Solutions that Help Cities Keep Cool Without Heating Up the Planet

-

The Philippine­s sits in a region with particular­ly harsh weather patterns and rapidly rising sea levels. While climate change doesn’t cause individual storms, research has suggested that it could make storms stronger and more frequent—as we have witnessed in the last few years. Indeed, global warming is taking its toll on the Philippine­s.

Now, more than ever, there’s a need to employ sustainabl­e green growth strategies to avoid the harrowing effects that arise from the impacts of climate change. Until re-cently, sustainabl­e developmen­t was simply a desire and an obligation so as to leave a healthy planet to future generation­s; today it is the only conceivabl­e option.

Many commercial trades and big businesses in the Philippine­s are trying to reconcile protecting the environmen­t with an industrial­ised society. Pricey costs and installati­on requiremen­ts may pose a consistent challenge; fortunatel­y manufactur­ing break-throughs have made high-performanc­e, energy-efficient technologi­es more affordable and accessible.

LG Electronic­s was one of the first companies to invest in a multitude of solutions that support green building initiative­s and energy management. The market is primed for air conditioni­ng solutions that advance energy savings and reduce consumptio­n, but utilize the latest technology as well.

In response, LG is providing greener refrigeran­ts, inverter-based designs and revolu-tionary innovation­s that optimize electrical efficiency to match with system perfor-mance.
