Inefficient air-cons are being dumped in Southeast Asia. That’s costly for consumers and the climate (www.channelnewsasia.com)

Dumped air-cons refer to those produced by various brands that do not meet the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) in the brands' own domestic markets. They end up being exported to places with less stringent standards.

In its study published in September, CLASP examined the sale of inefficient room air-cons in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. 

It found that out of 8.3 million units sold in the six countries in 2021, nearly three in four, or 6.2 million units, were of low efficiency.

Indonesia and the Philippines were the most exposed to dated technology, with 97 per cent and 78 per cent of room air-cons sold in the two countries respectively deemed inefficient. The figure in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam was around 60 per cent.

In Singapore, 21 per cent of total sales were low-efficiency models.
