Vocational students will help Thailand save
electricity by helping to clean 8,000 air conditioners at government agencies
in 76 provinces.
The
Vocational Education Commission and the Electricity Generating Authority of
Thailand (Egat) last week signed an agreement to run this project.
Sombat Saengsawangsajjakul,
deputy secretarygeneral of the agency, said it wants the students to practice
their skills and offer assistance to help the nation reduce energy consumption.
The
agency has assigned 76 vocational schools in 76 provinces to clean air conditioners
at government offices, including hospitals and city halls in those provinces,
while Egat will provide the funds to operate this project.
Cleaning
air conditioners every six months can decrease electricity consumption by 10
per cent.
Thailand
has 7 million air conditioners and if all of them are cleaned, it will save 2
billion units of electricity or 6 billion baht (US$194.4 million) and reduce
carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million tonnes per year.
