New Delhi : Ministry of Power, Government of India, on September 14, 2018, launched an ambitious programme to encourage the deployment of Energy Efficient chiller systems in the country here. The Chiller Star Labelling Programme has been formulated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). It envisages providing star rating in terms of its energy performance. Initially, the programme has been launched on voluntary basis and will be valid up to December 31, 2020.
Launching this key programme, A K Bhalla, Secretary, Power, emphasised the need to improve energy efficiency in space and process cooling sector, considering the occasion of 24th World Ozone Day and the 31st Anniversary of Montreal Protocol, which will be observed on September 16, 2018. “This initiative will promote advancement technology for central HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems and will also facilitate energy efficient solutions for the large commercial and industrial applications,” Bhalla added, according to a PIB release. Chillers are used extensively for space conditioning of buildings and for industrial process cooling applications.
BEE has developed an online registration platform for easy and expeditious approval under this initiative. The manufacturers will be able to register online for availing appropriate star rating of chiller equipment. Based on the test certificate from designated agencies and after due verification from BEE, the star label (1 to 5) will be awarded, with 5 star being the most efficient chillers.
Through Chiller star labelling Programme, it is estimated that more than 500 million units of electricity would be saved in 2019 along with Green House Gases (GHG) reduction of 0.5 million-ton equivalent of CO2.
