So far, whenever the heat was unbearable, it was common to pick up the AC remote and set the temperature directly to 18-20 degrees. But now it may not be possible to do so. The government of india is soon going to implement a fixed temperature limit for air conditioners. That is, now the AC cannot be made too cold or hot as per your wish.
Now the temperature of AC will not go below 20°C
Union Housing and Urban Affairs minister Manohar Lal Khattar recently announced that a minimum and maximum temperature will be fixed for AC in India. Under the new rule, the air conditioner cannot be made colder than 20°C and hotter than 28°C. The government believes that this will not only save electricity, but will also be a big benefit to the environment.
Will the era of extra cooling become old?
This news can definitely come as a bit of a shock to AC users, because now they will not be able to use the 'super cool' mode or the button that gives very cold air. Options that go below 20 degrees can be removed. That is, now the remote of the AC can be a little 'simple'.
There will be huge savings in electricity bill
According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), if you increase the temperature of your AC by just 1 ° C, then about 6% can be saved in the electricity bill. Many people run AC at 20-21 degrees, while the ideal temperature is considered to be 24-25 degrees. If more people adopt 24 degrees, then up to 20 billion units of electricity can be saved annually, which is equivalent to about Rs 10,000 crore.
Warm clothes to avoid cold?
Running the AC at low temperature makes the indoor environment so cold that people have to wear warm clothes. This further increases the wastage of energy. Research has also revealed that a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is comfortable for most people - especially when there is a balance of air and humidity in the room.
