+Added: in use globally, and China and the United States accounted for 36% and 23% of the total consumption, respectively.
+Added: In addition, total
+Added: air conditioner sales in the five year period ending December 31, 2020 have averaged approximately 111 million units each year.
+Added: Air-conditioners
+Added: vary in energy efficiency and their usage lead to a global consumption of approximately 2,000 terawatt hours of electricity annually.
+Added: In addition, almost 20% of all the electricity used in buildings is for cooling, accounting for 14% of average peak residential electricity
+Added: demand globally.
+Added: emerging economies are expected to use more air-conditioners as income levels rise.
+Added: Of the 2.8 billion people living in the hottest parts
+Added: of the world, only 8% currently own air-conditioning units compared to approximately 90% ownership in the United States and Japan.
+Added: 2050, India, China and Indonesia may account for 50% of the projected growth in energy use for space cooling.
+Added: Emissions from the use of Air Conditioners
+Added: efficiency of air conditioners vary widely, in all major markets today, consumers are typically buying air conditioners whose average
+Added: efficiencies are less than half of what is available.
+Added: Carbon dioxide emissions from cooling systems have tripled since 1990 to 1,130
+Added: million tons in 2016, and local air pollutants caused by cooling systems have also increased.
+Added: Greenhouse Gases produced include Carbon
+Added: Dioxide and Climate Change:
+Added: dioxide is called a greenhouse gas because it absorbs infrared energy and remits this energy back in all directions.
+Added: About half of
+Added: that energy goes out into space and about half of it returns to Earth as heat, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate
+Added: four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases.
+Added: Carbon dioxide accounts for about 75%
+Added: of global greenhouse gas emissions.
+Added: 30% of greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, 25% come from the production of electricity, 23% comes from industrial
+Added: production, 12% comes from commercial and residential sources and 10% comes from agriculture.
+Added: change could increase the occurrence and severity of weather events, such as heat waves, droughts and floods.
+Added: These changes are likely
+Added: to increase losses to property and crops and affect economic activity.
+Added: usage of air conditioners has a significant impact on the environment.
+Added: Air-conditioners use chemical refrigerants, usually hydrofluorocarbons
+Added: in their heat exchange systems.
+Added: The hydrofluorocarbons contributes significantly to global warming if leaked to the atmosphere.
+Added: generation of the electricity to power the air conditioners also contribute to significant emissions, especially when fossil fuels
+Added: are burnt to produce electricity.
+Added: areas have higher temperatures than less urbanized areas, contributing to heat islands.
+Added: This is because urban areas usually have less
+Added: Roads and buildings absorb and re-emit daytime heat more than forests and water bodies.
+Added: As a result, urban daytime temperatures
+Added: can reach approximately 1 to 7 degrees higher in Fahrenheit than the outlying areas and night-time temperatures can reach approximately
+Added: 2 to 5 degrees higher in Fahrenheit.
+Added: The use of air conditioners extract hot air to the outside of buildings.
+Added: On high temperature days,
+Added: the hot air emitted by air-conditioner units increases the outdoor temperature.
+Added: This in turn increases the need for more cooling and
+Added: creates a feedback loop.
+Added: The use of air conditioners can increase outdoor urban temperatures by more than approximately 1 degree Celsius
+Added: in some cities
+Added: Efforts to combat Climate Change and Global Warming
+Added: the current rate of growth of energy use by air conditioners continues, the U.S.
+Added: Energy Information Administration (“EIA”)
+Added: predicts that by 2050, global energy usage for space cooling would triple to 6,200 terra watts.
+Added: This would triple the amount of carbon
+Added: dioxide emissions and heavy investments in electricity infrastructure to meet peak electricity demand.
+Added: This could cause severe financial
+Added: strain on emerging economies.
+Added: the years, countries around the world have come together to support policies to combat climate change.
+Added: However, obtaining consensus has
+Added: been challenging because of political and national circumstances.
+Added: The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which entered into force
+Added: on 1 January 2019, help protect the climate by phasing down high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are commonly
+Added: used as refrigerants.
+Added: Promoting the energy efficiency of cooling technology can also significantly increase climate benefits.
+Added: October 31 to November 12, 2021, the 26th annual UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) was held in Glasgow, Scotland.
+Added: The objectives
+Added: of COP26 were:
+Added: Countries were called out to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and to cap the increase in global temperatures below 1.5°C from
+Added: current levels;
+Added: To protect and restore ecosystems and habitats and build resilient infrastructures to withstand climate change;
+Added: Developed nations to mobilize $100bn in climate finance per year for poorer nations;
+Added: Parties of COP26 to finalize the agreement and rules for action and monitoring.
+Added: Role of Air conditioners Efficiency in combating Climate Change
+Added: the more energy efficient air-conditioners are, the less electricity they would consume, and less fossil fuels would be burnt to produce
+Added: This would lead to less carbon dioxide emissions which could reduce global warming.
+Added: EIA highlighted one area where policy action could deliver substantial energy savings quickly — by making air conditioners equipment
+Added: more efficient.
+Added: Through stricter minimum energy performance standards and other measure such as labelling, the average energy efficiency
+Added: of the stock of air conditioners globally could more than double in efficiency between now and 2050.
+Added: This could reduce cooling-related
+Added: energy demand to 3,400 terawatts in 2050 compared to 6,200 terawatts if efficiency remained at current levels.
+Added: The 45% reduction in energy
+Added: usage or 2,800 terawatts could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,582 megatons annually.
+Added: This scenario was called the Efficient Cooling
+Added: Scenario by EIA.
+Added: addition, the use of less electricity because of more efficient air conditioners greatly reduces the need to build new generation capacity
+Added: to meet peak electricity demand.
+Added: In the Efficient Cooling Scenario, there would not be a need to build additional capacity deliver the
+Added: 1,300 gigawatts of power with more efficient air conditioners.
+Added: This is equivalent to all the coal-fired power generation in China and
+Added: In addition, the cumulative infrastructure, fuel and operating costs savings amounted to $2.9 trillion from 2017 to 2050.
+Added: This means 45% lower electricity costs for everyone as well, compared to if there were no efficiency improvements in air conditioners
+Added: 2018, approximately 111 million units of air conditioners were sold globally of which approximately 87% were residential units and approximately
+Added: 13% were commercial units.
+Added: The CAGR from 2012 to 2018 was approximately 2.2%.
+Added: China was the largest consumer of air conditioners globally
+Added: and it accounted for approximately 40% of all air conditioners sales.
+Added: Asia (ex-Japan and China) had the highest CAGR of approximately
+Added: 5.3% from 2012 to 2018 followed by Africa at approximately 3.9% CAGR.
+Added: The global air conditioners systems market was valued at approximately
+Added: $106.6 billion in 2020 and was expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6.3% from 2021 to 2028.
