Save fuel for generators

Fuel consumption for generators:
The gen burn/month around 5000l (100% running time at a refugee camp as an example) and now the temperature is increasing and they burn 5000 Liter in 25 days which corresponds with a consumption of 6.94 and now increasing to 8.33 liter/h because of more A/Cs are in use.
Use smaller A/Cs (there's no need to have 17 deg with open doors
Use smaller generator sets (many are totally oversized and burn more fuel than a smaller gen.
Use more fans instead A/Cs

Yes Mike, fuel for generators represents around 14% (as a first approximation) of the total Carbon footprint of OCP. This emission source is far from négligeable and requires to be addressed.
