[Phys-l] cooling hints



In a recent newspaper article about energy efficiency, an energy company
spokesperson said
"If you actually turn your air conditioner off for periods of time, the
amount of energy it will use as it tries to "catch up" and make the house cool
again is more than if it comes on periodically throughout the day."
Am I missing something practical here or is this statement as wet as the
condensation from the air conditioner?
