Sleep well: most BKK condo aircons way too big, run small % time with temp=25, add rather than subtract humidity. My neighbor gets lower RH temp= 22 deg, aircon runs near 100%, cuts RH from 75 to 65%, but still a little too high. Big electric bill for this.
Are Bangkok and other tropical cities on a path to heat doom? New Netatmo-acquired data from the front lines of global warming, and new ideas on how to live with it -- even without air conditioning.

Inverter Outperforms Old More Powerful Aircon
Answer to question re power use and effectiveness of inverter v overpowered older aircon split units. On this warm cloudy Bangkok afternoon my new Mitusbishi uses about the same power as the old Trane with three times the power rating, but delivers dry air. The Trane begins to cycle on and off when it reaches the set temperature. In the intervening periods with fan but no compressor the Trane blows moisture back out of the concealed wall unit into the room raising the humidity in the room to higher than outside. It is also much more noisy.
