AC Split
SUSTAINABILITY & URBAN DESIGNbeginner
Definition
Split-type air conditioning system — a comfort cooling system consisting of a wall-mounted or ceiling indoor unit connected via refrigerant lines to an outdoor compressor unit. AC split is the dominant cooling system in Indonesian commercial and residential buildings, preferred for its efficiency, quiet operation, and flexibility in room zoning.
Example
An Indonesian bedroom uses a 1.5-ton AC split with an inverter compressor — the unit maintaining 24°C setpoint with individual temperature control, more efficient than window units while producing minimal noise.
