Efficiency measures are forecast to result in space cooling demand dropping by 15.1 exajoules per year between 2018 and 2050. However, increased standard of living due to economic growth in addition to the greater need for air conditioning and ventilation in a climate change burdened world will lead to a combined 26.5 exajoules per year in such energy demand.
