The text discusses whether it is more energy efficient to keep the AC on all day at a constant temperature or to turn it off when leaving and back on when returning.
The claims regarding air conditioning energy efficiency are controversial and depend on various factors such as the efficiency of the AC unit, insulation of the building, and local climate. For the first claim, no external evidence was found to support or refute it, leading to a neutral score. The second claim is supported by some web evidence suggesting that keeping the AC on might be more energy efficient due to the energy required to restart the system. However, this evidence is not definitive and varies based on specific circumstances.
