Manohar Lal Khattar said on Tuesday that India will soon organize an experiment on the standardization of alternating current temperature, which will reduce the air conditioning below 20 ° C or heating above 28 ° C, on Tuesday Manohar Lal Khattar. This comes in the middle of the Indian meteorological department (IMD) issuing an orange warning against the waves in Delhi and the inhabitants are winding under a hot charm.
“As regards air conditioning standards, new provisions are soon carried out. Standardization for ACS will be set between 20 ° C to 28 ° C, which means that we will not be able to cool below 20 ° C or warm above 28 ° C. This is a first -class experiment that is standardizing for standardization.”
“We decided that the minimum ACS temperature would be set at 20 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 28 degrees Celsius to approach the uniformity of air conditioning and to help reduce excessive energy consumption due to extremely low cooling settings,” Haryan Cm said.
What does the new AC temperature rule mean?
Once these changes have been implemented, air conditioning will have a limited operating range throughout India. AC, which currently cools up to 16 ° C or 18 ° C, will not occur. The minimum cooling settings will be set at 20 ° C and the heating will be determined at 28 ° C. This will probably affect the use of air -conditioning units in households and commercial environments, and the authorities plan to oversee its implementation and assess its impact.
Why this decision?
According to reports, the government emphasizes the need to reduce the burden of the national power network and urges responsible energy consumption. The new rule is trying to solve energy consumption led by low ACS temperatures below 20 ° C.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Bee), which increases the air conditioning temperature by several degrees, can lead to significant energy savings. While most AC in India is usually determined between 20-21 ° C, the recommended comfort range is 24 ° for all stars and ACS rooms, while for commercial buildings it is between 24 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius. In fact, any increase in 1 ° C can reduce energy consumption by approximately 6%.
