💨 Abstract
India is considering a rule to limit new air conditioners' lowest temperature setting to 20°C (68°F) to save energy. This move aims to reduce electricity consumption in a country where ACs account for a quarter of peak demand. The proposal has mixed reviews, with some supporting energy savings and others concerned about comfort. Experts suggest that improving AC efficiency and promoting energy-saving practices could further help mitigate India's growing energy demand and reduce emissions.
