Thoughtful Cooling and Building Energy Modelling Workshop for Architects in Chennai

This one-of-a-kind 3-day workshop on 'Thoughtful Cooling' is happening at Chennai on the 2nd to 4th of September for practicing architects. The workshop enables a deep understanding of the principles and practical application methods of Building Physics, Passive Design Interventions, Sustainable Cooling Technologies and Building Energy Modeling.

The Premise:
It is estimated that by 2031, if left unchecked, India’s carbon footprint contribution from window and split air conditioners alone will amount to187.5 million tonnes of CO2e or the equivalent of 750 million lesser trees.

The Program:
Fair Conditioning is a program that aims to reduce India's emissions from air-conditioning through technology sharing, behavior change and a higher focus on efficiency. As stage 1 of the program, training workshops are being conducted across cities in India with architects to design for energy efficiency, indoor thermal comfort and GHG mitigation. Please read more about the program on www.fairconditioning.in.
