Minister says open doors lead to 20% more consumption as restrictions on illuminated signs also announced
Air-conditioned shops in France will be ordered to keep their doors closed or risk being fined, a minister said while announcing a rule to combat energy wastage.
Leaving the doors open when the air conditioning is on leads to “20% more consumption and … it’s absurd”, the French minister of ecological transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, told RMC radio on Sunday.
