Inverter technology and the role of the user behavior: Towards a more efficient use of energy
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article analyzes the energy efficiency of air conditioning (AC) systems with inverter technology compared to On/Off systems, highlighting the importance of user behavior in energy consumption. AC is essential for comfort and health, but it also contributes significantly to CO2 emissions due to high energy consumption. Inverter technology can reduce energy consumption by maintaining a more stable internal temperature and reducing operating costs and emissions in comparison with On/Off systems. However, incorrect use by users, such as turning the AC to maximum capacity and then reducing it, lead to energy inefficiencies. Thus, users play a crucial role in the control to improve energy efficiency. It has been studied that the participation of users in temperature management and the advanced technologies use optimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact. i.e., the adoption of inverter systems and user education are essential to achieve a more sustainable and efficient use of energy in hot climate areas.
