Air Conditioner
- Choose energy efficient air conditioners. Air conditioners with "Grade 1" energy label are the most energy efficient, and can save up to 40% of annual electricity consumption compared with "Grade 3" air conditioners.
- Set and maintain air-conditioned room temperature between 24oc and 26oc or above in summer.
- Use natural ventilation or electric fans instead of air conditioners as far as possible.
- Consider using an electric fan in conjunction with an air conditioner to spread cooled air more evenly.
- Clean dust filters of air conditioners regularly.
- Remove obstructions from air vents of air conditioners.
- Keep windows and doors closed when an air conditioner is turned on, and use curtains or blinds to shade against sunlight.
- Turn off air conditioners that are not in use.
- Switch off lighting and heat-producing appliances that are not in use to reduce air-conditioning load.
- Avoid direct sunshine on the outdoor heat exchanger unit of an air conditioner.
