Carbon footprint of annual air-conditioner leaks

Notes

It is possible that the annual leakage rate may vary depending on how the air conditioner is used, but this is not clearly stated in either the AFCE report or the scientific literature.

How is this figure calculated?

  • Quantité * empreinte fluide
  • Avec:
    • Quantité:
      • Charge moyenne * taux de fuites annuelles
    • Taux de fuites annuelles:
      • 2%
