Staying Cool in A Warming Climate: Temperature, Electricity and Air Conditioning in Saudi Arabia

Author(s) : HOWARTH N., Odnoletkova N., Alshehri T., Almadani A., LANZA A.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

This study explores the relationship between temperature, electricity, air conditioning (AC) and CO₂ emissions, and the sustainability of cooling in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With the highest share of AC in household electricity consumption in the world and its already very hot summers warming by 3 °C in many areas over the last 40 years, Saudi Arabia provides an important case study of how the cooling challenge can be managed.
