The demand for space cooling in the EU is projected to surge by 72% by 2030, necessitating sustainable cooling solutions. While energy efficiency policies have traditionally focused on space heating due to its significant energy consumption, it's crucial to also address space cooling. Policies should offer information and incentives to guide households, companies, and public organisations towards optimal cooling solutions beyond just air conditioning.

Jean-Sébastien Broc, senior expert at the Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy, responds to REVOLVE questions in this insightful interview.
