How To Be Eco-Friendly When Using Air Conditioners

By Derrick Payton


Air conditioning pollution was really a serious problem recently. Currently, there is a high demand for home units. Many individuals assume that ac units are beginning to play a role in climatic change. There was a treaty called the Montreal Protocol that was signed way back in 1987 that was specifically geared towards air conditioners. The treaty was designed to shield the ozone layer from air conditioners, blocking out multiple types of halogenated hydrocarbons.From the time the Montreal Protocol was created, chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere have stayed the exact same, however the halons were able to increase. At the same time, reports were all on the web saying that individuals have been trying to sneak chlorofluorocarbon from newly countries and countries including China and India. Even now, the Montreal Protocol treaty is still considered the most effective worldwide environmental agreement on record.

Once the air conditioner is running, it releases small particles that can float into people's lungs, allowing it to be harder for individuals to breathe. This type of pollution is extremely capable of causing respiratory tract infections and asthma.

Recently, the top brand air conditioning brands including Concord, Armstrong and American Standard have modified their systems where they don't lead to climate change.

Cooling your home by having an air conditioner is an effective thing for yourself and your loved ones, but it's actually moving the heat outside, which happens to be not good for the planet. The folks in north america use the most electricity for hvac than any country.across the world (China at some point is anticipated to surpass us by 2020). For every country, the amount of individuals who uses air conditioning units for homes will only carry on and rise because every year, the summers continue to get hotter. Coal and energy sources are often running the electricity needed for most houses. This is changing our climate dramatically.

With everything steady going up including incomes, the people and the hot temperatures, air conditioning only will continue to rise.

With everything rising including incomes, the population and the hot temperatures, air conditioning will only continue to rise. When the Montreal Protocol was first established, people were not educated enough on how air conditioning was destroying the ozone layer. This means that even today with the modifications on the technology the air conditioners have, it could still be destroying the ozone layer. But, there is a positive side with the technology we have today. As of now, countries including the United States, China and India are all working on new low energy techniques that would be geared toward climates with higher temperatures. They are adding older technologies such as water evaporation systems and wind towers to newer eco-friendly technologies. Right now, they've managed develop a solar energy air conditioners, which will help lower people's energy payments by eliminating rooftop panels. Then you have the geothermal heat pumps, which is designed to use the typical earth temperature to heat up and cool down water. One strategy that includes no technology is using no air conditioner. Now I know that this method doesn't seem very attractive, but it can be a very easy method to actually keep you cool. It included insulating your home properly. To use this method, first go out and buy a multiple floor and ceiling fans. Then, open up your windows to allow the air to properly flow. Personally, I wouldn't use this method unless you live in an area with shorter and less hot summers.
