In the Rocky Mountain Institute report, Solving the Global Cooling Challenge: How to Counter the Climate Threat from Room Air Conditioners, the analysis suggests that ‘rapid scaling and adoption of a residential cooling solution that has five times less climate impact (a 5X solution) would prevent up to 100 gigatons of CO2-equivalent emissions by 2050 and help mitigate up to 0.5°C in global warming by the end of the century.’

Change your HVAC filters every month.
Dirty filters are not good for your HVAC systems as they restrict airflow and reduce efficiency, as well as reducing air quality and increase the likelihood of maintenance being required.

Work with an HVAC contractor that pays attention to sustainability
Getting an HVAC contractor into your business is a good idea, as their knowledge and skills will come in handy for efficiency and longevity. When looking for a contractor, probe them about sustainability and see who knows the most.
