Residential air conditioning is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Three billion new residential air conditioning units will be purchased and installed throughout the world by 2050. India and China will account for the majority of this global expansion. Using a novel desiccant material developed at MIT, Transaera is developing an ultra-efficient air conditioning system that will bring comfort to billions of people while reducing the impact on climate and grid infrastructure.
