Eco-Friendly Air Conditioning Units
Posted: September 6, 2010 – 11:56 pmAir conditioning units, whilst being a fantastic luxury in very hot or cold environments, can be extremely unfriendly to the environment. They use a lot of energy and have a high level of carbon emissions.
In recent years however, efforts have been made to produce air conditioning units that are friendlier to the environment. A new air conditioning system has recently been introduced however that is low energy, reduces CO2 and is made of natural materials.
The Cool Phase units save between 600-800kg of Carbon Dioxide per year, and don’t contain any ozone damaging refrigerants. The systems are made from completely compostable materials and once they reach the end of their life, are completely recyclable. This is a huge step forward for the air conditioning industry; demonstrating how we can continue to be comfortable without having to do such a considerable amount of damage to the environment.
Consumers will also be pleased to hear of the financial benefits of the system, which costs as little at 10p per day to run and even lets you fit the replacement filters yourself, saving you the cost of an engineer callout. The systems also hold heat during the day, that has been recovered from the sun. The units then store this power overnight, meaning they take very little additional energy to power the following morning. This reduces running costs considerably and allows for a reduced environmental impact.
Many major air conditioning companies are now trying to follow this example, with both Daikin air conditioning and Toshiba air conditioning now putting an increased emphasis on production of eco-friendly units.
If you can spend a bit of time researching and looking around online you’ll no doubt be able to find air conditioning units that are cheaper to run and are far more eco friendly. So if you’re trying to stay cool at the home or office, an air conditioning system might not be as expensive as you think.
