Energy Efficiency: Cooling
The global exchange for energy efficiency policies, data and impacts
The Global Exchange on Cooling is the IEA's home for cooling efficiency data and analysis. This site also serves as a progress tracker for the Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol.
The world faces a 'cold crunch'
Cooling energy use in buildings has doubled since 2000, from 3.6 EJ to 7 EJ, making it the fastest growing end-use in buildings, led by a combination of warmer temperatures and increased activity due to population and economic growth.
Without efficiency gains, space cooling energy use could more than double between now and 2040 due to increased activity and use of air conditioning. In the Efficient World Scenario, energy efficiency for cooling offsets much of the climate, activity and structure impacts to limit cooling energy growth between now and 2040 to 19%.
