Why?Air Conditioning is responsible for 14-22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As the globe warms and developing nations grow economically, the demand for AC is skyrocketing. Simply put, we are heating the world by cooling it down. As refrigerant management and unit efficiency improves in the medium-term, we must take demand-side measures NOW. Thankfully, there is a win-win-win solution. New research has found that employees are more productive at 25C, not 21C as previously thought. By changing your AC /HVAC setting to 25C, your organisation can typically: > save 6% on your electricity bill, and reduce your emissions by 3% for every 1-degree increase in temperature*> improve the productivity and comfort of their staff, especially women> improve your corporate social responsibility credentials *To calculate your potential benefits and pledge your support (it's free), visit www. go25degrees.org
