Abstract

In hot and humid Malaysia, air conditioning and lighting
account for a significant chunk of electricity bills. Air conditioners have become a fixture at many homes and lights are turned on even when the sun is shining bright outside. Yet, just a few decades ago, this was not the case. What happened, and how can we reverse this hunger for power that does not augur well for a nation and world striving to be carbon neutral.
