1. EXPLORING ALTERNATE WAYS OF COOLING SPACES

2. Addressing Current Issues:  Rising electric consumption  Suffering Environment  Need for more Action & Awareness

3. Did you know?  30% of our electrical consumption comes from A/C alone.  72% of all households in Singapore own at least one A/C unit. Imagine the amount of energy savings we can gain by cutting down our A/C consumption!

4. Analyzing the Problem: Starting with existing products in the market,

5. The Existing Products: KUCHOFUKU AIR- CONDITIONED JACKET Features  Two fans to pump fresh air around the wearer  Air exits through sleeves and neck  Moisture can also pass through the jacket.

6. The Existing Products: KUCHOFUKU AIR- CONDITIONED BED Features  A mattress fan  Draws air and body heat away from the user and towards the end of the bed.

7. The Existing Products: BED FAN Features  Quiet and discrete dual fans.  Handheld control to adjust fan speeds  Easy to install and inconspicuous

8. Drawbacks of the products  Fan mechanisms  Ineffective in Singapore’s hot and humid weather.  Expensive.

9. The Concept: Localising cooled area Increasing Efficiency Create Social Awareness

10. Localising the area cooled: Fact:  A/C: Highest power consumption rate amongst household appliances Thought process:  Reduce the area cooled  Lessen the A/C workload Strategy:  Done using partitions

11. Increasing Efficiency: Fact:  Effective cooling depends on external conditions. Thought process:  Monitoring weather forecast Strategy:  Add-on sensors to monitor the external weather conditions  A/C has self-regulating features to adjust temperature settings accordingly

12. Creating Social Awareness: Fact:  Lack of awareness and proactiveness Thought process:  Encourage these values  Monitor electricity consumption regularly Strategy:  Phone apps  Online community sharing platform

13. Conclusion Integrating these solutions together, we could revolutionize the way we keep ourselves cool in a more proactive manner!
