Another but important aspect would be to promote natural cooling and ventilation since mechanical cooling is returning more heat from its appliances to the outdoor. Making cooling equipment more efficient would also lessen the heat going into environment. Improving our building envelope towards less heat transfer between inside and outdoor is also one of the good strategy to counter the dependance of mechanical cooling equipment [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14502018686588984.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14502031692050526.jpg
