Singapore Raises Air-Con Temperatures in Public Spaces Amid Energy Crisis
Energy Saving Measures Implemented
The Singapore government has announced measures to reduce electricity consumption in public facilities to enhance the nation's energy resilience, as global energy supplies tighten due to the Middle East conflict. Immediate steps include setting air-conditioner temperatures at 25 degrees Celsius or higher. This is a key strategy for energy conservation.
Promoting Efficient Power Usage
According to the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment (MSE), in addition to air-conditioning, further electricity saving efforts will involve managing operating times for lighting and lifts, and unplugging or turning off non-essential equipment when not in use. These multifaceted measures are expected to contribute to strengthening Singapore's energy resilience.
