Products Using >50% of Global Electricity (2030) Room Air Conditioners Can improve efficiency by 30% Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Can improve efficiency 40 - 60% Electric Motor Systems* Can improve efficiency 20 - 30% Residential Refrigerators Can improve efficiency by 60% Distribution Transformers Can improve efficiency by 30% Sources: International Energy Agency; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; UN Environment Method: Approximate savings in 2030 in emerging & developing economies if today’s best available technologies are adopted *Electric motors systems use over half of global electricity, some of which is accounted for in ACs and Refrigerators

Household Refrigerators Background Most popular household appliance (typically refrigerator-freezer model) Stock in developing / emerging economies doubles to almost 2 billion by 2030 Energy and environmental impact 10% of household energy consumption Outdated units use 3X more electricity (>700 kWh/year) vs. best ones (< 250 kWh / year) Some refrigerants have GWP well over 1000X more potent than CO2 Some refrigerants damage the ozone layer

Refrigerators Should be Energy-Efficient and Climate-Friendly

Room Air Conditioners Background Global stock increasing from 660 million units today to 1.5+ billion by 2030 Energy and Environmental Impact 20% of household energy consumption in warm climates Peak load in summer can strain electricity grids Some refrigerants’ GWP is well over 1000X more potent than CO2 Source: Green Cooling Initiative, 2016
