What Does This Mean For The Environment?


Air-conditioners don’t just consume large amounts of energy and increase our carbon footprints. Emissions from refrigerants used in air conditioning (CFC’s, HCFC’s or HFC’s) are harmful as well, adversely impacting ozone levels and global climate. In fact, refrigeration and air conditioning related emissions represent almost 64% of all CFC’s and HCFC’s produced (AFEAS, 2001)

Therefore, it can be seen that the widespread usage of air-conditioners in Singapore will almost certainly contribute significantly to global warming, an obviously important issue to a small island nation that might sink underwater if the sea level continues to rise.
