  2. #UnpopularOpinion: #Europe should deploy air-con en masse, through reversible Air-to-Air #HeatPumps.

    The increase in Energy use for cooling in the Summer will be largely compensated by the reduction in Energy use for #heating in the winter.

  3. Last year the summer was so warm and the house poorly insulated that it was intolerable hot overnight for weeks on end.

    So I finally caved and bought a portable air con unit so I can cool the bedroom down at least.

    A friend has pointed out to me that it will be inefficient and noisy but my view is that it is better than nothing given how incredibly old my house is.

  7. American Expat's Sydney Observations Spark Discontent

    An American expat's comments on Sydney's chicken salt, coffee, and air conditioning spark debate among Australians. Find out what's causing the fuss.

  8. With the #elninio predicted to be terrible for the #Australian summer in 7 months, I've been doing some back of the envelope calculations to upgrade the AC...
    Note: This is all for our HEAT SHELTER room.
    The bedroom.

    With the ambient air temperature hitting 45-46C (114F) that's at the effective limit of split AC systems.

    1. Getting a larger wattage, 3.5kW than 2.5kW.
    The efficiency of the unit drops off at higher temperatures so the extra wattage gives you wiggle room.
    Downside: Thermo shuts off earlier at lower temperatures, may not dehumidify the room.

    2. Placing the unit off the ground, as heatwave temps heat ground to 60-70C (158F), as high as practicable (not on roof either as roof heats up)

    3. My idea of a water mister before air intake to precool. Or even another AC pre-cooling the intake. I have a couple old single system units I could jimmy rig. This would work, any drop in intake temp is good. 5-15 degrees on a good day.

    4. Shading the unit, no brainer, make a small sunshade so the casing is not at 60-70C

    5. I will have to look at the external plant units, to make sure intake is on one side and not all around, the better to pre-cool it

    6. Power, power cuts happen during the heatwave.
    Lucky we put in 16kW solar and battery.
    Even with 22% drop in panel efficiency at high T, we still good.
    ALWAYS GET HIGHER CAP than you think you will need.

    If you have the money, get the industrial chiller HVAC but it's louder and more $

  16. Buildings are turning to ‘#IceBatteries’ for #sustainable #AirConditioning

    By ISABELLA O’MALLEY
    Updated 10:46 AM EST, October 8, 2025

    "Every night some 74,000 gallons (280,000 liters) of water are frozen at Norton Audubon Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. The hospital used to get all of its air conditioning from a conventional system found in most U.S. buildings, but now 27 tanks of ice sustain a network of cold-water pipes keeping operating rooms at safe temperatures and patients comfortable.

    "This type of thermal energy storage, also known as ice batteries, is being added to buildings in the U.S. for its ability to provide cool air without releasing planet-warming emissions. These systems cut electricity usage and lower the strain on the grid. With rising temperatures and the growing demand for electricity in the U.S., ice thermal energy storage offers a sustainable option for cooling buildings.

    "Trane Technologies, a company that makes heating and cooling equipment, says it has seen a growing demand for this technology over the past few years. Its ice batteries are mostly used in schools as well as commercial and government buildings. Nostromo Energy, another company that makes ice batteries, is pursuing customers among energy-intensive data centers that have high cooling demands. Smaller systems are also made for homes by companies such as Ice Energy."
