Abstract: A method of calculating carbon credit based on personal carbon emission is provided for a user activating a portable device to execute, upon passing through each predetermined node of a predetermined route, a traveling means data and a travel distance toward a next predetermined node, in order to calculate a segmental personal carbon emission amount. When reaching the last predetermined node, the portable device adds up all of the segmental personal carbon emission amounts to obtain a one-trip personal carbon emission amount. The portable device subjects the one-trip personal carbon emission amounts corresponding to an average carbon emission amount to averaging with the one-trip personal carbon emission amount of this round to update as a new average carbon emission amount. The new average carbon emission amount so updated serves as a calculation basis of carbon credit for the next round of taking the predetermined route.

Abstract: A fast cooling system for a car includes an active or passive energy storage device, a temperature mixer and a control module. The energy storage device is located in the temperature mixer. The control module compares the temperatures of the energy storage device and an evaporator in the temperature mixer and the temperature in the car. Based on the result of the comparison, the control module controls the path of air that travels through the temperature mixer to guide the air flow to travel past the evaporator and/or the energy storage device. The air gets cool when it travels past the energy storage device in the form of a cold storage device. The cool air enters the car and rapidly reduces the temperature in the car.
