Air conditioning leave the environment cor u
Hot weather prefers climatic devices to cool many people while becoming a bit more overwhelming every day. According to the International Energy Agency, fan and air conditioners will consume electricity up to the total amount of electricity in China and India consumes today. Environmental defenders are concerned about the use of air conditioning and high energy consumption.
Three times less efficient than Energy should be
A air conditioning uses much more electricity than other household appliances. It creates 10 percent of global electricity consumption with fans. The climate campaigner Sophie Geoghegan in London-based non-governmental organization Environmental Research Agency (Environmental Investigation Agency) says that it is three times less efficient than the energy used for air conditioning. Geoghegan reminds a lot of energy-consuming air conditioners work for hours in one day. On the other hand, energy consumption is only part of the problem. Air conditioning is also leaking hydrofluorocarbon (HFK) from hazardous greenhouse gases that cause global warming to the environment. The most widely used in air conditioning fluid R-410As increase 2 thousand times stronger and greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide. Geoghegan, about the danger of salinan chemical gases; "This is terrible. When the number of areas of air conditioning is considered, this can be a disaster. [
The European countries regularly use air conditioning
]
Some countries in Europe have taken measures to limit the use of air conditioning. Italy and Spain have put rules on how much air conditioners can be set at the lowest extent in public buildings. About Us; 25 in Italy, prohibited air conditioning use under 27 degrees in Spain. However, this applies only to public buildings, including schools. Air temperature outside in public buildings in France is prohibited to operate air conditioning if under 26 degrees. France also banned the doors of air-conditioned stores shortly before. The arrangement was made to purchase air conditioning in some cantons of Switzerland. For example, in Geneva there is a valid cause such as health problems to purchase air conditioning. Germany created the ‘archive supply standards’ that demand air conditioning to meet some environmental standards for public contracts. The ministry of Japan, outside Europe, determined that the temperature of air conditioning consumed 13 percent less energy per cent. As a result, business places have increased thermostat degrees by calling for more subtle dressings in summer.
They can be done to reduce the impact of air conditioning in work...
It can organize priority living spaces in a way that does not require air conditioning. Municipalities should make the city planning more tree and green area, buildings should be positioned considering shade and ventilation. The authorities in France, where a very severe hot air wave hits in 2007, provided bulk cooling space service. Air-conditioned halls have been created to cool people together for the attempt to reduce individual air conditioning usage. Geoghegan accepts that air conditioning may be necessary for fragile cuttings, living in the hottest regions of the world or due to health conditions. However, governments say that the air conditioning sector should be subject to more stringent regulatory standards. Geoghegan says “It is not a world sustainable world where everyone has air conditioning.”
One solution is not air conditioning...
While the air conditioning in extreme warms looks like a single solution, it is possible to cool without damaging both the environment and the budget. French health authorities provide some advice to protect from extreme hot weather:
* Close the shutter and curtain of your solar space windows. Keep your windows off if the outside temperature is higher than your home temperature. ventilate your home at night or early morning, at times where the temperature is lower. [
* Avoid using electric devices such as oven, computer, hair dryer.
* Stay in the room or part where the temperature is lowest in your home.
*In case you can not cool your home, try to spend 2 - 3 hours in areas such as air-conditioned shopping mall, supermarket.
*Serin shower and do not be established. regularly moisten your body with towels or a wet cloth.
* Spend as little as possible outside 11.00 and 21.00 in the evening.
* Attach the hat and dress light clothes in case of whistle. Thick as shade as possible. Reduce intensive energy spent activities such as sports.
*For regular water to prevent water loss in the body. consume 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day. Ask your doctor who needs to drink some water if you have a health problem.
*Alkol, do not use caffeine and sugar.
