Global GHG Mitigation GOAL50% reduction by 2050 to restrict temperature
rise to 2 deg C 15 Billion Tonnes of CO2e reduction per year
Indian Commitment to COP1520-25 % reduction in GHG Intensity of GDP over 2005 levels by 2020 64 Million Tonnes of CO2e
reduction per yearthat’s 21,333,333 homes with no
electricity per year that’s 250 million trees to be planted per year
that’s 1600 IPLs to be erased every year

• India can leapfrog (refrigerants & technology ) – we’re just starting our Air Conditioning party, we can change the music right now!
• Natural Refrigerant / Water-based cooling technologies commercially proven, available, viable, feasible (all other good adjectives)
• If we focus on cooling people and not buildings (thermal comfort and not air conditioning) - we can avoid the catastrophe.
• Sophisticated softwares available to simulate and design passive cooling strategies
• Alternate Cooling Technologies > energy efficient than conventional vapor- compression-refrigeration
• EPI of conventional buildings = 50% > than EPI of energy efficient buildings
the Hands – Solutions
• In operation since October 2012 with a successful 1.5 year long pilot for Natural Refrigerant Split AC’s
• A 3 year program to bridge the gap between knowledge and action in the cooling sector to ‘Cool India Efficiently and Sustainably’
• In partnership between NOE21, a Geneva based Non-profit Organization and cBalance Solutions Hub, India
• Funded by the State of Geneva & Oak Foundation

Sustainability
The ACIP deeply embeds skills related to working with sustainable cooling technologies (for engineering academia) and efficient building design centered around building physics and relevant sustainable design principles (for architecture academia) through workshops designed to enhance sustainable design pedagogy skills amongst Architecture professors, facilitate activity-based learning process amongst students, as well as accomplish seamless syllabus integration of sustainability and efficiency into official University-defined curricula.

Underpinnings1. Curricula defines the bare minimum, not the maximum
2. Integrative vs. Additive Change
3. Achieve seamless ‘invisible’ integration
4. ToT vs. Student Training
5. Horizontal integration across design, technical, and humanities subjects
6. Eliminate silos, unite engineers & architects: whole building design

an overheard conversation in an Indian city
Hey its gets getting
hotter every year isnt’t
it?
Yes it sure is. that’s why I’m going to make
sure every room in my house has
ACsBut isnt that ‘unfair’; to add to the problem and make it hotter for everyone else?
Well that’s not my
problem, THEY should make
buildings that dont heat up like this!!
