Heat Waves and the Urgent Need for Efficient Cooling

By Lodha

With rising global temperatures, the demand for cooling is surging, making energy-efficient solutions more critical than ever. This RMI article highlights how heat waves are straining power grids and exacerbating emissions, emphasizing the need for better building design, cooling technologies, and policy interventions.

Palava is featured as a case study where energy-efficient air conditioning units were field-tested, demonstrating how optimized cooling can reduce energy consumption without compromising comfort. As cities expand, integrating passive cooling strategies, high-performance appliances, and innovative cooling solutions will be essential. The Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator continues to advance these efforts by testing and scaling innovations that align with India’s sustainability goals.
