Summary

The present paper shall serve as input to Grenada’s NDC process, by providing quantitative and qualitative analyses on mitigation actions related to space cooling in buildings.
Initially, the document provides relevant background information of Grenada’s building as well as refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector. In the following, Grenada’s building and RAC sectors are analyzed in depth, emphasizing the key variables and underlying assumptions for efficient mitigation of GHG emissions related to space cooling in buildings. Different GHG emissions pathways are developed for both the building and RAC sector, to then show the mitigation potential in each of these two subsectors. The technical emissions reduction
potential is then quantified, and corresponding policy measures are delineated, which are based on international and regional best practice examples. Based on a gap analysis of best practice examples and the status quo, barriers are identified, and appropriate interventions and concrete steps proposed. With regard to the RAC sector, the main focus of this report is on the unitary AC (UAC) subsector, and in particular on single-split AC appliances7, as they are most frequently used for space cooling in buildings. Nonetheless, other key appliances within the RAC sector, namely chillers as well as domestic and light commercial refrigeration, are considered to some extent in this paper. This link from single-split AC to other RAC appliances is relevant in regard to the policy framework, market mechanisms and capacity building/awareness, and for eventually making the best use of potential synergies within existing and planned initiatives within these fields of action.
