PERFECTLY OK
Surprised, OR,
rather irritated,
with these statements?
But that is what we have been doing for, say around 100 years
Heat is the primary from of energy, & we are experts in throwing it out!
Living in a hot country, doing this looks very natural for us,

“A warm, and pleasant summer day, OR A Hot and horrible summer day”
The first statement is perfectly all right for a westerner from a colder climate!
Similarly have you ever thought of throwing freshly cooled air into the street?
Again that is perfectly OK for a westerner as he is trading heat for that chillness!

They looked at, studied and designed all systems to suit, primarily a colder climate.
Except the standard air conditioning that we are all familiar with.
Yes there are systems called heat pumps that produce products with “heat”
1) With pumping of heat rather than directly applying heat energy, it requires
less power to produce hot water: C.O.P is the indicator of this
2) In some applications the client can do away with boilers resulting in saving in
fuel costs, saving from bothersome boiler acts etc, saving from irksome
storage problems of messy fuel. And escape from the clutches of a boiler

3) Reduction in main chiller capacity (to the extent given by the heat pump.
4) Reduced demand charges to EB (KW demand comes down)
5) Reduced transformer size from EB or the client’s own
6) Standby DG set size and cost come down
7) Value addition for a high rise residential promoter as the clients need not go
in for Geysers for the bath rooms
8) Eligibility for governmental concessions for energy saved as and when acts
gets passed by the parliament
9) Import benefits for eligible clients as an energy saving equipment
10) Power supply system breaths easy due to reduced demand
