Australian Heating and Cooling Trends.

We already have remotely activated air conditioning on our smartphones, now there are new ways to lower energy consumption when heating and cooling our homes.

Motion Activated Air Conditioning:

This new design uses sensors attached to aluminium rods hung from the ceiling. When movement is detected in the room the air conditioner turns on. By only activating when there are people in the room, energy consumption is reduced.

Ice Powered Air Conditioning:

This unit works by freezing a specially designed tank of water overnight, this utilises off-peak power usage to save money. The ice system is then used the next day with minimal energy use.

Thermal Driven Air Conditioning:

Use of thermally driven air conditioning has not become widespread to date, but will probably take off in the next few years. This system uses solar energy and is supplemented by natural gas. This makes it a highly efficient and effective air condition system and provides more cooling capabilities than any other system. With this system, electricity costs are eliminated.

Geothermal Heat Pumps:

These get their energy directly from the earth through an underground looped pipe that absorbs heat and brings it into the home.

Geothermal heat pumps are also able to provide free hot water. So, although it is a major investment up-front to have installed, it will help you save quite a considerable amount money over time.

Under Floor Heating:

When electric wires or loops of pipes that circulate warm liquid beneath the flooring in your home are installed, you will experience warmth from the ground up. Instead of hot air heating your home, a floor heating system will generate radiant heat which will eliminate swings in temperature.

Depending on the level of insulation you have in your home, floor heating systems can increase energy efficiency by 30 percent more than a regular heating system.

Even though embracing new technologies can be expensive, in the long run you will save money and help to look after our amazing planet.
