Calling for a wise use of air con

In its 8^th year, Green Sense launched the ‘No Air Con Night’ campaign to promote the wise use of air-conditioning. Since 2010, ‘No Air Con Night’ was a resounding success with the generous support from citizens, business community, education institutes and political parties. Noting that we all have the responsibility to consider how our daily habits may affect the environment, PolyU continued to support this campaign and encouraged students and staff members to participate. The University invited the campus community to be part of this activity and switch off their air conditioners for 12 hours from 7 p.m., 29 September to 7 a.m., 30 September 2017 at homes, student hostels and turn off unnecessary ones in office areas. The action of switching off air con translates into an understanding of the importance in reducing greenhouse gases and saving energy. More information can be read from their website.
