To feel cooler on a hot day, set the air-conditioner at a higher temperature than you intended and also turn on the fan – doing this conserves energy, too.
The “hybrid cooling” solution was piloted at an office space in the Zero Energy Plus Building at the BCA Academy in Singapore.
Over 11 weeks, the office occupants were exposed to two indoor conditions – the office cooled to 26.5 deg C with ceiling fans running, and the space cooled to 24 deg C.
