It is very selfish, wasteful & almost "silly" to run an air con for hours on end when you are not in the room.
The "silly" comes from overnight temps are often below the Air Con cooling temp. Depending upon your room open windows & fan cooling can be alot more efficient and healthier.
We have in our suites fan colling and opening windows louvres. Air Con set at 23 Deg temp outside overnight 13-15 Deg (??)
A closed room 24/7 with a cooler going will build up alot of moisture and mould over time.
Have you ever looked at an air con filter ?
Establishment operating costs cleaning & power are incorporated in the room rates. If costs increase so do the rates. :-))
