Communities that lack the luxury of an air conditioning unit<\/p>\n
\u201cIn San Diego, 10.8 percent of homes sold in the past year had central air conditioning.\u201d In Revised Problem Statement<\/p>\n
https:\/\/www.10news.com\/news\/making-it-in-san-diego\/buyers-renters-willing-to-pay-more-for-homes-with-air-conditioning<\/p>\n
neighborhoods have been dubbed \u201curban heat islands,\u201d where, according to NOAA research, temperatures can reach up to 20 degrees hotter than in more affluent coastal communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more people die from extreme heat every year,\u201d said Heidi Vonblum, deputy director of the city\u2019s planning department, who oversaw the data collection effort. \u201cThere is definitely an urgency to address this now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relative humidity levels<\/p>\n
For optimal cooling effects, a swamp cooler will work best in the hottest time of the day and when humidity levels are below 50% (the lower the humidity, the better).<\/p>\n

Materials<\/p>\n
Evaporative coolers make it easy to include filters to make cleaner air<\/p>\n
Swamp vac\u2019s or evaporative coolers are most effective in low humidity areas<\/p>\n
Removing heat – Jabi<\/p>\n
Evaporative Cooling <\/p>\n
The air conditioner in a central heating and cooling system provides cool air through ductwork inside your home, by providing a process that draws out the warm air inside, removing its heat. <\/p>\n

Constraints: <\/p>\n
In a window<\/p>\n
Able to be lifted by one person (~80 lb max?)<\/p>\n
Requires no mounts or external wiring (standalone)<\/p>\n
Innovative Ideas: <\/p>\n
Fan Only Mode<\/p>\n
Temp. controlled (incorporated temp sensor to determine whether or not it should power fan)<\/p>\n
Wall charging<\/p>\n
Mechanical charging<\/p>\n
What they really need\u2026<\/p>\n
An evaporative cooling fan that lowers temperature in a room<\/p>\n
