Rapid growth in residential air conditioning (AC) ownership will potentially undermine national energy efficiency and greenhouse reduction targets. Furthermore, residential AC is placing a strain on the national electricity system, especially during heat waves when electricity demand peaks. These AC-driven peak loads occur occasionally each summer, but increasing grid capacity to meet them represents a grossly inefficient infrastructure investment. This project will generate Australia's most comprehensive data set on exactly how, when, where, and why residential AC systems are being used. The outcomes will provide a solid platform on which national electricity demand management and AC greenhouse-gas mitigation strategies can be designed.

住宅空调（AC）拥有量的快速增长可能会破坏国家能源效率和温室气体减排目标。此外，住宅交流电给国家电力系统带来了压力，特别是在电力需求达到峰值的热浪期间。这些交流驱动的高峰负荷偶尔会在每年夏天出现，但增加电网容量以满足这些需求是一种效率极低的基础设施投资。该项目将生成澳大利亚最全面的数据集，详细说明住宅空调系统的使用方式、时间、地点和原因。这些成果将为国家电力需求管理和空调温室气体减排战略的设计提供一个坚实的平台。
