Temperate: The startups building tech that beams heat into space and aims to disrupt the trillion-dollar cooling market
Air conditioning consumes 10% of the world's electricity, a figure set to double by 2050. Is there a better way?
I got the chance to speak with Charlie, founder of Temperate, a UK startup that has developed a revolutionary cooling technology up to 20 times more efficient than standard AC. Their system uses no refrigerants and works by converting heat into light and beaming it directly into space.
