What are the challenges?
The current trend shows, that energy needs for space cooling – almost entirely in the form of electricity – will more than triple between 2016 and 2050, driven mainly by the residential sector (2,000 TWh => 6,000 TWh)
Most of the projected growth in energy use for cooling is set to come from India, China and other emerging economies
Space cooling is set to overtake appliances and plug loads to become the single largest user of electricity in buildings (2015: 10%; 2050: 30%)
