ABSTRACT: This paper will provide a proposed solution for saving energy consumption
due to residential air conditioners by reducing the window air conditioners
type which is the most consumed energy and has a big
percent of spreading inside KSA than the split type, also it will discuss some restrictions for trading and
manufacturing of air conditioner devices inside KSA besides some restrictions
on market and buildings to achieve the objective of reducing the consumption of
energy which become a big trend in kingdom vision 2030. The results of this
suggesting solution will help the decision-makers to start its plan for
execution as it has a big difference between using window type from 2022 till
2030 and if we stop its sales and replace by an efficient one of split AC type
in energy consumption in addition to CO2 emission reduction and
decreasing of energy cost, hence our kingdom can save petroleum raw materials
and keeping the environment to become clean from pollutants so that these
resources are delivered to successive generations correct and clean as we
received them from those before us.
