How Hong Kong Became a Giant Refrigerator
Here’s a statement-'Over the last 50 years, Hong Kong has become a giant refrigerator'. Despite its hot, humid, subtropical climate, the city remains an icicle all year round. But what do I mean by this?
Well, Hong Kong has a bizarre problem. It has developed an obsession with air-conditioners so extreme it no longer makes any sense-winter coats are needed during the sweltering summer, and ACs are blasted in the midst of winter.
Now, there are many countries around the world that use and abuse their air conditioners-Singapore, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the US, to name a few-but Hong Kong (the city I grew up in), takes all this to a whole new level. So this raises questions-why are there so many ACs? Why is the temperature set so low? And-strangest of all-why can‘t they just turn it off?
With Hong Kong, the answer is never simple...

@@mu3191The same people who criticise people for abusing the AC are also the same people who either crank their heaters to max aka 2000W+ during winter or have their fire place shoved full of wood pumping out a trail of black smoke from the chimney. They’d say that people who can’t tolerate heat are whimpy yet are the first to wear a puffy coat when it gets below 18 degrees C. It’s all the same, it’s just that some people are more tolerate to heat and some to could. I could personally sit in a air conditioned room with AC cranked to the lowest 16 degrees while in shorts, walk into cool room (4 degrees C) and adapt to it, but sweat buckets at 22+ degrees.

[@icehawk3442]

The last point about going back to constructing buildings better at cooling is so underrated. When I was living on-campus in NUS in Singapore, my room was in a 26-storey industrial-themed skyscraper. The entire design was meant to be used with AC, yet for cost reasons they had rooms on lower floors without AC installed. It was an absolute nightmare as the whole apartment design was designed for no natural convection/ventilation, with the architects assuming that it would only be sensible to AC the whole massive skyscraper but the administration then preventing AC from being there. From previous experience, living without AC can be acceptable even in the tropics; in contrast, designing living spaces that make living without AC unviable is the true big culprit.

The dehumidifier uses almost as much power as an aircon, with only a fraction of the main thing people want. Yes when its 28c and 85% humidity, having it become 50% humidity is nice, but most people would rather pay the extra 20% in power to get the temp down to 22c

A good AC can make a lot of difference in summer. But you need to mind the thermal shock making it more likely for you to get sick. Plus, if you substitute extreme heat for extreme cold, you are solving a problem by creating another problem and wasting resources while doing so, which is arguably worse.

[@mcwatcher7790]

. I've personally never heard that AC=healthy as a person living in Hong Kong, but rather air circulation=healthy. That means country parks with air circulation also means healthy, which people flooded to during the pandemic cuz they have no where to go to spend their free time. It feels better in a place with air circulation than a place with fully enclosed windows and dead air flow. It doesn't matter whether the circulation comes from the AC or not, opening windows and turning on fans also means air circulation, not just specific to air conditioner. but the problem is everyone turns on AC, so if you open window hot air will come into your apartment (or as a result of horrible building designs and urban planning that make air circulation really bad in the city), and lets just say fans don't cool you in any way when they blow warm and humid air into your face.

[@johnjohnson6090]

As a Gweilo living in Hong Kong, I would like to add a few points: 1. No need for AC in Winter. Winters are less humid in Hong Kong than in Paris, and temperatures hardly ever exceed 15 degrees centigrade. Every year in December I have an argument with my colleagues to switch off the AC for the remainder of the Winter so we don't have to wear jackets and coats... in the office. 2. Hong Kong, as a city, is horrendously badly designed, trapping the heat inside the city 3. Hong Kongers are cheap; they buy the cheapest, lowest quality crap, which consumes more electricity. They will never buy expensive energy-efficient AC units. 4. Cheap electricity. Nobody cares about keeping the AC on all day long, as electricity is dirt cheap. 5. And for fuck's sake, fix your AC units that constantly drip on the sidewalk, dammit! It's supposed to be forbidden by law, but law enforcement in this city is non-existent. Luckily Hong Kongers are placid.

I'm from Singapore & my junior college (high school) did A/C every classroom, but my primary & secondary school only A/C-ed the computer labs, offices & music rooms, though around the time I graduated from my secondary school, they added window-mounted A/Cs to classrooms facing a construction site (which was building a new sports hall in our campus) so that we could keep the classrooms' windows closed to block out construction noise

[@anonymousanonymous6424]

I hate AC abusers(they emit useless CO2 emissions). Why people don't try dehumidifiers or adapt their body with heat? People should use AC only when needed. Indian Government put limit on AC manufacturers that they can't sell ACs capable of lowering temperature below 25C(ideal room temperature is 25C). I live in Ahmedabad, India which is situated at Tropic of Cancer and I have absolutely no problem with dry heat(low moisture) even at 40-42C(104-108F). Only humidity along with heat is issue for me after rainy season. I can live in dry heat at home studying(and other non physical activities) without fan/AC after removing my t-shirt. After coming home doing a physical activity, I need fan and take a bath. People regularly bath 2-3 times a day in my city. Houses can be made more cooler by using modern construction techniques and using some cheap hacks like covering windows during hottest parts of days(usually noon-afternoon). PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE HORRIBLE.

As someone who’s lived in HK for a certain amount of time, I’ve never actually heard any Hong Kong residents saying that AC is healthy. In fact, most people I know speak the exact opposite, they say that AC is bad for health because it stops people from sweating, thereby preventing the body from naturally removing toxins. To my knowledge, they don’t really like the AC either, but since HK is so damn hot and humid during spring, summer and autumn (in autumn it’s just hot, not humid), turning on the AC seems to be the only way to stay sane. I might also add that the consensus, at least from what’s I’ve gathered amongst people I know, is that the energy efficient AC models are “not cold at all”. Perhaps they just came across some that are poorly made. I don’t know.

[@johnclayton4946]

Another vicious cycle is the diminishing ability to acclimatize to the heat. 1) Turn on AC 2) Body gets used to being in a cool environment 3) When outside, the same temperature feels a lot hotter (reduced tolerance to heat) 4) Avoid the heat as much as possible (go indoors with AC) 5) Repeat step 1 to 4

[@danagibbs3265]

I wonder if they could all collectively start raising the temps on their ACs slowly over time and get used to the heat again. It would take most of Hong Kong working together to do that though, because if just a few people did it, it would get wicked hot in their buildings due to the rest of the ACs still producing so much heat.
