Abstract
This Paper presents general correlations to estimate the power demand of different conventional air conditioning (A/C) systems operating under varied climatological conditions. The results have been applied to estimate the peak power demand and annual energy consumption. As a case study, the analysis is applied to Kuwaiti buildings for quantitative assessments using a unit peak cooling load (1 kW c). Contrary to general understanding and practice the results strongly favour the use of water-cooled systems for both the residential and the non-residential types of buildings.
