Fairconditioning is an energy demand-side management (DSM) program with a focus on achieving indoor thermal comfort in tropical climates, using minimal or no conventional air-conditioning, in order to reduce energy demand, improve energy access, lower GHG emissions and thus reduce risk from climate change disasters.

Insulation is used to reduce heat gain in

orientation to reduce solar exposure; Materials
such as Reflective Paint.
Alternative Cooling Technologies
More Energy Efficient than
Conventional Air-Conditioning
Evaporative cooling uses the evaporation of
water to cool the air, it works well in hot and
dry climates.
Natural Refrigerants
Lower Global Warming Potential
Natural refrigerant R290 has a global warming
potential (GWP) of only 3.3 vs. 1810 (the GWP
of the most commonly used refrigerant R22)
Focus on Cooling People, Not
Cooling Air
The goal is personal thermal
comfort, not cooling the air
In radiant cooling, chilled water is circulated in
ceiling pipes to absorb heat from the room.
Thus, heat is drained out vs. cool air being
pumped in.
We’re just starting our Air Conditioning party, we can change the music! India can leapfrog (refrigerants & technology).

Fairconditioning is an energy-demand-management, non-profit, program that aims to achieve indoor
thermal comfort while reducing or avoiding conventional air-conditioning in tropical climates. The
program establishes a sustainable cooling eco-system and drives evidence-based policy-change.
FairConditioning’s approach is to improve energy efficiency, integrate energy efficient technologies, and
influence corporate consumer behaviour.
FairConditioning is organized into four projects that focus on:
• Education: Academic Curricula Integration Project (ACIP)
• Capacity Building: Building Energy Modelling Project (BEMAP)
• Corporate Technology Adoption: Technology Adoption Project (TAP)
• Corporate Behaviour Change: Corporate Thermal Comfort Policies Campaign (UpBy2)

14. Sustainable Cooling in the Tropics
First, do passive cooling. Second, do active cooling to meet residual cooling requirement.
Active Cooling technologies use energy to generate
cooling; the ones we recommend are more sustainable.
• Direct/Indirect Evaporative Cooling have the lowest
annual energy consumption and GHG emissions per
unit area of cooled space in hot and dry regions
• Solar Vapour Absorption Machines: Vapour
Absorption chillier machines (VAM) produce chilled
water using a solar source rather than electrical input
as in the case of vapour compression cycle.
• Natural Refrigerant, R290, ACs are 20% more energy-
efficient compared to conventional split-unit ACs and
have lower GHG emissions from refrigerants
Passive Cooling is a strategic design approach to
achieve indoor comfort by preventing and controlling
heat-gain within the built space by minimum use of
energy, either through architectural design, non-energy
based cooling strategies or choice of material or all of
the above.
• Building orientation
• Building envelope
• Climate-responsive design using psychometric chart
• Structure and Radiant Cooling to circulate naturally
cooled water through ceilings/floors to promote rapid
heat dissipation through radiation
• Retractable low-emissivity radiant barriers and high-
emissivity roof coatings (reflective paint)
• Efficient Fenestration Systems such as Engineered
Glazing and Double-Glazed Units, Shading Devices,
and Spectrally Selective Window Films

Why Academia in India? In the building construction and the air conditioning industries terminologies like green, efficient and
unconventional etc. have trickled into the lexicon of practitioners. However, this is not translated in implementation. Why? Because, the next
generation of building professionals – architects, engineers, building consultants, energy modellers, etc. - are not taught substantial,
actionable knowledge on green buildings; the architecture and engineering university curricula in courses are devoid of content related to
Green Building design principles, the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), and Sustainable Cooling Technologies (classical and their
new-age derivatives, as well as state-of- the-art). Indian students graduating from technology and architecture institutes are not sensitized
to identify energy efficiency as a national and global priority. The ACIP challenges this status quo by building capacity of Indian architecture
& HVAC-engineering students and official University-defined curricula of architecture and mechanical engineering institutions

16. Why Architects & HVAC Consultants in India? Architects and HVAC Consultants adopt unsustainable building practices. Moving away
from traditional building practices and disregarding context and climate has led to creation of an energy guzzling building stock in India. The
core causes of this issue are:
• Less or no awareness about the impact of buildings on climate change
• Lack of knowledge on energy efficient building design
• Poor exposure to sustainable cooling technologies
• Inability to convince clients to move away from conventional, unsustainable building designs and cooling technologies
• Lack of information on manufacturers, solution providers and experts in this field
The Building Energy Modelling & Advisory Project (BEMAP) challenges this status quo by training architects and HVAC consultants to
integrate energy efficiency within the building design/evaluation process.
ARCHITECTS learn how environmental factors affect a buildings
performance, master the use of quantified data to design
sustainable buildings, and understand pathways to incorporate
energy efficiency at each level of the building design process.
HVAC CONSULTANTS learn to predict the thermal behaviour of
buildings prior to their construction and propose better-suited
HVAC designs. They also simulate the costs of energy in existing
buildings and learn the best retrofitting measures.

The TAP is primarily an industry GAP analysis study conducted through pilot-scale implementation to demonstrate approaches that work
and do not work, and where the major lacunae in the ecosystem lie to persuade influential corporations of four Indian service sectors -
banking, real-estate, hospitality, IT/BPOs - to adopt passive design and sustainable cooling technologies which will significantly reduce
their energy costs, their GHG emissions and will create a "pioneer-pull-effect" on urban India.
Learn more at www.fairconditioning.org/tap
Awareness is created through face-to-face meetings with the corporates,
introducing sustainable cooling technologies and inviting them to an exclusive
annual roadshow, held in each of the eight selected cities, for senior
management and engineering executives from cluster corporates, sustainable
cooling technology suppliers, practicing Architects and HVAC consultants
Motivation is channelled through the creation and presentation of a Technical
Feasibility Report clearly outlining the energy/cost/GHG emissions reduction
resulting from implementation of passive design and sustainable cooling
recommendations for a key replicable building (existing or planned).
Support is provided to identify an implementation partner and financing;
reducing the risk involved in moving ahead with a recommendation.
This corporate engagement occurs through a 3-step process of awareness, motivation and support.

The ‘UpBy2’ campaign works directly with large corporations and industry associations as well as policy
advocacy bodies to establish AC thermostat and associated workplace dress code policies to enable corporate
offices in India to operate at 28°C without supplementary comfort issues. Experience from the Japanese ‘Cool
Biz’ campaign and similar campaigns at the United Nations, in South Korea and British Trade Union Congress,
shows that organizations having set their air conditioners at higher temperatures will promote loose fitting
fashion, antiperspirant makeup, men forgoing ties in favor of casual outfits, and odour-fighting laundry
detergents adapted to help keep women cool and stylish during the summer.
UpBy2
A small change in thermostat settings makes a large change in energy savings.
Best-practice leaders from enterprises that
have already adopted progressive dress
code and thermostat setting policies,
along with highly influential Consumer and
Industry Ambassadors, will be integrated
into a national Corporate Thermal Comfort
Advocacy Panel that will advocate pan-
India adoption of the UpBy2 strategy
amongst corporate managers.
