I don’t think it’s the AC but the materials homes are built of, and insulation.
Underground homes are going to become very popular.
Here’s an idea: build houses out of concrete, require all structures to have a minimum use period of 150 years, and mandate a minimum 9′ ceiling in hot climates. With this done, non-A/C air ventilation will be sufficient for most people. The homes that use the most A/C are all cheap postwar wood clapboard houses, like the one I live in, with terrible 7′ ceilings and no ventilation anywhere. All suburban housing is terrible for A/C efficiency though, versus denser multi-unit dwellings where multiple people can share one A/C system.
Saudi Arabia already spends the majority of their power on AC. Not infrastructure or industry, but battling heat.
More like: how to cool off your environment by heating up other environments.
It might also be nice to work on not having hotter summers.
if you would be able to operate your furnace for cooking outside your living space, there was much less need for BTU’s cooling capacity.
Well for one we can stop with the stupid refrigerant musical chairs game and adopt the actual best refrigerants, propane (R-290) and butane (R-600a). Safety isn’t a problem if the heat pump is a monobloc and only chilled water enters living spaces. NFPA and ASHRAE need to get their heads out of their asses.
