Hey,
I have a friend from Norway who's currently visiting Singapore, and doing some research for her master's thesis here as well, regarding the use of air-conditioning. Do let her know if you're keen to take part! Thanks!

Hello!
I am a master student in the field of sociology at the Centre for Development and the Environment in Norway. Currently I'm staying in Singapore. My master thesis will investigate the interaction between people and technology, focusing on possible factors that influence our energy consumption. During my stay in Singapore I am interested in looking at the way air conditioning technology is being used by people in Singapore. This will be done by interviews with people that live in Singapore that both choose to have air con in their home, or that chose to not have air con in their home. I am especially interested in talking to people that choose to not have at air con at home, for environmental reasons or other reasons. The interviews will take about 30- 45 minutes and are done in an informal way. It is also totally anonymous and not scary at all! I am not looking for any right or wrong answers; I am just interested in getting an idea about different practises in use of air con and how this technology affects people's everyday life.
If you feel that you would have time to talk to me, it would be great! Contact me on elisavh@student.hf.uio.no or +65 94819927. A meeting can be arranged where and when it suits you best.
Best regards
