    Welcome to the Comfort Challenge!

  • It’s the coldest winter ever. You’ve just arrived at the office – chaos has broken out! Colleagues are fighting over the AC, trying to perfect the temperature.

    But hope is not lost. A group of scientists is on a mission to create a solution that keeps everyone comfortable while saving energy and money.

    Join them to save workplaces. Bring long-awaited comfort to all. Cut workplace costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

  • With limited context information, it’s best to change settings moderately. If we assume people feel a bit cold, you may either increase by 1 °C the temperature or reduce ventilation provided CO2 indoor levels remain within healthy limits. Every decision has a consequence in terms of comfort, energy consumption, and equivalent greenhouse gas emissions!

  • We often get this question. Imagine going out from home and driving at 40 km/h till you reach your destination without ever stopping or changing speed. Does it sound realistic to you?

    Buildings are dynamic, so changing settings for optimal conditions should be the default. The problem is that it is not easy to do!

  • The compressor is responsible for most of the energy consumption. Hence, changing temperature settings consumes more than ventilation settings (fan). Each degree changes energy consumption between 2% and 15% depending on indoor and outdoor conditions.

    Fun fact: An AC in the "off" state consumes similar power like charging between 1 to 10 smartphones 24/7.

  • ACs consume a lot of power, typically 30% to 50% of the power consumed by a building. 

    ACs are the main contributor to the scope 2 emissions in buildings. This does not count emissions from their manufacturing or refrigerants.

  • You are part of the great majority. Typically, 40% to 80% of people suffer discomfort daily in commercial shared spaces!

  • The correct answer is yes to all scenarios. In each case, metabolic rates or perception change, so we can assume that an individual's comfort level will also change.

  • Awesome job!!

    Your story shall become a powerful reminder that optimal comfort can minimise energy consumption and emissions of buildings.

    Stay tuned, you may get a price.

  • Thank you. We hope you learnt something new today!
