Singapore Government Offices Told to Rein in Air-Conditioning

Government facilities in Singapore will take steps to reduce electricity consumption to boost the nation’s energy resilience as the conflict in the Middle East tightens global energy supplies.

Immediate measures include setting the air-conditioner at 25C or higher, managing operating times for air-conditioning, lighting and lifts and unplugging or turning off non-essential equipment when not in use, the National Environment Agency said in a statement on Wednesday.
