A Responsibility to Shoulder
India’s Cooling Action Plan forecasts cooling demand to grow nearly eight times in the next 20 years. In light of the fact that cooling is no longer just a comfort product but lies at the intersection of national development, public health, climate action and energy security, this means the HVAC industry shoulders a very serious responsibility.
Mihir Sanghavi, Managing Partner, Auro Engineering Company, Immediate Past President RATA, Secretary, ISHRAE, and Regional Representative, ASHRAE Region XV, describes that responsibility as “identifying a system that can serve for 15 to 20 years or more, with the ideal being a correctly engineered system that is energy-efficient across its lifecycle, while also being safe, maintainable, durable, reliable, aligned with current and future standards and recyclable.”
