Raise Your AC to 24°C — Save Power, Save the Planet
With temperatures hitting record highs across India, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is urging citizens to make a simple but powerful change: set your air-conditioner to 24°C.
Why it matters: ✔️ Every 1°C increase = ~6% less electricity used ✔️ 24°C setting can reduce cooling energy use by up to 24% ✔️ National savings potential: ₹5,000 crore annually ✔️ CO₂ reduction: 8.2 million tonnes/year
No need for new appliances. No extra cost. Just a smarter setting for your existing AC. This small step helps lower your power bill and supports India’s clean energy goals.
