Coimbatore, an ideal choice for district cooling systems
Experts at the ISHRAE Cool Conclave in Coimbatore discussed the potential for district cooling systems to improve energy efficiency in Indian cities. The system, which uses centralized cooling networks, is proposed as a sustainable solution for dense urban developments.
Why it matters
As India's cooling demand rises, district cooling represents a significant infrastructure shift toward net-zero urban planning.
At one of the panel discussions on net zero cities, held as part of the ISHRAE Cool Conclave in Coimbatore recently, the panelists discussed how the country can secure its cooling future while journeying for a sustainable growth.
The roundtable, hosted and moderated by Grundfos, brought together stakeholders from across the cooling ecosystem.
Cooling is now an essential infrastructure in metros and smaller cities. India’s cooling demand is growing rapidly, driven by multiple factors. District cooling is one of the most effective tools available to ensure sustainable cooling solution for hotels, hospitals, houses, industries, and commercial buildings, they said.
“The previous State government had given a policy for district cooling. It should come up as a project in Tamil Nadu,” said J. Sathish, director of Kongu Global Forum.
