28 sie 2024 · Air conditioning currently accounts for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. If we continue with business as usual, emissions from cooling are expected to double by 2030 and to triple by 2050. Air conditioning and our net-zero goals
21 paź 2020 · According to the IEA the power needed to keep air conditioners and electric fans running accounts for 20% of global electricity use. This has the potential to drive substantial increases in energy and greenhouse gas emissions, worsening the climate crisis.
The cooling services industry is currently responsible for over 10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so it is critical to investigate how the expansion of cooling services will impact future GHG emissions.
