A study found that waste heat generated by a city’s worth of air conditioners during a heatwave can raise the outside temperature by more than 2 degrees Celsius.
I would be hardly a qualified person to tell you if they are the biggest offenders but I think it makes sense to ask this question. If they have a significant impact on temps worldwide or citywide.
I’m guessing they are if they use power to cool and pull out hot air as well. No other appliances really move heated air around. Except fridges and freezers.
Ok that’s very helpful. So are AC units the biggest offender ? Depending on their power and efficiency?
