SECTION 1INTRODUCTION

Introduction• This research addresses the investigation on the

transition of the engine powered air-conditioning to the solar powered air-conditioning in a bus.

• The main motivation for using the notion of transition is that while it link to the concept of sustainable development, it has a better chances of advantages that it shift the attention from a vague end goal to stimulating transition processes as a more concrete step.

• According to Mill (1831), the first of the leading ‘peculiarities of the present age is, that is an age of transition’.

Problem Statement • According to Ameen, the first attempt to produce

artificial cooling was made in 1755 when Cullen built an apparatus to make ice artificially by vaporization of water at reduced pressure.

• The air conditioning system in the vehicle used many of the fossil fuel to operate.

• According to Johnson (2002), the amount of fuel used for air conditioning is significant. In absolute terms, 7.1 billion gallons of gasoline (27 billion liters) are used in the US for air conditioning light duty vehicles.

• Need some transition to enhance the usage and minimize the side effect to the environment.
