The most optimum interior temperature is 25 degrees
C ~ 28 degrees C. It is economic and desirable for
your health to keep the temperature difference below
5 degrees C between the interior and exterior. Each
degree Celsius that the temperature set point raised
represents an energy saving of at least 10%.

Use an interior fan in conjunction with your
window air conditioner to spread the cooled
air more effectively through your home without
greatly increasing your power use. |
Switch on aircon units 30 minutes after the start of office
hours, switching it off 30 minutes before closing of office hours. |
Check and replenish refrigerant levels as needed. |
Put off the exhaust fans while the aircon units
are in operation. |
To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows,
doors and any other opening closed. |
Install window-type air-conditioners at the highest
accessible place. |
Do not block the air intake and outlet of the unit. If they
are obstructed, the unit will not work well, and may be damaged. |
Do not let direct sunlight into the room.
Use sunshades, blinds or curtains. If the walls and ceiling of the room are
warmed by the sun, it will take longer to cool
the room. |
Do not Install an under size aircon.
Ensure that the aircon unit is properly
sized for your home. Operating a unit, which
is either too large or too small, is highly
inefficient. It is also more energy efficient to install
a split unit if you are cooling more than one room. |
Do not place lamps or TV sets near
your air-conditioning thermostat. The
thermostat senses heat from these appliances,
which can cause the air conditioner to run longer
than necessary.
