Air conditioning use is projected to triple by 2050 under business as usual scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The world is getting hotter, but the technology needed to keep us comfortable is a major contributor to climate change,&#8221; said Sam Ringwaldt, report author and Conry Tech CEO and co-founder. &#8220;As more of the world experiences 40C+ days, air conditioning will cease to be a luxury in these regions, it will become a necessity for human health, wellbeing, and survival. If we can&#8217;t live without HVAC, we need to find better ways to live with it and not allow it to wreak havoc on our planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The authors of the report said the research aims to quantify the impact of this &#8220;largely ignored&#8221; industry, and &#8220;shine a light on the problem for people not in the industry&#8221;.\u00a0They added that also want to encourage the uptake of lower emissions solutions such as heat pumps and more efficient AC technologies.\u00a0To reduce the global impact of HVAC, the report advises that buildings will need to be 100 per cent electrified in the future and that more energy efficient heating and cooling solutions will need to be installed as standard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The HVAC sector creates more greenhouse gases than all the passenger vehicles on the planet combined,&#8221; added Ringwaldt. &#8220;Far more than other well-known problematic sectors such as mining, concrete production, and aviation. Not only is the HVAC industry a major polluter, but its extreme consumption of electricity is also delaying the global transition to renewable energy by putting extra pressure on the grid. Each year, air-conditioning alone consumes twice as much energy as all the solar energy generated worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4122816\/wreaking-hvac-heating-ventilation-air-conditioning-industry-responsible-billion-tonnes-co2\">Business Green<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/wreaking-hvac-heating-ventilation-and-air-conditioning-industry-responsible-for-5-5-billion-tonnes-of-co2-a-year\/\">Wreaking HVAC: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry responsible for 5.5 billion tonnes of CO2 a year<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4470,73,1683,11213,606,607,608,11214],"class_list":["post-116330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air-conditioning","tag-co2","tag-heating","tag-tonn","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-ventolation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
