This causes urban heat island effect, which describes how the dark, metal and asphalt materials of a city absorbs and trap warmth from the sun. Thus it contributes significantly in developed countries such as Singapore. ]]> 2019-05-07 07:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/limxiangting/kyuf6waemd9h/wish/357506178 It’s not cool to be cool 🥶🤒❄️☃️☀️🥵 https://padlet.com/limxiangting/kyuf6waemd9h/wish/357506918 By 2040, air conditioning will account for 40% of ASEAN’s overall electricity demand, up from 25% now. The rapid rise in recent years has led to a surge in CO2 emissions and pollutants that may severely damage the environment.

Current cooling systems are inefficient In their usage of energy. ]]> 2019-05-07 07:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/limxiangting/kyuf6waemd9h/wish/357506918 Greenhouse gas emission from vehicles 🚗🦅 https://padlet.com/limxiangting/kyuf6waemd9h/wish/357507052 Greenhouse gas emission have been increasing rapidly in Singapore every year due to the increase in the numbers of vehicles on the road and there is no signs of it slowing down...
