We bring to you the 5th edition of the #AIRSeries (Ask, Innovate and Reduce), a step to create an ecosystem of sharing and exchanging thoughts about Energy Efficiency.
We will continue hosting Twitter chats and LinkedIn Q&A series with thought leaders and we would invite them to share their experiences, analysis, and thoughts on segments in which they are the master of.
The fifth edition of the #AIRSeries had Dan Hamza-Goodacre, Director at Climate Works and Executive Director of Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program join us for the Twitter chat session on the topic ‘Clean and Efficient Cooling for All – Biggest Challenge of Our Times’. The chat was held on the 4th of October, 2018 from 4:30 PM IST / 9 PM AEST.

Change is the only constant! Ultimately, there is still only one inhabitable planet. There is still an infinite amount of solar and wind power. Efficiency is still the cheapest form of energy supply #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling @climateworks

Agreed. We missed the productivity angle. How much bang can we get for or energy buck.

Climate philanthropy is growing. The $4bn GCAS pledge symbolizes our progress. We need to join up agendas, eg health philanthropy funds climate action in recognition of the role a stable climate plays for health & viceversa #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling @climateworks

1 billion+ people are at high risk of heat stress because of a lack of cooling. It’s a matter of life & death for thousands of people & getting worse. We need to meet cooling needs without toxic F-gases & by using clean power efficiently #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling

Efficiency reduces the costs of decarbonisation at the macro level. And at the household efficiency can cut the size and cost of a solar home system thereby scaling energy access. We need to integrate EE better with renewables
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Spoiler alert:VERY CRITICAL! All countries agreed Kigali Amendment to phase down toxic F-gases. All come together for training & best practice sharing. Countries collaborate on common standards & cooperate on enforcement #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling @climateworks

Not fast enough no, especially in hard to reach places like the Pacific Islands, and rural Africa. It's tech but also business model transfer as well. Both need to spread faster
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
We need to do better to collect data on efficiency, for products in the market & on efficiency savings. Blockchain can help but with 1.5bn ACs it’s impossible to get all data. Check out the new IEA tracker. Best account yet. Data=power #AIRseries @entechventures @ClimateWorks
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
For cooling, smart ACs are on the rise. And the connected home more generally. But progress has been slow for households. Businesses are much faster at automating energy management. The cost savings are more material.

Good re calculating lower energy bills, less pollution, better health. Then politics kicks in. Some firms say costs high. Others innovate & offer good, affordable tech. History=standards rise & price falls. Brazil & India just passed new MEPS. Congrats! #AIRseries @entechventures
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Have you been tracking what @EESL did to #LEDs. Do you something of that sort happening to ACs at scale? Its certainly a different ball game though!
— Umesh Bhutoria | #FEL100 (@UmeshBhutoria) October 4, 2018
Congrats to @EESL_India leading the way. AC bulk buy harder than LEDs but the opportunity is opening up
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Go faster on efficiency, digitisation & f-gas phase down at prices consumers afford. Beyond that firms can offer products as services. An AC is a manifestation of how we get cooling. Firms can do circular economy design & avoid junk appliance graveyards #AIRseries @entechventures
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
We're working on it! Soon to launch a new initiative. We need standard contracts, more demos (iconic ones), and general awareness raising. District cooling is one example but great if we can move to pay per unit of coolth!
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Big picture: a quantum leap in cooling efficiency! Short term: 23 MEPS, 27 national cooling plans, a huge mobilisation of finance, the Cooling as a Service club, the world’s biggest cool roofs prize, health sector work…. #AIRseries @entechventures
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Thx. It's a big issue, and as the world gets hotter as we fail to curb pollution, then demand for cooling soars. It's a vicious circle. And so dumb. We've got to stop cooling down in a way that heats us up!

Hang out with the family. Walk the dog. Watch Liverpool FC (go the Reds!) Run. Plan adventures! And daydream about crazy ideas to make this planet a healthier, better place. #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling @climateworks

Enjoy having long hair (in fact any hair length at all!). Be quicker to learn that my wife is always right 😉 & to use a great phase 'keep calm and carry on' #AIRseries @entechventures @kigali_cooling @climateworks
— Dan Hamza-Goodacre (@mrdanhg) October 4, 2018
Likewise, thank you @UmeshBhutoria #twitterchat #AIRseries @entechventures what a fun chat and hopefully inspiring to some! Keep up the great work

That was an amazing session by @mrdanhg! We thank him for joining us for the 5th edition of the #AIRSeries #TwitterChat. pic.twitter.com/ICSgrVGWBI
