Residential air conditioning in developing countries
AbstractThe amount of energy needed to supply residences in developing countries with air conditioning (AC) was calculated for an energy-efficient base-case building, as well as for a number of alternative assumptions, using PEAR 2.1 (Program for Energy Analysis of Residences). For a warm and humid developing country climate, the result was 40–80 We/capita, when building envelopes, air conditioners, and other equipment were comparable to the most energy-efficient technology commercially available in Western Europe today and passive cooling and other energy-efficient cooling methods were used whenever possible. Further significant reductions of energy demand may be obtained with more efficient AC units now under development, but not through further improvements of the building envelope. The 1981 averagee electricity consumption for residential AC in 25 Palm Beach residences was 227 We/capita. To prevent electricity supply from becoming a constraint on development, it is important to improve building envelopes and appliances before AC is widely introduced in developing countries.
