New RMI Study Finds Next-Gen ACs Cut Energy Costs by 50% in India

Air conditioning is set to become the world's second-largest driver of electricity demand by 2030—behind only electric vehicles and generating over three times the load of data centers. If current technologies persist, rising cooling needs will fuel a cycle of higher demand, rising costs, and pressure on already-stressed power grids. This study shows that scaling super-efficient ACs offers a clear solution: cutting energy use, lowering costs, improving comfort, and easing strain on the grid. ...
