Air Conditioning in Emerging Economies
Author: Clean Technology Date Posted:23 August 2016
As the world population increases and modern amenities become available to developing countries, the desires and needs of these emerging economies are logically changing. In particular, air conditioning (AC) and ventilation have become essential for both domestic and commercial use throughout the developing world. However, we understand that this sudden upsurge in cooling needs has both financial and environmental costs. Thankfully, there are several ways that these communities can benefit from air conditioning in a low cost market while also balancing the surplus carbon emissions that have come from this sudden wave of excess air conditioning units around the world.
Sudden upsurge in global AC requirements
Before discussing alternative, low cost, and environmentally friendly air conditioning options for emerging economies, it is important to understand exactly why there is currently a surplus of global AC requirements. In addition to increased population in emerging economies, an increase in consumer income levels and a revival of the housing market have piqued interest in this particular technology. These factors, combined with an increase in the development of reliable energy technologies, make air conditioning a necessity for domestic, commercial, and industrial clients in these areas.
