Night air conditioning use in a Bangkok condo high-rise. This graphical history represents moderation in air conditioning use over 12 days in August 2016 with a monthly electric bill of about fifty dollars US. Other units in the same building use ten times as much air conditioning. Why?
Temperature data are inside (blue) and outside (red) I turn the air conditioner on near or after midnight for a few hours when we are home and the bedroom temp is 28 or more. Set point is 24 deg C (75 deg F). Turn it off 3 or 4 am. This is what the thrifty Thai do.
Other thermophobic expats in Thailand prefer aircon 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
