The importance of energy efficiency in refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump sectors.

Author(s) : ONU Environnement (ex-PNUE)

Type of monograph: Booklet

Summary

The Ozone Secretariat has prepared three briefing notes to support parts A, B and C of the 9–10 July 2018 Vienna workshop on energy efficiency opportunities in the context of phasing-down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
This briefing note, intended for part A, provides an overview of energy and carbon related issues, looking in particular at:
- the rising demand for cooling and the growth of refrigeration,air-conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) equipment in global electricity consumption and peak demand;
- cooling-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions;
- energy efficiency opportunities in the RACHP sectors and HFC phase-down; and
- the multiple benefits of more efficient RACHP equipment.
This note also addresses briefly the technical potential for improving RACHP energy efficiency, as well as policy measures, financing and barriers to efficiency. Briefing Notes B and C explore these topics in more detail.
The purpose of this information note is to provide a background for the parties. It is not meant to be exhaustive or in any way prescriptive
