Addressing gender and regional disparities in access to cooling
The annual Chilling Prospects report estimates that 1.12 billion poor people in rural and urban areas are at high risk due to a lack of access to cooling.
More than one billion people are at high risk due to a lack of access to cooling
The annual Chilling Prospects report estimates that 355 million people living in poor rural areas and 732 million people living in poor urban areas are at risk due to a lack of access to cooling worldwide....
Asia: record temperatures in April increase cooling demand
In April 2023, hotter-than-average temperatures have been recorded in Asia, affecting electricity and cooling demand.
Challenges related to the adoption of air conditioning in emerging economies by 2040
The authors of a recent article modelled the adoption of air conditioning by 2040 in four emerging economies: Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Mexico. The adoption of AC could increase between two- to sixteen-fold,...
Refrigeration reduces the glycemic index of cooked rice
Several studies highlight the benefits of refrigeration on the glycaemic index of rice, which is important in the control of chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Caloric cooling: state of the art and perspectives
A recent IJR article reviews the most significant results obtained over the past ten years in the field of magnetocaloric cooling and more recently in the field of electrocaloric, elastocaloric and barocaloric cooling. It also presents the...
HFCs are “ weak ozone-depleting substances”
Although HFCs are promoted as being zero ODP refrigerants, they do have a small but measurable effect on ozone depletion, according to a new study by NASA.
