Prospective Simulations of Brazilian Household Air Conditioning Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission

Brazil presents a flourishing market for environmental cooling due to its geographic position, increasing global warming and the growing income of its population. In this work three different types of household appliance are considered to meet the cooling environmental needs in the 2014-2026 time horizons. The main concern of the work was to show the different scenarios supplying these needs from a non-linear methodological perspective, which may indicate some possible undesirable paths.
