# Eco-Friendly Air Coolers The Symphony Cloud Air Cooler is Far More Efficient Than AC Units By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-05 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-cooler References: [homecrux](http://www.homecrux.com/2016/05/05/45450/symphony-cloud-wall-mounted-air-cooler-resembles-a-split-ac.html) & [symphony-at](http://www.symphony-at.com/cloud/) Air conditioners are a necessity for many people around the world in warm climates, but the Symphony Cloud Air Cooler looks to take a different, more economical approach to home cooling. Rather than featuring an exhaust and an air conditioning design, the unit works by incorporating a water reservoir into the design and using this to cool the air. When compared to traditional air conditioners, the unit features an energy rating that's ten times lower than a conventional AC. This means less electricity used and thus less emissions into the environment. The Symphony Cloud Air Cooler is wall-mounted, which means it takes up virtually no floor space and looks like a regular AC unit when installed on the wall. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Home Appliances:** There is an opportunity for companies to create eco-friendly appliances that perform well while reducing their environmental impact. - **Water-based Cooling Technology:** There is an opportunity for companies to create innovative cooling technology that utilizes water instead of harmful refrigerants. - **Energy-efficient Home Cooling:** There is an opportunity for companies to create energy-efficient cooling solutions that rival and surpass traditional AC units. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliance Industry:** Companies within the home appliance industry can drive disruptive innovation by creating eco-friendly products that are just as effective as traditional ones. - **Cooling Technology Industry:** Companies within the cooling technology industry can create innovative water-based cooling solutions that have less environmental impact than traditional refrigerants. - **Sustainable Energy Industry:** Companies within the sustainable energy industry can explore and invest in energy-efficient home cooling solutions that have lower carbon emissions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Conscious Window AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfyair-window-air-conditioner.md) - [Consummately Compact Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-air-conditioner.md) - [Powerful Portable Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave.md) - [Space-Conscious Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfyair.md) - [Chilled Water-Powered AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soleus-air.md) - [Sleek Aesthetic Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mijia-air-conditioner.md) - [Freestanding Portable AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave-3.md) - [Advanced Air Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-conditioning-system.md) - [Hive-Like Terracotta Cooling Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beehive-cooling-installation.md)
