Air Conditioners (DE-UZ 204)

Stationary air conditioners
Air conditioners are designed to control the thermal comfort of living and working rooms and are especially used in those countries that regularly experience high outdoor temperatures. Yet an increased use of air conditioners in Germany, in parallel to more frequent hot spells, is also expected. If it is not possible to avoid the use of air conditioners with the aid of construction measures, environmentally friendly and energy efficient air conditioners could enable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, above all due to the use of natural refrigerants and increasing the efficiency of the devices. In addition, the requirements set by the environmental label should ensure that suppliers of air conditioners provide services of a higher professional quality.
