“The same must be thought about when we rethink how we design buildings, and how we want to operate them.” “When you increase the air temperature, you want to also increase air velocity to maintain the same level of comfort,” says Mr Bertrand Lasternas, an associate director of energy management at NUS SDE.

Think about the days before air con was invented 🤣
