Flagged off. Gupta said that under the scheme of Energy Conservation Bureau, Mobile Vein will promote energy conservation by visiting various districts in the state for 30 days.
He said that after various research, it has been concluded by energy efficiency buses that running air conditioners at 24 to 26 degree centigrade (or more) not only saves energy but it is also good in terms of health. Information about energy saving and conservation measures will also be given through Nukkad plays from this mobile vehicle. He said that surveys have also shown that 30 to 40 percent of the total electricity consumption of commercial buildings is used for environment cooling.
Increasing the temperature setting of air conditioners from 24 degrees C to degrees C per degree not only saves energy by about 6 C degrees C but also reduces the emission of green house gases.
