As climate change intensifies, cities worldwide are facing more frequent and severe heat waves, increasing the demand for cooling solutions. Europe, particularly affected by rising temperatures, witnessed extreme heat in the summer of 2026, with temperatures exceeding 40°C in several countries. Despite the growing need, air conditioning use in Europe remains low, with only about 20% of households owning units. This situation highlights the urgency for efficient cooling solutions that do not overburden electricity grids or deplete resources. The adoption of individual air conditioning systems could strain electricity networks and require more investment in infrastructure, as seen by the near doubling of household energy consumption for cooling in the EU between 2018 and 2024. In contrast, Gulf cities, accustomed to high temperatures, have developed large-scale district cooling systems. These systems produce chilled water at central plants and distribute it through insulated networks to multiple buildings, offering a more efficient and sustainable cooling method. District cooling can save up to 50% in electricity compared to traditional systems, using about 0.9 to 1 kilowatt of electricity per ton of refrigeration.
