India and other nations in South Asia and Southeast Asia are on track to record the world’s biggest increases in demand for air conditioning. Sales of air conditioners in India rose an estimated 17% over the past three years, with sales raising fastest among residential users. A research professor at the University of Michigan, estimated the potential demand for cooling in Mumbai alone at about 24% of the entire U.S. demand.

District Cooling systems typically require about 15% less capacity than conventional distributed cooling systems for the same cooling loads due to load diversity and flexibility in capacity design and installation. The key challenges are high initial investment, lack of technical expertise for design, little policy level support, and absence of favorable financial and business mechanisms.
This session reviews current energy code adoptions and their requirements for cooling systems, discuss design challenges as they pertain to different cooling system types, review the effectiveness of equipment based on system type, building and application and assess potential benefits.
