For example, people in southern developed regions had a higher average rate of air conditioning ownership than people settled in the northern regions (27) where lack of income was the major reason to stop them buying or using air conditioning during heat waves (36).
As average temperatures increase, the reach of air conditioning will be extended, even to the relatively cool areas of the world where saturation is currently low," he says.
The WBGT difference means the differences between WBGT at the time of starting the air conditioning and the average of the peak WBGT wave pattern (see Fig. 6).
The WBGT difference (i.e., (W_{{{text{s}} - {text{p}}}})) indicates the differences between the WBGT at the time of starting the air conditioning and the average of the peak WBGT wave pattern (see Fig. 6).
To place this in perspective of what households would normally pay if they generate the required cooling with home-based air conditioning equipment, the average cooling demand of 6 GJ/year requires 555 kWh per household electric energy which would costs each household €127/year only for electricity.
Mr. Wolfe peremptorily declares that by the year 2000 in America, "the average electrician, air-conditioning mechanic, or burglar-alarm repairman lived a life that would have made the Sun King blink," guzzling pints of expensive designer water and spending "his vacations in Puerto Vallarta, Barbados, or St. Kitts" (never mind the millions of Americans without health insurance).
According to the LA Times, air conditioning can run the average home a couple hundred dollars during peak summer months.
This is below the average air speed of 0.28 m/s, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers permitted.
The average demand curves are peakier for hot and cold days due to increased air conditioning load.
And universal air conditioning!
