Cooling
Air Conditioning is really the only cooling option for the majority of Australian homes and offices. It is the only system that provides real climate control for your home. In addition to reducing the air temperature it reduces the humidity.
Evaporative cooling units are sometimes offered as an alternative to air conditioning. They reduce the temperature by increasing the humidity and only work in areas where humidity is normally very low. In very high humidity they don’t provide any cooling at all and may actually make it feel warmer. So for more than 90% of Australians who live on the coastal fringe or in the tropics Air Conditioning is the only way to cool your home.
