Pledging for No Air Con Night

The local environmental awareness group Green Sense launched the 7th annual No Air Con Night from 7 p.m., 7 October to 7 a.m., 8 October 2016. This is a territory-wide energy saving event to disseminate the importance in reducing greenhouse gases and saving energy through the wise use of air conditioning. 43 Universities and Higher Education Institutes, 292 schools, over 200 companies and organizations and over 80 thousand families pledged to support the campaign in 2016.

PolyU has been a trustful partner to this meaningful event since 2010. Staff and students showed their strong support and switched off the unnecessary air conditioners at their home, student hostels and offices on the night of 7 October. Air-conditioners in all pantries, student lounges and 2/F lobby of Student Halls of Residence (Homantin) were turned off.
