The prime minister of Pakistan in order to overcome energy shortages has ordered to stop the use of air conditioners in all public office buildings in the country. Moreover to combat heat during summers which sometimes witnesses temperatures above 500 C in many parts of Pakistan, the premier directed all the civil servants to follow a new dress code to facilitate them at their work places.
During last winter season when the temperature dropped to below freezing in Islamabad, the federal secretary for water & power had ordered to close natural gas & electricity heaters in all office buildings to save energy in the country. Moreover she advised public servants to wear heavy clothes so that they feel comfortable during work and may not catch cold. To solve the worst energy crises in Pakistan, Energy Foundation chief has advised the government to use green energy resources like solar, geothermal, wind, water, bio & city waste, which are abundantly available all over the country with capacity to produce more than 200,000 MW of electricity. The use of green energy which is free, clean, environment friendly, renewable and sustainable source could provide low cost reliable electricity to our people in a short period of time. Moreover it will reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels, like crude oil, furnace oil, diesel oil, petrol & coal required for thermal power plants and shall save billions of dollars every year in the form of imports. Geothermal energy is being used for air-conditioning of buildings in seventy countries of the world. The US Government in order to save energy & protect the environment has provided geothermal energy in most public buildings which was initiated by President Clinton in 1999. Moreover the US Government has decided to install one million geothermal energy air-conditioned systems every year by 2016, in all buildings in the country. The geothermal energy air-conditioned systems do not use any gas, oil or coal and save up to 60% electricity. Moreover, no water is used in the system while millions of gallons of water are wasted everyday in the conventional air-conditioned systems. The people in Islamabad are facing acute shortage of water during summer season and in many sectors they have no water even for drinking. If the air-conditioned plants in Islamabad are operated on geothermal energy we can save the water which could be used for drinking. The geothermal energy air-conditioned system will save utility bills, 100% for gas, up to 60% for electricity and 100 % for water.
