According to National Renewable Energy Laboratory experts, air cooling is already responsible for 3.94% of yearly carbon emissions (排放) worldwide, which will only worsen as higher global temperatures continue to drive the growing need for air conditioning. Meanwhile, increased energy bills and a Jack of gas supply are other significant concerns. The climate change and energy issues call for serious efforts to carry out more effective projects to answer these challenges.
Heat pumps (泵) seem to be visible, and they are gaining attention — particularly in the US and UK. They function by transferring heat from the outside air to water while generating cold air, thereby keeping homes cool. According to a recent study, using heat pumps can help homeowners reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money on energy, and improve their health. The findings, published in Environmental Research Letters, indicate that heat pumps will lower emissions for two-thirds of families while benefiting one-third of US homeowners financially.
Dalrada Corporation was established by Brian Bonar in 1982 with a vision to transform meaningful ideas into solutions to serve humanity. Since then, the organization has expanded its operations to serve plentiful business sectors. The company helps industrial, commercial, and consumer industries in various sections, such as science, health care, engineering and technology. Dalrada’s high-temperature CO2-based heat pump offers clean heating and cooling without requiring burning fossil (化石) fuels. The technology is promising, and the US government had selected Dalrada’s heat pump as a green building pioneer to inspire more energy transformation new technologies.
According to multiple studies focusing on the hotel industry, the most expensive bill is for electricity, followed by water and gas. Dalrada’s LikidoTM heat pump is the company’s flagship product. A low-carbon, heating and cooling pump design provides an extraordinary solution for reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Eventually, this creative technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and costs for hotels around the world.
