(8.5 CEUs) Refrigerated air-conditioning is the most expensive way to create summer comfort. Low-energy cooling minimizes energy-intensive refrigerated air-conditioning by reducing solar gain, air leakage, and relative humidity. When we reduce heat gains, air leakage, and internal gains, we can use air circulation and nighttime cooling to reduce air-conditioning costs or to eliminate the need for air conditioning in mild climates.
