What do you think about conditioning the outdoor air? Is it impossible? Is it useless? Is there any research about it?
What do you think about conditioning the outdoor air?

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of conditioning outdoor air and whether it is feasible or useful. It is suggested that conditioning all of the outdoor air is not practical and that heat is typically removed from the inside air and rejected to the outside air.

Which air? You mean, like... all of it? That's a little crazy.

Outdoor air brought into a building is, of course, conditioned...but that seems too obvious...

Just to be clear, are you suggesting using something like an air conditioner to cool down all of the air in the atmosphere?

If you remove the heat from the outside air, where do you expect it will go?masihsamara said:
Usually, with an AC or a refrigerator, you take the heat from the inside air and reject it to the outside air.

1. What is conditioning the outdoor air?
Conditioning the outdoor air refers to the process of modifying the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness of the air outside, typically for the purpose of creating a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
2. Why is conditioning the outdoor air important?
Conditioning the outdoor air is important because it can significantly impact the quality of air inside buildings, which can have a direct effect on the health and comfort of occupants. It also plays a crucial role in energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of buildings.
3. How does conditioning the outdoor air work?
The process of conditioning outdoor air typically involves using mechanical systems such as air conditioners, heat pumps, and ventilation systems. These systems use various techniques to adjust the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the outdoor air before it is brought inside.
4. What are the benefits of conditioning the outdoor air?
There are several benefits to conditioning the outdoor air, including improved indoor air quality, increased comfort for occupants, and energy efficiency. It can also help reduce the risk of health issues such as respiratory problems and allergies.
5. Are there any drawbacks to conditioning the outdoor air?
While conditioning the outdoor air has many benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. These may include increased energy usage and cost, as well as potential noise and maintenance concerns with the mechanical systems used for conditioning.
