If today's best performing prototype were scaled globally...
0.614 GT of CO2e emissions would be avoided annually
=
Australia and Finland's combined current annual CO2e emissions

Gray bar indicates unit is failing to meet required indoor conditions of 27 degree Celsius and 60% relative humidity after allowing for sensor uncertainty

* Fixed-speed, mini-split type RAC unit with an Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) of 3.5 W/W and using R22 refrigerant - representative of the most commonly sold RACs in the Indian market in 2018

** Climate impact of a prototype is determined by combining electricity reduction (kWh) and refrigerant GWP reduction, using assigned weighting of 80:20 respectively, relative to the baseline unit.

*** The climate impact range of the commercially best available technology is determined by combining electricity reduction (as implied by published ISEER ratings) and refrigerant GWP using assigned weighting of 80:20 respectively, relative to the operating conditions maintained by baseline unit #2.

Indoor temperature below 20 degree Celsius is outside the minimum threshold for assessment and reporting.
