The details are listed in the following:

“No Air Con Night” is a territory-wide energy saving campaign started in 2010 to promote the wise use of air conditioning held by Green Sense. We aim to bring out the importance in reducing greenhouse gases emission and saving energy through this event.

In the post COVID era, we resume face-to-face environmental education activities in schools and more activities for the public are coming.

The purpose of the school seminars is to raise the understanding of the climate change and extreme weather, and threats to human being and the ecology. Energy saving actions are encouraged to change the boiling future.

On the other hand, serial air-con-free outdoor events will be held in the Autumn, including: Tsui Hang Night Safari, Parent-child Play at Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, Astropark Stargazing Night, and Green Camping Experience Day. All are welcome to connect with the nature, and enhance the interactions with the natural environment.

Online registration is not necessary this year. We hope for everyone to ease the “global boiling”, by wisely use of energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gases emission.

We should rethink the energy consumption habits that may rapidly affect our environment. Take a step in turning off the air conditioning while the outdoor temperature is below 27 degree Celsius!

To call for more “low carbon” actions, such as wisely use of air con and energy, less meat, more vegetables and less food miles, walk more and drive less, we present these “low-carbon” habits at the mini game booth, relating the actions to the arctic iceberg and polar bears.

We believe, not only parent-child groups can enjoy the mini game, but also the general public may rethink their daily lives and carbon emission. The “very hot” days after the mid-autumn festival are the signs of global warming. It cannot be eased by staying at air-conditioned indoor all day and night. Instead, some cooling methods are also introduced at the promotion booth. Photo props are also provided at the booth. Everyone is welcome!

“No Air Con Night” is coming for the 13th year in 2022. We call for turning off the air con on that night, in cooling down the Earth. Some people may start to reduce the use of air-conditioning at home by joining the campaign.

sThis year, we continue to promote the idea of “Turning off the air con when the outdoor temperature is below 27 degree Celsius”. Let “No Air Con Night” be a connection to the nature, to let everyone of us feel the weather and seasons’ change, in order to tackle the climate change and global warming.

We believe a change starts day-to-day. To ease the Global Warming and extreme weather, we are responsible for reducing the greenhouse gases emission and implementing green living. When we rely on cooling our room temperature by air con, the weather will be hotter and hotter, which is trapped in a vicious circle. A better way to cool down is turning off the air con.

In the coming August to October, public engagement activities such as a slogan competition (Chinese only) 《無冷氣夜標語創作比賽》is for all ages with prizes. And “No Air Con Night mini game booth” will be held in September.

Please follow Green Sense Facebook Page for more details.

Easing global warming starts with a simple action! We are happy to announce that, until yesterday (6^th Oct 2021) 12:00, over 70 thousand households have signed up for “No Air Con Night 2021”! This year, with the significant support from 11 Universities and Higher Education Institutes, and 316 Schools (including 59 Secondary Schools, 110 Primary Schools and 147 Kindergartens), thousands of students, staff and parents have the chance to understand the importance in saving energy and the practice of green lifestyles. Some schools also held different kinds of energy saving activities in response to this campaign.

Moreover, 224 companies and organizations have pledged to join “No Air Con Night 2021”. Over 1300 buildings and housing estates have called for the support from their colleagues, residents and tenants, and some of the property management offices to turn off the air con. They posted No Air Con Night posters and display the paperless promotion on the e-panels.

It is our honour to gain the generous support from the Hong Kong Observatory and Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and having dozens of Government departments and related organizations, such as Architectural Services Department, Buildings Department, Civil Aid Service, Drainage Services Department, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Estate Agents Authority, Government Property Agency, Hongkong Post, Labour Department, Lands Department, Planning Department, to actively promote our event to their Civil Servant teams.

We are also grateful to have Futou Annie perform a “No Air Con” theme song, from her famous song “夏日熱辣辣” with lyrics re-written. This theme song will soon be published on our social media platforms; other celebrities of different sectors have supported “No Air Con Night”, including:

- Dr. CHENG Cho Ming (Director of HK Observatory)

- Mr. LAM Chiu Ying (Former Director of HK Observatory)

- Mr. LEUNG Wing Mo (Former Assistant Director of HK Observatory)

- Mr. Vincent NG Ka Him (Freelance Journalist)

- Miss Cecilia CHOI (Actress)

This year, in order to link the use of air con with the outdoor temperature, we encourage the general public to pledge for turning off the Air Con when the outdoor temperature is below 27 degree (Celsius). After the mid-Autumn Festival, the average nighttime temperature was lower than in the summer. Therefore we promote to turn off the air con when the outdoor temperature is cooler.

Previously a writing competition for Primary School students about “A week without Air Con” was launched, which allowed all of us to rethink the use of air con in daily life. We should wisely use the air con responsibly, in order to save energy and to mitigate global warming. Totally there were nearly 300 writings received, with creative ideas about keeping cool at home in summer. The key message from many of them was “Stay Calm and Cool”.

In the past 9 years, we have host a “No Air Con Night” ceremony in an outdoor air-con-free venue. Even we cannot host a ceremony due to the pandemic for the 2^nd year, we believe more and more people value fresh air and air-con-free outdoor environment in the era of mask-wearing.

We thank all of you to turn off the air con and cool the Earth together! Please continue to support the “No Air Con Night” and sustain in the wise use of energy!

Territory-wide campaign “No Air Con Night 2021″ is coming for 12 consecutive years. We call for turning off the air con on that night, in cooling down the Earth. Some people may start to reduce the use of air-conditioning at home by joining the campaign. Therefore we encourage the member of the public to “Turn off the air con when the outdoor temperature is below 27 degree Celcius”. Let “No Air Con Night” become a habit, not only for one night! It can be today, tomorrow and every night!

We believe a change starts day-to-day. To ease the Global Warming and extreme weather, we are responsible to reduce the greenhouse gases emission and implement green living. When we rely on cooling our room temperature by air con, the weather will be hotter and hotter, which is trapped in a vicious circle. A better way to cool down is turning off the air con.

Over 90,000 households support the 11th No Air Con Night

Turning off the Air Con, Cooling the Earth

The “11th No Air Con Night” was successfully held on 9th October, 2020, Friday. This annual energy saving event aims to promote green practices and encourage people to bear the responsibility as a member of the earth village.

Easing global warming starts with a simple action! We are happy to announce that over 90,000 households have signed up for “No Air Con Night 2020”! With reference to an air con consuming 1kWh of electricity per hour, turning on the air con for 8 hours would equate to emitting around 4.43kg of carbon emission. Referring to the participation date of 90,000 households in this year’s “No Air Con Night” (from 7pm to 7am the next day) would decrease electricity consumption by 1080MW, while reducing 598 tons of carbon emission.

This year, with the significant support from 49 Universities and Higher Education Institutes, and 287 Schools (including 55 Secondary Schools, 115 Primary Schools and 117 Kindergartens), thousands of students, staff and parents have the chance to understand the importance in saving energy and the practice of green lifestyles. Some schools also held different kinds of energy saving activities in response to this campaign.

Moreover, 246 companies and organizations have pledged to join “No Air Con Night 2020”. Over 1400 buildings and housing estates have called for the support from their colleagues, residents and tenants, and some of the property management offices to turn off the air con. They posted No Air Con Night posters, stickers and display the paperless promotion on the e-panels.

It is our honour to gain the generous support from the Hong Kong Observatory and Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and having dozens of Government departments and related organizations, such as the Transport and Housing Bureau, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, Buildings Department, etc., to actively promote our event to their Civil Servant teams. We are also grateful to have the support from over 57 District Council Members. They have published posts on the social media to show their supports.

Apart from political, business and educational parties, we have specially invited a rapper from HKGolden Music to perform the theme song and filmed music video for “No Air Con Night 2020”, arousing support from the general public! This year we also invited Sham Lok Yi, a local artist and Green KOL, to film a promotional video for “No Air Con Night”. In the video, Sham introduced different creative methods for cooling down when not using the air con. She also encouraged us to save energy and reduce carbon emission, as well as joining the “No Air Con Night”.

This year, celebrities of different sectors have supported “No Air Con Night”, including:

• Mr. PANG Yiu Hung, JP (Director of Electrical & Mechanical Services (Ag.)
• Dr. CHENG Cho Ming (Director of HK Observatory)

Apart from inviting celebrities to support “No Air Con Night”, we are also aware that a number of public figures, including radio presenter, writer, and artist, have encouraged the public to join the event on their social media pages. Meanwhile, various online information platforms helped to promote this year’s “No Air Con Night”. We are motivated by the active responses public figures and the media have shown towards the event, which also reflects our society’s increasing awareness towards environmental issues.

This year, under the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, we launched a new online activity for “No Air Con Night”– “Party Guess with the Polar Bear”, which allowed us to interact with the public via social media. In a video clip, an actor in a “Polar Bear” costume demonstrated a list of movements representing environmentally friendly and climate change messages. Dozens of participants got the correct answer and will receive a reusable umbrella bag. The reusable umbrella bag is an environmentally friendly gift and can substitute single-use umbrella bags. Through this activity, we hope participants and the public can learn to use the air con responsibly, to save energy and to mitigate global warming. We would like to thank the participants who joined this activity.

In the past 9 years, we have host a “No Air Con Night” ceremony in an outdoor air-con-free venue. This year we cannot host a ceremony due to the pandemic, but we are glad that different sectors have still shown their understanding and support for this event.

We thank all of you to turn off the air con and cool the Earth together! Please continue to support the “No Air Con Night” and sustain in the wise use of energy!

All can take action on easing the Global Warming.

While turning on the air con at home on hot days, are you aware of heating up the outdoor temperature?

Hong Kong consumed 4.48 billion kWh of electricity in 2019, of which air-conditioning made up around 30% (1.34 billion kWh of electricity) of the total, that equates releasing 7.44 million tonnes of carbon emission to the atmosphere.

If we rely on indoor air conditioning when the weather gets hotter, a vicious positive feedback is formed in warming the planet.

Using less air conditioning is truly a way in cooling the Earth.

All are welcome to join the “No Air Con Night 2020″ on 9th October (suggesting from 7 pm). The first step of change can be taken by turning off the air con at home together.
