A central, practical pillar of the Eco Club’s strategy focused on optimizing air conditioning usage across
classrooms, administrative blocks, and homes:
● Core Objective: Significantly lower power consumption and peak electrical demand by adjusting
default thermostat settings upwards by 2°C (e.g., from 22°C to 24°C).
● Financial & Energy Impact: Raising the AC setting by just 2°C reduces cooling energy consumption
by up to 12-15%, leading to substantial reductions in electricity bills while maintaining occupant
comfort.
● Actionable Outreach: Students displayed visual charts depicting individual carbon footprints to
show how small daily thermostat tweaks directly lower atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions.
