Frequently Asked Questions

Space Heating; Air Conditioning

The climate is so moderate in Abadiania that one seldom finds air conditioning, and essentially never space heating in buildings.  Due to the construction methodologies -- brick, concrete and stone -- the thermal mass of a building is so large that the daily temperature extremes are effectively evened out inside buildings in every season, and air conditioning or space heating is seldom experienced as lacking. 

Nevertheless, to fend off afternoon temperature extremes in the living room and the bedrooms, we have provided air conditioning in Casa de Luz.  The units are located in the living room and in the two upstairs bedrooms.  They can be controlled with remotes with quite confusing details.  We recommend using the standard setting which supplies 25 degrees (C). 
-- push the orange on/off button.
-- then push the "MODO" button multiple times until a triangle appears in the top left corner of the screen.
-- push on/off again to turn the unit off. 

To conserve energy, we request to use the miniblinds to blend out the afternoon sun, and to have the windows closed when A/C is running.  On your arrival you may find the air conditioner unit unplugged.  If this is so, and if you wish to use air conditioning, please unplug it when you depart.
