Now temperature to be set default at 24 degrees in AC
AC temperature to be set the default to control the rising temperature
JAN 08 (WTN) - Conservation of nature is the first duty of all of us. Humans have exploited natural resources fiercely for their selfishness, and as a result of this, the weather is changing unpredictably every year. For the past several years, it has been noted that winter, summer and rainy seasons have been disturbed for a few years. By the way, meteorologists say that human unnatural activities are responsible for the unpredictable behavior of nature.
Actually, humans have made many such tools for their convenience on the basis of science which is harming nature. The AC (Air Conditioner) used in summer is largely responsible for increasing the temperature of the earth. For your information, let us know that the use of an AC increases the heat in the surrounding environment. From time to time meteorologists have expressed concern over the increasing trend of AC that if AC consumption continues to increase, it will have an adverse effect on the weather.
Gradually, given the increasing use of AC, and the effect of AC use on the temperature of the Earth, the Modi Government has taken a big decision. In fact, the Ministry of Power has issued a notification that on purchasing a new air conditioner (AC), it will now start at a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. That is, the default temperature will be set 24 degrees in all types of ACs of all companies.
Explain that in the New Year, AC will be manufactured with new settings. The Ministry of Power has issued a notification for all brands of star-rated ACs. These new rules have come into effect from 1 January 2020. For your information, let us know that this decision of the government will reduce the power consumption through AC on the one hand; on the other hand, it will reduce your electricity bill every month.
In fact, in collaboration with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the government has set energy performance standards for room air conditioners. A default setting of 24 degrees has been made mandatory for all room air conditioners to get a star rating from BEE. According to the new rules, its default setting will be only 24 degrees when starting AC, after which you can change it according to your convenience.
Let us know that BEE launched the star labeling program for fixed-speed room air conditioners in 2006 which was made mandatory on 12 January 2009. Subsequently, the Voluntary Star Labeling Program for Invert Room Air Conditioners was launched in 2015 and was implemented on 1 January 2018. For your information, let us know that the Star labeling program for room air conditioners saved 4.6 billion units of energy in the financial year 2017-18 alone.
As you know, India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. For this reason, the consumption of AC is gradually increasing in India. According to the report of the International Energy Agency, by 2050, India will have the highest demand for AC in the world. According to a report, there may be a 4206% increase in the purchase of AC in India. Naturally, if the AC demand increases, then the power consumption will also increase, in order to reduce the power consumption, the government has decided to keep the temperature in the AC as the default 24 degrees. It is natural that keeping the temperature of AC at 24 degrees by default will do a lot of environmental protection, and it will also save electricity.
