- News 2 August 2018 Planning to buy an air conditioner for the sweaty summer days? By Xianli Zhu, Senior Economist, Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency Summer in Scandinavian countries is typically sunny, yet brief and refreshing (some may say a little too brief and refreshing), with day temperatures rarely exceeding 25°C and night temperatures often below 10°C. It is almost like living in an air-conditioned room under the blue sky, surrounded by sea and nature. There is usually no need for air conditioning; an electric fan is occasionally useful and sufficient, and even…
