Ep. 44 Building eco-friendly air conditioning

1.2 billion people face heat risk due to a lack of access to cooling. The problem is, residential AC use alone is set to account for an increase of more than 0.5 ⁰C in global surface temperature. Transaera has built a sustainable solution.

Why We Made this Film

Our warming climate is just one reason that cooling systems could become the world’s single-largest use of electricity in buildings by 2050. The problem is, today’s ACs consume more energy in humid conditions - it’s a positive feedback loop. 

Transaera is a startup building cooling systems that help break that loop. Their tech excels in high-humidity environments where the material can remove moisture more effectively without creating condensation, resulting in a dramatic decrease in energy consumption and keeping people, as well as the planet, cooler.
