The Straits Times writes about presentations at the GHHIN Southeast Asia Heat Health Forum. The four-day event gathered experts to explore solutions for protecting people from extreme heat due to rising temperatures. CBE’s Stefano Schiavon presented the results of a study of a hybrid cooling strategy with fans and air conditioning. Office occupants experienced two conditions: 79°F (26.5°C) with ceiling fans and air conditioning, and also at 75°F (24°C) with only air conditioning. The study found similar comfort levels in both settings, with the fan-plus-AC method reducing energy use by 30%.
