It is not only HVAC industry that should support energy conservation brigade but the trend in the whole world in any industry is such.There should be a strong movement in this direction.
Go Green - Environment friendly and the buzz word being "Dedicated to Eco Friendly Environment".
What rubbish !Ask ACREX-2013 organisers and visit the stalls of the companies you will find the vast difference between what is being propagated on the paper and what is the ground reality.
I was in ACREX-2013 exhibition held at Bombay Exhibition Center on 7th,8th & 9th in Mumbai.
I have attached the theme photo of the ACREX-2013 bill board that says "Dedicated to Eco Friendly Environment". The reality is far from the spirit of the theme.
The reasons are below:
1) I visited the stalls of the most big compressor manufacturers for the compressor requirement on "Natural Refrigerant" and couldn't find even a single manufacturer who could supply for the requirement.
2) We often talk of Renewable source of energy - Solar.The harsh reality is that most of the manufacturers are not ready to switch to this technology because of the captivity of their mind sets.
3) Companies are still using conventional HFC's and not ready to switch over.
4) No clear long term perspective from Small & Medium scale HVAC players.
5) No clear R&D guide lines on renewable source of energy use in present day environment.
I hear Australia has developed some of the solar energy concepts in HVAC and one of them I featured on my blog here and also at:

where the energy being consumed is only 34 watts.
The need of the hour is to switch to more natural sources of energy and going green will be only possible when we change our mind sets and not merely on the bill boards as on ACREX-2013.
Feel free to comment on my post may be if your observation is different from mine I could change my outlook!
