3. What We Do
CLASP improves the energy and environmental performance of the appliances & equipment we use every day, accelerating our transition to a more sustainable world
Energy & Quality Standards to keep inefficient, cheap products off the market
Policy Compliance, Testing & Quality Assurance to ensure products perform & markets are fair to all
Product Labeling & Consumer Education to attract consumers to good products & inspire demand
Awards & Prizes to recognize and reward early-movers & accelerate markets
Procurement & Incentives to spur on innovative manufacturers, reduce risks for all & saturate markets
Global Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing to leverage cutting edge & collective knowledge and forge productive partnerships

4. Electricity and Cooling Demand
The share of space cooling in peak electricity load is projected to rise sharply from 10% today to 45% in 2050.
The total connected load due to air conditioning will be 200 GW (80% of current connected load) by This may increase further with increasing AC penetration
Total installed AC capacity is 80 million TR expected to increase to ~ 250 million TR by 2030.
Room AC sales projected to increase significantly by 2030 leading to an installed stock of approx. 124 million room AC (55million in 2017)

5. Standards and Labeling Program
2001
Energy Conservation Act Passed
2002
Enactment of the Act
Establishment of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)
2006
First voluntary labeling program for RACs launched
RACs made mandatory and revision in 2012, 2014 & 2016
Voluntary variable split AC launched
2018
Revision and Common rating plan for fixed and variable speed
Transition from EER to iSEER metric
*21 appliances under labeling, of which 10 under mandatory phase

6. Labeling Program for Room Air Conditioners (RAC)
Mandatory Appliance
Split AC
Fixed and inverter speed split and window AC upto 11kW
Standard: IS 1391 (Part 1 & 2) and ISO
Window AC
Star Labeling Parameter
Energy Efficiency Ratio
Higher is Better

7. Evolution of Labeling Program for RACs
Since its launch, EE threshold for 1 Star has increased by 35% and that of 5 Star by 41% by 2018.

8. Market Growth of RACs
Since 2007, Room Air Conditioner (Fixed Speed & window) market has seen an increase from 0.3 to 6.4 Million in 2016
Variable speed AC market transformed from 5-6% in 2014 to 11% in 2016 (as per BEE) to the current market of approx. 30%

9. Policy Impact on Energy Efficiency Improvements
Total no of models -156
Total no of models -156

10. Cooling Policies and Market Transformation
Room AC
AC Challenge
Efficiency degradation
Market tracking for efficiency improvement
Incremental cost and supply chain analysis
Refrigerants and Ecolabel??
Chiller
VRF

11. HVAC Chiller VRF- A similar effort is underway for VRFs
Market Assessment
Techno-economic Assessment
Development of National Standard
International Comparison
Implementation plan
Launch of labeling program
VRF- A similar effort is underway for VRFs

12. Way Forward
HFC phase down schedule freeze year (India Group 2 country)
BIS to develop safety standards for AC with flammable refrigerants –study and ongoing discussions
Linkage between refrigerant and efficiency needs to be studied and established
Relevant information on refrigerant should be integrated into the star label.
Study to understand impact on the performance of RACs due to adverse environmental conditions over its life time
Ecolabel-? to integrate the energy and environmental impacts
