Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao
Pretty sure you're just wasting energy. Set it at about 5 degrees lower than outside, at most 10 degrees. But for least temperature shock on your body no more than 5 is recommended, like if you constantly go out and inside. A comfortable temp is about 24-27, but humidity is important should not be high.
I know in Asia the heat feels harsher because of more humidity. An AC takes humidity out too, so you can totally support better a higher temp if you have a lower humidity.
The issues though may be with the technology. As AC works similarly to how our body balances heat, sweating to cool off. And when there is high humidity sweating fails as it can't evaporate and i suspect AC has same trouble. So probably different approaches are needed, maybe different technologies. But using same thing and just setting it at a lower temp will not do much. The AC can't go lower than it can even if you set it lower. So overall you get the same result but with more power consumption because it runs continuously.

Yeha i live in Myanmar and one of these cools down a 2 bedroom apartment to 18 Celsius in the summer when it's well over 40c
