HVAC Industry in the Spotlight in Global Energy Debate
The HVAC industry is taking center stage in the global climate change debate as data pinpoints dramatically increasing global demand for air conditioning as a key area of concern.
- (1888PressRelease) February 17, 2019 - According to recent reports, the global demand for air conditioning units is set to increase threefold by 2050, turning the heat up on the HVAC industry from environmentalists concerned about global energy usage.
The growing demand for AC is proving to be a serious cause for concern as AC units consume comparatively large amounts of electricity compared to other household devices, and experts believe that this will make air conditioning one of the key drivers of electricity demand in the decades to come.
This is especially worrying considering the UN’s latest damning report on climate change. The report, issued last October, gives world governments an estimated 12 years to implement radical changes to ‘turn back the clock’ on climate change and drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or else face global disaster.
At the center of this global energy debate is the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) industry. As governments face increasing pressure to reduce their emissions, HVAC companies, manufacturers, and designers are being forced to do their part.
In light of the expected increase in AC units, experts believe that it’s more important now than ever before to make these units more efficient in the way they use energy. This has lead the government of various countries to consider changing the way they regulate the HVAC industry.
The Australian government, for example, recently warned the HVACR industry that they would have to prepare for much stricter energy efficiency standards in 2019, as part of the country’s ultimate goal of widespread net-zero energy consumption.
Part of the changes they plan includes retrofitting old buildings to be at least 4 times more energy efficient than they are at present.
HVAC air filters also play a big role in energy efficiency, as units that use old filters waste significantly more energy than those that have efficient, new filters. Companies like Mervfilters provide high-quality replacement filters that can help households to reduce their carbon footprint.
