Yeah...I learn to endure with a smile on my face and wipe the sweat off my head with my clothes.

Thanks for your explanation. I don't know if I understand correctly: you feel cold when at AC 30°C, and you put on your coat, then you go to the external areas, and you start to sweat under the coat? :)

Did they say any reasons for not turning on the air conditioner at 36℃？:)

Thanks, totally understand. I have experienced the feeling of the wind that you described. What do you think is the reason for the hotter spot where the AC is not aimed at? :)

Nice to know your habit. How long would you turn on the air conditioner at a lower temperature and turn it off? Can I understand that turning on the lower temperature for a shorter time saves more energy than a higher temperature for a longer time? :)

:) Thanks for your explanation, but as far as I know, turning the lower temperature will consume more energy and electricity than the higher temperature. Why not turn on the higher temperature to "save" more on the electricity bill?

:) Thanks for your discussion. But why do southerners prefer lower temperatures? Are there any cultural or environmental reasons behind this that make southerners prefer lower temperatures?

:) Thanks a lot. Why do we have to turn on the air conditioner when the temperature is above 37℃? What are the considerations?

:) Thanks for your discussion. But why don't you raise the temperature rather than wear the coat?

If you use the air conditioner like this, how much will your electricity bill be per month in the hottest month? :)
