Energy-Saving Technologies for Inverter Air Conditioners

Consumer Valuation of Energy-Saving Features of Residential Air Conditioners with Hedonic and Choice Models

The promotion of energy-efficient appliances is necessary to reduce the energetic and environmental burden of the household sector. However, many studies have reported that a typical consumer underestimates the benefits of energy-saving investment on the purchase of household electric appliances. To analyze this energy-efficiency gap problem, many scholars have estimated implicit discount rates...

Improving Air-Conditioners’ Energy Efficiency Using Green Roof Plants

Dirty Air Conditioners: Energy Implications of Coil Fouling

Residential air conditioning is responsible for a substantial amount of peak electrical demand and energy consumption throughout most of the United States. Coil fouling, the deposition of indoor dusts and other particulate matter on evaporator heat exchangers, increases system pressure drop and, correspondingly, decreases system air flow and air conditioner performance. In this paper, we apply ...
