One problem that some people have mentioned is that commercial facilities are often air conditioned for 12 or more hours when no one is even occupying the building. This needs to stop. Billions of cubic feet of vacant space don’t need A/C at night.
None of your business what commercial buildings want to do
Surely you are not an idiot.
If the outside temp is 90F and you turn off your AC the inside tempt will be 85F by the time sunrise rolls around. At that point no one can turn on their PCs or any other equipment or even sit in the “empty” rooms — the AC is playing catchup.
Unless the AC is massive, like what is used to freeze food, it will play catchup all day until sundown.
Repeat.
In such warm areas AC has to run continuously. Even with excellent insulation.
That’s partially because it takes more energy to cool them down than to keep them cool.
The other part of the situation is that they are billed based on peak demand rather than total usage in a lot of places.
