Policy Landscape and Industry Initiatives for Efficient Space Cooling Appliances

The two-part webinar series on ‘Accelerating the uptake of energy efficient space cooling appliances in India’ aims to discuss the trends, limiting factors and recommendations on appliances’ efficiency. The discussion revolved around ongoing research and development on accelerating the uptake of energy efficient space cooling appliances from three broad perspectives: consumers, industry and policy.

A strong regulatory framework and effective implementation of policies is the underpinning for accelerating uptake of energy efficient cooling appliances. Increasing efficiency of cooling appliances cannot be discussed in isolation from government initiatives including Standards and Labelling Program, Make in India campaign. The industry too has an important role to play in the transition towards an energy efficient appliance market where technology innovation is only one piece of the puzzle.
