Dear EarthTalk: With summer bearing down on us, are there any environmentally friendly air conditioners out there? However, the good news is that there are several environmentally friendly air conditioning options available today. Unlike conventional air conditioners, which use refrigerants and compressors to cool the air, evaporative coolers work by passing air over water-soaked pads, causing evaporation and cooling the air. Finally, it is essential to consider sustainable design and proper maintenance practices when using air conditioners. Optimizing insulation, reducing air leaks, and shading windows can help reduce the load on air conditioning systems.
