Abstract
This research project focuses on the improvement of air conditioning system efficiency in buildings, which is crucial for maintaining indoor environments. However, these systems often consume more than half of a buildings energy in extreme climates. This leads to energy costs. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. To tackle this challenge within the context of growing energy demands and sustainability concerns the study examines solutions to enhance air conditioning efficiency. The main research question explores economic approaches to boost energy efficiency. It suggests that factors such as equipment selection, system operation, maintenance practices and building design can collectively contribute to efficiency. The study dives into aspects including equipment selection, design considerations, system operation and maintenance practices while emphasizing the role of climate conditions building types and occupancy patterns in decision-making processes. Additionally, it underscores the importance of sizing of equipment, appropriate technology choices and optimal layout designs. The study acknowledges the influence of building design by examining elements such as insulation quality, shading techniques, and integration with air conditioning systems. Furthermore, Along explores solutions along with their economic implications and potential benefits in terms of reducing energy consumption, alleviating strain on power grids and decreasing emissions to contribute towards sustainability goals and climate change mitigation efforts. The findings are supported by four case studies conducted in Brazil and India, which showcase the practicality and advantages of implementing these measures.
