KEY POINTS

·        More frequent and intense heat waves are expected with a rise in global temperatures due to climate change.

·        India, with currently low penetration levels of air conditioners (ACs), will likely require substantial cooling services to keep citizens healthy and productive.

·        The India Cooling Action Plan projects the number of room air conditioners to become about four times in the next decade, making India the world’s largest energy user for cooling.

·        The desired levels of cooling vary greatly even among relatively homogenous communities.

·        It is interesting to note that the India Cooling Action Plan in its estimation of residential cooling demand, assumes that an average household uses an AC for eight hours a day.

·        Large-scale adoption of efficient cooling appliances will be essential to providing the required thermal comfort in a low carbon manner.

·        A third of the households did not know of the Star Labelling programme, which is a government programme mandatory for refrigerators and air conditioners.

·        In India infrastructure, and behaviours of cooling technologies are yet to be made, there is a unique opportunity to lock-in energy efficient consumption patterns.
