@lupyuen Having the norm to air-condition everything is not going to help Singapore to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, unfortunately. It’s rather the opposite considering the amount of energy that takes.

@smlx4 Singapore the "Air-Conditioned Nation" 😂

@lupyuen I read somewhere, think it may have been in straits Times, that because it is an island state & the large number of tall buildings in a small area & when it blows from the sea, the wind gets stuck between the buildings which causes the increase of heat as the air becomes stagnant. It also increases the need for air conditioning in the already humid tropical climate.
