INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF AIR CONDITIONING VERSUS OPEN WINDOWS IN TERMS OF FUEL ENERGY USAGE OF AUTOMOBILES

This experiment was settled in order to see if there are available solutions for extra usage of energy while we are using the automobiles. The mechanism of the experiment is based on the movement of air and the automobile. In this extended essay, I have settled two different hypotheses which mainly state that using air conditioning instead of opening windows will help us save some energy. The experiment is made by choosing a constant route for the automobile to travel, where some trials will be made by opening windows for different values, and some will be made by using air conditioning only. After recording these data, appropriate graphs will be sketched to see the relation between the gap of the window to the fuel usage. Conclusion will be made taking scientific data into consideration, resulting with social results, such as global warming
