IT IS somewhat ironical that hot and sunny Singapore tends to be freezing cold in most indoor spaces.
Walk into any shopping mall, office building, school, theatre or shop and chances are it is uncomfortably cold - enough to make one wish for a jacket.
Drive around in any taxi or take a bus, and one has to often remind the driver to turn down the air-conditioning. On the buses, drivers usually shrug their shoulders to indicate they are helpless to comply with such requests.
We all know how important it is to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions. Turning down the air-conditioning is not something that we need to request. It should be the norm. What we are doing instead is acclimatising the population to an artificially cold indoor climate.
If we as a nation, turned down the temperature settings by one to two deg C, what a huge difference it would make, not only cost-wise for businesses, but also in terms of reducing global warming.
