    EFFECT OF OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ON ENERGY

    CONSUMPTION OF AC UNITS

    The estimate regarding the relationship between outdoor temperature and air conditioning
    energy consumption is commonly cited in the field of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air
    Conditioning) engineering and energy efficiency literature. While specific studies may vary,
    a widely referenced figure suggests that for every degree increase in outdoor temperature,
    the energy consumption of air conditioning units typically increases by around 3-5%. This
    estimation is commonly found in educational materials provided by reputable organizations
    such as ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers)
    and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program.

    This estimate is based on industry knowledge and research into the performance of HVAC
    systems under varying environmental conditions. While specific studies may provide more
    nuanced insights, the 3-5% increase in energy consumption per degree rise in outdoor
    temperature serves as a general guideline for understanding the impact of ambient
    conditions on air conditioning energy usage.
