In modern life, people spend a large portion of time in indoor environments. A huge amount of energy is consumed in order to provide a comfortable indoor environment. For example, almost 90% of the total electricity in Hong Kong is consumed by buildings at end-use level as stated by the government. Among different electricity end-uses, thermal systems contribute to a significant consumption of electricity in buildings, with 36% of electricity used to power space conditioning and refrigeration systems. In this talk, the speaker will talk about some new future cooling schemes for use in buildings, followed by a discussion of the current research challenges in energy efficient cooling technologies.
