With summer's arrival, maintaining thermal comfort without raising energy consumption becomes a challenge in many homes and businesses. The good news is that it's possible to maintain pleasant environments and still save energy — just invest in intelligent air conditioning.

In this article, we share 4 practical recommendations to improve air conditioning efficiency during the hottest months.

1. Set the air conditioning to 24°C

Keeping the air conditioning between 23°C and 25°C is ideal for balancing comfort with savings. Each degree below 24°C can increase consumption by about 7%. Solutions like smart thermostats allow automatic temperature regulation, based on presence sensors, outside temperature or programmed schedules.

2. Take advantage of natural ventilation

Whenever possible, take advantage of natural air circulation — opening windows during cooler hours is a simple way to refresh the space without spending energy. In more closed buildings, systems like CMV (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation) help renew air, balance temperature and improve indoor air quality.

3. Keep filters clean

Dust accumulated in air conditioning system filters reduces efficiency, increases consumption and can affect air quality. Monthly filter cleaning — especially in environments with more dust or humidity — ensures better performance and extends equipment life. Systems like AHUs (Air Handling Units) facilitate this control.

4. Choose efficient equipment

Multisplit or VRF systems adapt to different zones of the house or business, optimizing consumption and avoiding waste. Additionally, they allow independent temperature control in each environment.
