All guesthouse in Laos are well aware about Energy efficiency. 99% of guest house in Laos using 5 Energy Star air conditional (Energy Star Rating-Most energy efficiency) and preset the temperature of 24 degree C. Honestly, we don't need air conditional in Laos. The outdoor temperature is below 24 degree C during night time.
5 energy star rating refrigerator is commonly used in their household and phamancy. Personally, i saw all home appliances sold in their electrical appliances shops are rated at 5 Energy Star.
Another great example is 5 Energy Star water heater/hot shower in Luang Prabang Guest house.
Malaysia had this SAVE Programme whereby consumers get RM200 rebate for purchase of 5star refrigerators and RM100 rebate for 5star air-conds.
