Join us on Tuesday, January 14 at 15:30 IST for a ‘Breathe-In’ dialogue on ‘Innovations in Clean Air Technology for Improved Indoor Air Quality’, as part of the Cleaner Air and Better Health (CABH) project supported by United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Indoor air pollution is a significant concern as it could lead to various health risks, such as respiratory issues and cardiovascular diseases. Novel clean air technologies emerged to address this, providing a breath of fresh air indoors. This dialogue hosts Hannu Salmela from VTT and Barun Aggarwal from BreatheEasy Consultants. Hannu will share global perspectives on novel ventilation, filtration, and purification technologies, along with case studies on fine particle exposure control and pandemic preparedness in today's context. Barun will present insights on implementing clean air technologies in India, focusing on particulate matter and gaseous pollutants.

Announcement of Indian Railways Global Ceiling Fan Competition On December 10, 2024, Indian Railways Global Ceiling Fan Competition was announced by Indian Railways and USAID's South Asia Regional Energy Partnership (SAREP) through its Low Carbon Comfort & Cooling Collective (LC4) initiative. Indian Railways operate around one million ceiling fans across 8,000+ stations, workshops, and production units, often in harsh conditions. These fans, exposed to extreme weather, operate continuously and are vulnerable to damage from birds and rodents. Most fans use conventional technology rated at 60-70 Watts, presenting a significant energy-saving opportunity. The competition seeks innovative solutions to replace the existing ceiling fans with highly durable, energy-efficient models.The applicants are encouraged to adopt environment-friendly manufacturing processes and materials with an aim to reduce embodied carbon. The competition is an opportunity for manufacturers, OEMs, and startups to lead the future of ceiling fans, innovate for low carbon cooling solutions and unlock new markets.
