Deep Seawater Cooling and Desalination: Combining Seawater Air Conditioning and Desalination [PDF]

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2021
In tropical climates, the energy consumed by heating, ventilation and air conditioning can exceed 50% of the total energy consumption of a building. The demand for cooling is rising steadily, driven by global warming and rapidly increasing living standards in developing economies. In addition, there is a rise in water demand due to population increase,
