Not exact matches

Second, a cooler house requires less air conditioning — and hence results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

McCarthy said the administration will build upon vehicle fuel emissions rules, regulations to reduce hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from refrigeration and air conditioning units, and future proposals to cut methane emissions from oil and gas production, as well as EPA's proposal to cut carbon emissions from the power sector.

Auto start / stop: Various sensor inputs from around the vehicle (speed sensors, steering angle, air conditioning on / off, engine temperature) are collated via the CAN bus to determine whether the engine can be shut down when stationary for improved fuel economy and emissions.

Re 346 ziarra — the flow of heat (between adjacent layers of material via conduction, convection, or mass diffusion, or potentially across larger distances via emission and absorption of photons) will be from hot to cold (or from higher to lower concentrations of a substance carrying heat, which might end up being from cold to hot in some conditions, such as a wet surface cooling by evaporation into warm dry air).
