I cannot use aircon anymore because its very expensive and i need to save money.. so am using fan and opened

Question

my windows fully.. is it ok? how your all cooling yourself from the humid place of singapore?

Answer 1

I use air con in desperation, but I still try to turn it off  as soon as the room cools.

  Another really good way to get cool is to douse yourself with water. (eg. take a shower), and then sit by a fan. After you warm up again, take another shower. Also, if you can get on the roof and spray a layer of water over the room you are living in, that helps too. Something about the law of thermodynamices that evaporating water cools things down even more than the temperature it is at the moment, (the theory of Air con to begin with.)

Answer 2

we don't use a/c either because it is expensive.  We have quite a few fans though and sometimes manage with just one on if it is windy, but for still days, we'll have about 3 going in the room which makes it quite cool in there.

I think if you don't use a/c very much you get used to the heat much quicker, so you benefit in two ways really (expense and acclimatising)

Answer 3

Same here.Fan & open windows.I have more cold showers,consume more cold drinks,juices,fruits & desserts.

Answer 4

I use fan and open windows too..

don't use aircon as it's a waste of electricity..

Answer 5
