Dear #energymastodon, I’m in Thailand for the first time for my brother’s wedding, and because I’ve grown up in countries that don’t use aircon, I had no real intuition for:
a) how much energy a typical room unit consumed
b) much ppl use aircon if they can afford it
Who is writing good analysis about the predicted spike in load in Europe when people who haven’t used aircon start using it more, because they get it “for free” after switching from gas boilers to heat pumps?
Regarding your last comment. Air to air heat pumps are relatively rare when it comes to installations in Germany right now. Most are air to water which don’t share the same cooling capacity. So the question I have in my my mind is “how many extra ACs” will we get. Fun fact just last month the first AC was installed in my street.
@mrchrisadams it’s a good read. Most eye opening prediction for me was that, the majority of people who will own an AC in the future don’t own one now! 🤯
