Danfoss: Hot air behind your fridge – the future of (sustainable) cooling

Picture this – you live in a hot and humid climate, and you get access to energy. What´s the first thing you buy to stay cool? Yes, an air conditioner (AC). As incomes and standards of living increase, so is the use of ACs in buildings around the world. As a result, the global energy demand for ACs is expected to triple by 2050[1]. The problem is people are buying ACs whose average efficiencies are less than half of what´s available on the market today[2].
