Accelerating the Adoption of Energy-Efficient Ceiling Fans

Helping institutions across India reduce electricity consumption through smarter, high-efficiency fan technologies.

The Challenge

India’s cooling demand is rising rapidly.

Across schools, hospitals, offices, and commercial buildings, ceiling fans remain the most widely used cooling device.

Many of these buildings still rely on conventional fan technologies that have changed little over the decades, leading to higher electricity consumption and unnecessary energy costs.

For large institutions operating hundreds of fans for long hours each day, even small efficiency improvements can translate into significant electricity demand and operational expenses over time.
