New Delhi, 11/6: The Power Ministry is working on implement a new standard temperature range for air conditioners across the country
“We have decided the minimum temperature of ACs will be fixed at 20°C and maximum at 28°C across all sectors — including cars — amid rising temperatures due to climate change and increasing use of cooling systems,” Union Minister for Power, Manohar Lal Khattar said. The new rules aim to bring uniformity to air conditioning use and help reduce excessive power consumption due to extremely low cooling settings, the minister said. The implementation will be rolled out soon, he added
