Hi All
Cooling currently accounts for about 10% of all electricity consumption globally. However, this number is set to increase dramatically as people in hot developing countries install air conditioners. Over the next three decades, ACs are set to become one of the top drivers of global electricity demand. Without action to address energy efficiency, energy demand for space cooling will more than triple by 2050. See this IEA report for more details.
What do you think are best ways to ensure that consumers and businesses use energy efficient cooling?
And how can we encourage AC manufacturers to make energy efficiency a top priority?
