• Power Grids Under Pressure

  During heatwaves, the demand for electricity surges dramatically, leading to blackouts, higher fossil fuel consumption, and greater carbon emissions. This cycle deepens the climate crisis while putting public health at risk.

• The Case for Smarter Cooling

  Energy-efficient HVAC solutions are no longer optional. Non-electric cooling systems that run on waste heat, steam, or hot water provide an alternative to grid-dependent technologies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• BROAD India’s Role

  BROAD India champions sustainable HVAC with systems that use water as a refrigerant, eliminating harmful CFCs and HFCs — while ensuring large-scale efficiency. These solutions are scalable for hospitals, industries, and urban infrastructure.

A Shared Climate Challenge

India and China face similar climate threats. Adopting BROAD’s sustainable HVAC systems can ease grid pressure, reduce emissions, and protect communities from the dangers of extreme heat. In a warming world, cooling must be efficient, eco-friendly, and future-ready.
