North India has been witnessing record-breaking summers in the month of June. Punjab's Hoshiarpur district on Wednesday registered 50°C, while a day before, the temperature in Delhi felt like 50°C. Due to the temperature rise, the electricity demand is also increasing, and therefore, people in many states are witnessing power cuts. In the meantime, New AC Rule India has become a topic of discussion on social media.
As per reports, the Central government is soon going to bring a new rule regarding the temperature of AC in the country, under which the temperature of AC cannot be set less than 20°C or more than 28°C. Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar described this initiative as an important step towards energy conservation and environmental protection. This rule will not only help in reducing power consumption but will also contribute to the fight against climate change.
Reports suggest that the Centre wants everyone to run the AC at a certain temperature. This will also reduce power consumption and reduce damage to the environment. Apart from this, the country will also benefit economically due to savings in electricity. This step is part of a comprehensive policy to increase energy efficiency in the residential and commercial sectors.
Objective of the new rule
Excessive use of AC has led to a huge increase in power consumption, which is directly affecting the energy resources and environment of the country. According to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), setting the temperature of the AC at 24-25°C can save up to 24% in electricity consumption. This new rule of the government is a concrete step in this direction, which aims to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
What will be the benefit of this?
This rule will promote the manufacture of energy-efficient ACs, which will increase technological innovation and competition in the market. All people will get comfort due to the same temperature of the AC. Apart from this, electricity will also be saved, which will lead to the development of the country.
