How to Utilize
it Efficiently and
Get the Most Out of it
HVAC Systems-
he HVAC industry is playing a major role in today’s world.
THVAC systems are becoming an important component in
today’s modern infrastructure. Nowadays, these systems
can be seen in almost all the existing and upcoming commercial and
residential buildings. Infrastructural development and rapid
urbanization have contributed to the growth of the market for
HVAC systems in India. A recent study states that the HVAC market
in India will reach US $3.97 billion by 2019. The growth in
hospitality, retail and commercial sectors is playing a significant
role in boosting the demand for the system in the country, as these
sectors are applying HVAC systems on a large scale, including retail
outlets, shopping complexes, hotels and so on. Moreover, it is
expected that with FDI growth, many international players will
enter and start operations in the Indian retail market.
The Indian HVAC market captured majority revenue share in the
room air conditioning segment in 2013, and is expected to take over
once again by 2019. It is mainly because of portability, hassle-free
installation and less space requirement of room air conditioning
systems. On the other hand, centralized air conditioners are
comparatively costlier and are mostly used in large offices where
there is the requirement of more refrigeration for effective cooling.
Moreover, the market share of room air conditioners in India is
expected to grow during the next five years because of the
emergence of many residential projects.
Though the HVAC market in India is steadily approaching towards
growth and development, there are some major challenges it has to
overcome. The projects are not executed properly and the focus on
the life cycle cost is being overlooked. Proper standards and
guidelines are not being followed. The performance standard is
revised in every 2 years. The industry sets its product line-up for 1
year; but the next year, they have to change it again. The advent of
more and more multinational companies in India has increased the
expectations of customers. High cutting edge technology
equipments, state of the art execution followed by a great piece of
commissioning, operation and maintenance are the need of the hour.
The HVAC industry of India is marching ahead towards a bright
future making its presence felt in the global market and competing
with the top players.

HVAC Solution Providers, Smoothening
Workow in Enterprise Data Centers
In this modern age of technological advancements and
stiff competition, performing innovatively and
providing the best-possible services to the clients can
help organizations to survive and excel among the
competitors and take the business to the next level.
HTLAircon is an organization which is focused to provide
services to the customer on PAN India basis. To excel in
this initiative, the company has opened branches in other
growing cities, i.e. Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi.
It is targeting to attain a turnover of 100 Cr in the financial
year 2018. In the financial year 2015-16, the company has
grown by 38% which signifies tremendous potential of the
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning) market in
India. Being one of the top Dealers of DAIKIN India, it
gets the added advantage of the DAIKIN brand (one of
Japan's major air conditioning company). With the Prime
Minister's new Initiatives of “Make in India” and “Smart
City”, it feels that there will be a lot of scope for industrial
air conditioning in the days to come.
It also applauds the Govt’s initiative of GST, which will
also enhance the air conditioning market. The company
expects growth due to introduction of GST from July ‘17,
as the PAN India market will be boundary less with respect
to any state. It plans to diversify to Electrical and Plumbing,
Fire Fighting systems and graduate to a MEP (Mechanical,
Electrical and Plumbing) Contractor. It expects that the
“Swachch Bharat” initiative will create a lot of
opportunities for public health requirements which will
generate plumbing and drainage jobs in rapid pace. The
company feels that this opportunity can be easily encashed
as 60% of the company's employees are in the age bracket
of 25-35 years.
An Industrious Leader Trailblazing from the Front
The person responsible for leading HTL Aircon towards the
road of success is none other than Mr. Lavinder Duggal,
the Managing Director of HTLAircon Pvt. Ltd. He is a
BE in Mechanical Engineering from Govt. Engineering
College, Jabalpur. He has gathered vast experience of over
twenty five years in the field of air-conditioning while
working in various companies like M/s Batliboi & Co, and
eminent Dealers of M/s Voltas Ltd, M/s Carrier Aircon Ltd,
M/s Blue Star Ltd and now Daikin India Pvt.Ltd. Mr.
Duggal believes that the main qualities a leader should
possess are raising the standards, being dynamic and
thinking out of box and staying ahead of the curve. He
follows three founder guiding principles, which are: a) If a
thing is worth doing, it is worth doing it well; b) Quality is
something you give, when no one is looking at you; c) Let's
talk about it less and practice it more.
The industry at large has branded HVAC vendors as 'Show
Stoppers’ strictly, as quite a quantum of work and
dependency of other agencies is on HVAC Contractors.
This has earned a bad name for HVAC professionals and
that precisely irks the MD of HTL the most. Mr. Duggal is
out on a mission to change that opinion of the industry from
a black sheep to becoming the strength of project
management companies. He leads the company towards
being proactive and the least burden of project management
companies.
Client Satisfaction and Employee Enhancement: The
Prime Objective of HTL
The company ensures that it satisfies all the people who
have hired its services, be it clients, PMC, consultants,
architects, and so on. It feels that the element that ails this
industry is the lack of commitments and investments to
upgrade and train the professionals. Without these
investments, contractors want better margins. It also lays a
lot of stress on the training of employee in all aspects of
business, be it technicians, project team, customer service
team, accounts, HR, and back office. Technical skill
enhancement, soft skills, communication and leadership
training is imparted as a curriculum. This way the company
Wedon’t

the
RIGHT
way
,,
,,
is raising the bar of the industry which is its maxim.
It marches ahead on its successful journey relying on the
simple strategy of investing in people, technology and
training. Team HTL idolizes Sir Richard Branson and his
famous quote, “We take care of the employee and the
employee in turn takes care of the customers”. It considers
its team as its first customers. While others are after wealth,
the company believes in employee as its foremost wealth. It
provides them with the best of the training, best of tools and
latest technology for installing equipments, which not only
enhances productivity, but also has a distinct quality of
finish.
The design team is empowered with latest AutoCAD
Licensed version and it will soon be embarking on RIVET
for 3-D views and better understanding of services.
HTL has a team of professionals with an average of 20
years of industry experience while including the member of
top management council along with the CEO. The
continuous training and upgradation skills will match the
talent updated with the industry.
Providing Quality Service
HTL’s main motto is to provide high-quality services to its
customers. It provides a wide range of services and caters to
various sectors including banking and finance, residential,
commercial, corporate, hospitality, health clubs, factories,
education, gems and jewelers, supermarkets, and so on. It
has a widely accredited management delivery system which
covers selection of A-Grade materials; project management
chart and PERT chart; material tracker; MIS; pre-
commission checks and testing commission and handover.
It provides HVAC project delivery services, post-sales
services, consulting solutions, retrofits, and VRV & chilled
water solutions for all applications.
The service department of the company offers routine
maintenance of various splits, cassettes, ducted AC,
package unit, VRV and chillers. It services all brands of AC
for all tonnage. The company has zonalized service centers
for ease of access to customers. The company has fully
equipped service vans and certified technicians who provide
comprehensive and non-comprehensive upgrades and
replacement advice. The company provides the benefits of
regular routine maintenance and broad inspection to its
clients.
Tackling Problems Head-on with Innovative Solutions
HTL proceeds with the objective of constant quality
improvement. It aims at reducing attrition by providing

uring the last few weeks I have been spending considerable time with my friends from Learning and Development
Ddomain and during the course of our discussions many topics arose; the most fundamental and critical one being –
what is our purpose in this new age?
The new age is more than ever challenging because internet and technology have made knowledge accessibility a non-
competitive or non-strategic leveller. Today, anybody with a smart phone and internet access can reach any depths of
knowledge and doesn’t necessarily require a classroom and teacher to acquire knowledge. In this new age where the
economy is slow and every penny matters, the organizations and managers are equally not excited to nominate folks to
programs. In this age of instant gratification wherein participants believe that by merely attending a course nirvana is
granted, fundamentals are to be revisited and that includes relooking at what is the PURPOSE of the LEARNING
FUNCTION.
Learning & Development as a function has evolved with times and is again at cross roads today. Traditionally it was seen
as a function which simply facilitated ‘Fulfilling GAPS’, in terms of skills / competencies and thereby enabled the overall
development of capability building both at the individual and organizational level. Then came a phase where it became a
GET MOVED – OUR
PURPOSE IS NOT ‘GAP’
‘Evolution’
FULFILLMENT BUT
TO FACILITATE
WE MOVE OR

K Srinivas Rao

Expert’s Viewpoint
strategic function by enabling the business to identify its future leaders and groom them. In time, now it has again reached
a threshold of evolution.
Learning as a function is poised to enable Organizations and its employees to ‘EVOLVE’.
‘Evolution’ is drastically different from ‘Fulfilling Gaps’ in many ways, starting from the fact where Fulfilling Gaps is
perceived more as ‘near’ term and transactional in nature; whereas Evolution is more Futuristic and Strategic in purpose.
Fulfilling Gaps is seen more as a responsibility of Learning Function whereas Evolution is a co-creation process between
the various stakeholders. The biggest difference is Evolution thrives to make the organizations and its stakeholders Future
Ready in a more comprehensive fashion than we do now.
Evolution is not possible to achieve if the following fundamentals are not in place. The Learning function has to ensure that
foundations for these fundamentals are established:
We will Focus to make Organizations Future Ready
Fundamentally, the Learning function should focus on making the organization future ready. It could be in terms of making
it more flexible to adopt to change, or having a leadership pipeline in place, or Institutionalizing Values as cultural ethos
and thereby creating a unique DNA for retention or attraction of Talent and so on. This doesn’t mean Learning should not
focus on the daily bread & butter issues of gap fulfilment of immediate needs, but it also needs to draw a line on how much
do we invest in today and how much for tomorrow?
We are not responsible to make Employees Resume Sexy
Knowingly or unknowingly Learning function has made needs identification from Performance Appraisals as the Primary
and only source. More than often it has been observed that the needs identified during this process are more aligned to the
individual personal aspirations rather than business requirements. It is no wonder that at the end of the year we often
realize that much of the budget could have better utilized or optimized if we gave up the responsibility of making
employees resumes future ready.
We will focus on those who are geared up to make a difference
Learning is a two-way process. We can’t force adults into rooms and expect them to learn, absorb and implement if they
are not ready or keen to do so. So why do we invest equal amount of time and energy on those who are keen to learn and
those who are there only to warm the seats? It is imperative that we focus only on those who are geared up to make a
difference as that would be a winner for all the stakeholders.
We are not responsible for food & sanitation
In the quest for evolution, we can’t be held ransom on issues like food or sanitation of the training facilities etc. We should
refocus our energy on issues like the alignment of learning programs and aspirations, the applicability of the learning’s at
the workplace and so on. It’s time to dump the existing measuring parameters of our learning interventions and focus on
issues which would truly reflect the spirit of evolution.
We are ready to Risk it
As a true business partner, we should be accountable for some measurements which we strive for and should be ready to
risk our reputation on the same in a similar fashion in which business does. Our measurements should focus on how much
more businesses we could generate, how much the productivity and profitability grew, how ready are we for future in terms
of a leadership pipeline, how ready are we in terms of organizations overall capability, what is our build v/s buy ratio and
so on. Evolution isn’t easy, but it is the top priority in all the CEO agenda. Evolution is the opportunity for us to recast
ourselves from being perceived as a reactive support function to being projected as a futuristic business partner. It is up to
us now that how we make the move and move on…

Solar energy has nowadays become the most reliable and affordable source of electricity
implementing nationwide development to reduce global warming pollution, which makes
the country cleaner, saving fuel costs as well. Usually small-scale Solar photovoltaic
(PV) systems, focusing on building roofs, whereas large-scale PV
systems and Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems
represent the majority of Solar’s complete electricity-
generating capacity. Solar energy has the capability to
provide a significant amount of electricity in both
environmentally as well as economically attractive way.
Solar Energy is Increasingly Becoming Cheaper
Observations and recent data suggest that the prices for rooftop
PV systems have declined markedly in recent years. The rising
profit is a result of decrease in technology prices, innovative
financing, and developed networks of Solar installers and financial
partners. However, Solar consumers are paying very little; Tax credits,
rebates, and other support in leading states could cut the total costs of a
rooftop system to under $10,000, which will supply electricity with a fixed rate
for a longer period of time. Large-scale PV project costs have fallen more than
household systems, 60 percent less than residential Solar on a per-watt basis. And
about CSP system the costs are not reduced as like small scale PV or Large scale PV, but
it's capable of being storage of sun's energy as heat, so that it can utilize when there is no
sunlight.
The Reasonable Availability of Solar Energy in Northern Climates
PV generation requires the amount of sunlight, which differs by less than 30% for a few
countries, still making Solar energy feasible in northern climates. Whereas in sunny locations
like Los Angeles or Phoenix, a five-kilowatt home rooftop PV system produces an around 7,000
to 8,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which is approximately similar to the electricity use of a
typical U.S. household. These same systems in Portland, Maine (in northern climates) would
Highlights
TheRemarkableEmergenceof
Solar EnergySolar Energyas a Key player in the US
produce 85 % of what it would in Los Angeles, 95 % of what it would in Miami, and 6% more than it would in
Houston. Florida and Hawaii (in the southwest) are the best examples for CSP.
Rapid growth of Solar Energy
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research, the U.S. Solar energy grew by 6.2
gigawatts in 2014, a 30 percent increase over the previous year and representing nearly $18 billion in new
investment. Before 2014, the United States had more than 480,000 Solar systems installed, adding up to 13,400
megawatts (MW), sufficient to generate 2.4 million typical U.S. households. In 2013 the U.S. Solar industry hired
more than 140,000 people that is a 53% raise over 2010, and almost $15 % investment in the U. S. Economy yearly.
Today, there are more than 6,000 Solar companies in the U.S, penetrating over all 50 states.
Rooftop Solar, not only improving the environment of the company, but also reduces the operating costs and PV
systems create electricity without water, unlike coal, nuclear, and other power plants. Similarly, Solar panel creates
electricity without air or carbon pollution, solid waste or resources other than sunlight.
Major Steps towards Accelerating the Growth in Solar Energy
What are the necessary steps that should be taken on this rising situation? First and most important is each state
should maintain and need to increase the strength in their key policies for operating the renewable energy
investments, including Solar. The next important thing is the federal investment tax credit for Solar’s move is set to
reduce at the end of 2016 from 30% to 10%; each state needs to clinch about Solar that plays a vital role in their
plants to lessen emissions to follow with the Environmental Protection Agency’s new carbon standards. Rooftop
Solar will help policy makers to elect the most suitable way to help other people for Solar adoption. Storage of
energy will assist at the time of the blackout. Companies should provide shelter from rooftop to large-scale projects
so that it could reshape their business models and get benefited by reducing costs through substantial economies of
scale, increasing cell and module efficiencies, enhanced inverters and mounting systems, fine heat transfer, and
streamlined transactions.
Solar prevails over wind and coal
According to Researchers, it has been mentioned that coming five years in the U.S. PV market, which does not
include concentrated Solar plants has indicated by four times more developed than Wind Energy and Coal. The
natural gas added greater share of new generating capacity. It has been expected a monumental growth in California
and Arizona market where newly implemented regions include Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Louisiana. Retail

Connecting Dark
Data with IoT
-By Adrian Hinrichsen, Marketing & Business Development Director of Datumize
The above infographic is astonishing when you
really delve into the numbers. The last few years
have been quite interesting when it comes to the
IoT space.
I have personally taken a back seat and watched how the
industry has sprouted, from an embryonic platform to an
early catalyst for possibly becoming the next “Skynet” (no
pun intended). For some time now pundits have been
predicting great things for the Internet of Things (IoT),
from smart cities and smart homes to smart energy grids,
driverless cars and autonomous robots. What is in no doubt
are the number of “things” that now have “connected
capability”, and it is rising fast; according to one leading
analyst, 6.4 billion connected things will be in use by the
end of this year, an increase of 30% from last year, meaning
5 million new things are being connected up to the internet
every single day. The term internet of things (IoT) was
coined round about the turn of the millennium and is widely
held to mean the connection of “things”. There are a
number of factors driving IoT. First, consumers are
demanding greater convenience, speed of delivery and
personalisation of the goods and services they consume.
There are also other drivers for the IoT explosion we are
witnessing. The costs of infrastructure are on a downward
trajectory. Sensors are becoming smaller, cheaper and more
energy efficient and battery life is improving. The further
innovation of cloud computing platforms and the
emergence of specialised IoT services on them mean that
the data collection and analysis necessary for wide scale
deployment are more accessible.
Here you can see one infographic from Deloitte in 2014 that
shows the value they analysed for smart homes and smart
cars. Interestingly enough these percentages have not
differed too much till now.
Is IoT Fact or Future?
IoT is right at the top of the “hype” cycle and firmly
perched to what everyone is talking about. Mckinsey & Co
predict that the economic impact of the IoT could be
between $3.9tn and $11.1tn per year by 2025. That is a
huge industry considering it was only born 16 years ago.
One of the main question I get asked a lot is “where do you
see IoT making the most advantage”? Currently the top
industries are domestic/leisure, utilities/energy and
transport/automotive. At Datumize we are seeing traction in
all these sectors with each project very much different to the
next. Our everyday environment is changing, sometimes
without us even noticing, however, our lives are being
made easier for it.
Although we are moving quickly to an IoT environment, we
are also facing “Barriers to connection”, where businesses
and consumers do not share the same vision of IoT. One
suspicion is the concern for security and how IoT
technology could be hijacked and manipulated by those for

ill intent. Other factors are more technical in nature, and
seem to be around operating systems, pricing and current
offerings. All of these factors will have to be overcome if
we are to achieve the holy grail of “smart Cities” and
connection of things.
In Conclusion
IoT is a concept which is no longer discussed only by
technical scientists, it has very much moved into the
mainstream. Certain industries have embraced IoT
more than others, for example domestic/leisure,
utilities and transport are leading the way. We are
all consumers and citizens, and a great deal of
education needs to occur before the reality of IoT
is understood and accepted by us at large. Data
is the key to IoT and organisations seems to
want to get their hands on that “Dark data”,
but do not know what to do with it once they
have it, or how to turn it into a value for
their business. It is here that obstacles
occur in our everyday business
environment as the resources needed
have currently not been implemented
into the infrastructure and this will
not happen until businesses
understand the value that is passing
them by on a daily basis within their
organisation.
IoT is potentially the most exciting
technical revolution to have happened in
a long time, and if we are able to help
businesses and consumers connect in a
smarter way, help build the resources and
infrastructure to support this new
environment, then the way we live and work
will change forever, in a very positive way.

ENVIRONME
FOR
Businder the Environmental Responsibility of the Corporates, it is expected to operate in a manner that
Uprotects the environment. Going beyond business activities and taking care of the environment can
bring business benefits. Now corporate companies have realized that business activity in an
environmentally responsible way is not only a legal duty but also a responsibility. Over the past few years,
stakeholders increasingly require corporate organizations to become more environmentally aware and
responsible. CSR activities of corporate organizations affect their bottom line and the long-term success of
their business.
The environmental aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility had been debated over the past few decades
and it's a hot matter of any business house. Earlier in the traditional business model, environmental
protection has been considered only in relation to the “public interest”, but now it's a part of business.
Governments of all over the world have maintained the principle of environmental responsibility for
ensuring environmental conservation and management as well.
Business Organizations Should Consider these Environmental Points
Business organizations should store waste safely and securely, make sure it is treated appropriately and
also be ensured that it is collected by an authorized body such as your local authority or a licensed waste

contractor. You can also manage waste for recycling by separating paper, plastic, metals and glass and for
those organizations that are in the food businesses they need to separate food waste for recycling.
Be sure that your business activities do not cause a statutory nuisance like producing smoke, noise, gases,
odor, fumes, accumulating rubbish or light pollution which could affect someone's health. If your business
activities pose an imminent threat to the environment, then notify the relevant enforcing body to take steps
to prevent the damage and if your activities also cause actual environmental damage then you must take a
remedial action to repair the damage. Before directing effluent detergent and waste chemicals into sewage,
you should get permission from relevant body.
Take care of Hazardous substances before throw-outs
The business organization needs to think about the risks posed by chemicals or hazardous substances to the
environment. Hazardous substances include oil, chemicals, pesticides, ozone-depleting substances,
radioactive materials, electrical or electronic equipment solvents and biocides. You must ensure that your
organization is aware about the environmental risks for every hazardous substance which you store, use,
produce or dispose of at work.
If you are in manufacturing business then you must comply with the restriction of the Use of Certain

Hazardous Substances such as lead, mercury and calcium. Manufacturers are prevented from
placing products on the market with more than a certain amount of hazardous substances.
If you work with equipment containing ODS or fluorinated gases then there are requirements that
you must ensure prevention and repair of leaks, checking for leakages and record keeping
recovery for the purpose of recycling.
Store of Wastage and Recycling
Business organizations must ensure that any waste they produce as a result of their business
operations is stored safely and securely, treated appropriately and collected for disposal or
recycling by an authorized body to do so. The regulations of waste management require all
businesses to separate the following forms of commercial waste for recycling plastic, paper,
metals, and glass.
Conservation and Biodiversity to be protected by the business organizations
Biodiversity refers to all species of animals and plants. The increasing human activities cause the
loss of biodiversity in the world. All types of business organizations operating near these types of
area should be aware, and take responsibilities for conservation and protecting biodiversity. This
not only applies to land-based industries such as farming and forestry but also to all factories,
industries, offices and other business activities based on or near biodiversity areas.
Protected areas like UNESCO biospheres include local nature reserves, areas of natural beauty
that needs conservation, the heritage of wildlife habitats and national parks of the country.

Leader’s Insights
Acompany begins from engaging top executives to
develop business strategies and goals. They
actively govern business ideas, structure, products
or services, business location and business market.
Focusing on these aspects to implement an effective and
unique program is the primary objective for a foundation.
Engagement, communication, creativity and innovation,
project management and culture connect is the vision of any
startup. It is also necessary to make sure the right people are
getting involved at the right places. All employees should
have the opportunity to contribute to the shared purpose and
also enough resources and suitable environmental
conditions should be provided to encourage employee
growth. To establish a small startup, it needs to work on the
changing ideas, concepts and procedures regularly to adapt
to inevitable and unexpected problems.
The Big Idea
A splendid idea is the secret ingredient for any innovative
organization. A big idea gives an organization the high
ground in the marketplace. It stands out like a beacon,
attracting new customers and employees too, often without
the need for expensive advertisement.
A useful and unique idea can make a huge difference in the
profit of the business. It can easily attract right kinds of
funding in easier and cheaper ways. This is how it secures
the position of the organization in the future. And that’s
how a big idea makes an organization more profitable, more
visible, and more attractive in a low cost.
Individual benefit vs corporate benefit
Spending time with employees side-by-side and
understanding how they work and explaining to them about
new technologies and strategies can create positive impact
on their lives at work. A good employee can always develop
their skills by the training program in their company. It is
not just about implementing the right policies or hiring the
right people, but also providing new insights on how
employee training and development are conducted in other
companies and organizations and how to go about
achieving the employee development goals. This is not only
beneficial for the employee’s career growth but would also
ensure that the company’s services are on the right hands.
Proper training helps to develop the talents of their staffs
and also easily harness the future of the market. This helps
to expose the employee to various experts in the field with
different perspectives and opinions with regards to
employee engagement and also better understand the
company’s needs and objectives.
Collaboration brings out new ideas of other
organizations
Today, the biggest breakthroughs happen when people with
a collective vision join together and share ideas,
information, and work. Most top CEOs don’t do all the
work themselves. Their success as an individual has now
put them in a position where they are able to hire others
who can work together to accomplish a single goal.
Collaboration is the key element for businesses embarking
on the “good to great” journey. This entails more than just
people working together; but the entire process comes
under one shelter. Creative collaboration encourages new
idea and services of other expertise to join forces with the
existing brand and set the foundation for innovation and
success. This also includes learning to coach and the
potential to inspire and motivate to form a strong team or
foundation.
Change is the daily attire of any Business
As societies continue to evolve and changing demand
creates the need for new products and services, businesses
often are forced to make changes to stay competitive. The
businesses that continue to survive and even thrive are
usually the ones that most readily adapt to change. The

economy market trending with new ideas and technology
forces a business to reevaluate its methods of operation.
Factors like the entrance of a new competitor into a market,
innovations in technology, desire to growth, need to
improve processes and government regulation can cause a
business to change its planning and strategy. Constant
change is essential—as it’s the only way to adapt quickly
with the market change.
A leader can only lead to a successful organization
An organization is never known without its founder. He is
the thinker behind the thought. Leadership has to start at the
top but it isn’t great unless it spreads throughout the
organization. The most successful companies recognize
effective leaders and harness them to maximize results.
Anybody who has ever watched interviews with managers
or coaches of professional sports teams will have heard
plenty of discussion of the need for leaders throughout the
team. A leader should encourage teamwork and inspire
others to perform. Companies demand from the leaders
global fluency and flexibility, building the ability to
innovate and acquire new levels of understanding of rapidly
changing technologies and new disciplines and fields.
A team leader should aim to build a star team and not a
team of stars. An entrepreneur as a leader can drive the
whole organization together to change the vision into a
reality. The support and guidance to their employees can
bring out new innovations and help them to achieve it.

WEATHERIZATION
PROGRAM
- NEED, INSIGHT,
AND IMPLEMENTATION
| February 2018 |40
Insights into Weatherization
procedure
Typically following steps are taken:
Step1: In the Weatherization process
home’s audit is done. The auditor
keeps focus on to check:
• Areas like windows, pipes, wiring
that penetrate ceiling and floor,
doors, sealing cracks, etc., for high-
potential heat loss.
• Light fixtures near attic space
• heat loss due to air-duct
• dampers of the exhaust fans
• pipe condition
• wall, floor, and ceilings condition
• door and window sealings
• and more
An auditor then proposes the changes
which can make home more energy
efficient.
Step2: Utility companies call for a bid
to implement changes from its
qualified contractor network.
Step3: A selected contractor
implements changes in the home.
Step4: Utility company asks its
inspector to validate the changes
incorporated in the home.
Step5: Once the inspector approves the
changes then the Utility company pays
to the contractor.
The normal flow mentioned above
might need to adjust to handle cases
where low-earning families are not
meeting income, age, earnings, etc
criteria.
Implementation of the
Weatherization Program
While implementing the solution, we
considered a list of actors. These are:
• Administrator
• Customer
• Auditor
• Inspector
• Contractor
These actors are using the web-based
portal and mobile application. The
web-based application is developed on
the Windows platform. The mobile
application is developed using
Xamarin.
The web-based portal works under the
contemporary browsers. The mobile
application works on iOS and Android.
Summary
The solution is designed and developed
mainly for the US residential market.
However, the author believes the
similar need does exist in all markets
including India.
or energy saving, a
FWeatherization program is
quite common to be
implemented by the Utility companies
in the western part of the world. The
program is mainly run for the low-
earning families. This article
emphasizes on IWORKETCH’s
experience on building a platform for
the US-based company.
What is weatherization?
As per Wiki, Weatherization
(American English) or weatherproofing
(British English) is the practice of
protecting a building and its interior
from the elements, particularly from
sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and
of modifying a building to reduce
energy consumption and optimize
energy efficiency.
Why is weatherization needed?
One thinks that if my house is well
insulated then I am good as far as the
heat protection of the home is a
concern. It is true that various types of
insulation can block drafts of the cold
winds and protect the home. It gives
protection from the “Conductive” heat
flow.
We still need weatherization to protect.
It primarily reduces “Convective” heat
flow.
Weather Watch
41| February 2018|
We know that HVAC systems are widely used in
organizations and data centers. They control the
surrounding environment (like temperature,
humidity, air filtering, etc), and contribute to maintaining
the comfort and safety of the building occupants. Everyone
wants to get the most efficient HVAC system, but they have
to make sure that proper energy-saving protocols are
followed while doing so. They have to answer a few
questions to ensure efficient HVAC utilization like: If the
HVAC system operates as efficiently as it could? Is it
compliant with health safety and environmental
regulations? Are they facing continuous maintenance issues
related to HVAC system? Is the HVAC system in good
shape, or is it costing them?
Assessing any facility first includes checking out the
HVAC. Organizations have to determine how much time is
left in the system’s lifecycle. An extremely old HVAC
system could be consuming excess energy and wasting
money. It could also lead to indoor quality issues and other
building maintenance-related problems. Organizations
should ensure that the system is working for them and not
against them.
Making sure that the Organization has the Right Fit
If an organization is new to the complex world of heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), it should know
how vital it is that the system is matched to the
organizational needs, as this is the only way to get both
fully effective and efficient heating and air conditioning.
To know about the best-suited HVAC system, calling on an
HVAC professional is the only way forward. They will
provide better information on whether one will require a
central or local system, the size and best placement, as well
as estimated pricing.
Scheduling Annual Servicing
For the most efficient air conditioning and heating
system, organizations should make sure to get an
annual inspection and service. Winter is usually the best
time for HVAC maintenance, to make certain that the
heating system will survive to coldest months, but any time
is beneficial, and can help prevent expensive, inopportune
breakdowns in the future.
Regular Upgradation of HVAC Systems
Regular upgradation and maintenance is a key towards
efficient working of HVAC systems. Organizations have to
realize that if they have to call in the HVAC maintenance
team more regularly than once a year, then it may be time to
upgrade the current system.
Moreover, old HVAC systems consume more energy than
usually required and therefore add a hefty cost to the
monthly utility bills. Not only this, but the air quality may
also be on the wrong side of healthy. If one is thinking
about upgrading to a new high-tech HVAC system, it is
highly likely that it could save them between 30 and 40
percent on energy costs.
Keeping up with Environmental Regulations
The prime responsibility of every organization is ensuring
the health and safety of its employees. Health, safety and
environmental regulations are set by the government for a
reason so that organizations and individuals are wise
enough to stick to them, or risk putting the employees in
danger and unknowingly harming the environment.

Tech Talk
An organization can
book a professional for
HVAC maintenance if it is
not sure of whether the HVAC
system is up to code. Proper HVAC
maintenance can help ensure safety as well as the system’s
overall efficiency.
Ensuring the Organization has Good Controls
If you don’t have the controls you need on your HVAC
system, you’re probably not getting the most efficient air
conditioning and heating. Good controls allow you to heat
and cool parts of your home only when you need it, making
sure you’re not using unnecessary energy in parts of the
home you don’t need heated or cooled, straining your
system’s capacity and hemorrhaging money!
Monthly Replacement of Filters
In addition to yearly maintenance, organizations should
take it upon themselves and make sure that the system’s
filters are changed every month, as these can get clogged
and prevent efficient air conditioning and heating. Keeping
an annual supply of filters can save time, energy and
resources, and changing them regularly, would lead to a
hassle-free HVAC experience.
Considering the air quality
There are more important things to be kept in mind for
efficient air conditioning and heating than what meets the
eye, and providing consistent air quality is one of those
hidden assets. To improve the air quality, replacing the
entire HVAC system is not a necessity; instead, if
organizations consider opting for additional ventilation
solutions, it can turn out to be very helpful.
An HVAC system can be properly installed in any
organization and its successful implementation can be
ensured by following the above given strategies. Proper
maintenance and regular checkups can help in extending the
lifeline of HVAC systems and can save costs on heating and
cooling expenses.

  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 4. he HVAC industry is playing a major role in today’s world. THVAC systems are becoming an important component in today’s modern infrastructure. Nowadays, these systems can be seen in almost all the existing and upcoming commercial and residential buildings. Infrastructural development and rapid urbanization have contributed to the growth of the market for HVAC systems in India. A recent study states that the HVAC market in India will reach US $3.97 billion by 2019. The growth in hospitality, retail and commercial sectors is playing a significant role in boosting the demand for the system in the country, as these sectors are applying HVAC systems on a large scale, including retail outlets, shopping complexes, hotels and so on. Moreover, it is expected that with FDI growth, many international players will enter and start operations in the Indian retail market. The Indian HVAC market captured majority revenue share in the room air conditioning segment in 2013, and is expected to take over once again by 2019. It is mainly because of portability, hassle-free installation and less space requirement of room air conditioning systems. On the other hand, centralized air conditioners are comparatively costlier and are mostly used in large offices where there is the requirement of more refrigeration for effective cooling. Moreover, the market share of room air conditioners in India is expected to grow during the next five years because of the emergence of many residential projects. Though the HVAC market in India is steadily approaching towards growth and development, there are some major challenges it has to overcome. The projects are not executed properly and the focus on the life cycle cost is being overlooked. Proper standards and guidelines are not being followed. The performance standard is revised in every 2 years. The industry sets its product line-up for 1 year; but the next year, they have to change it again. The advent of more and more multinational companies in India has increased the expectations of customers. High cutting edge technology equipments, state of the art execution followed by a great piece of commissioning, operation and maintenance are the need of the hour. The HVAC industry of India is marching ahead towards a bright future making its presence felt in the global market and competing with the top players.

  • 12. In this modern age of technological advancements and stiff competition, performing innovatively and providing the best-possible services to the clients can help organizations to survive and excel among the competitors and take the business to the next level. HTLAircon is an organization which is focused to provide services to the customer on PAN India basis. To excel in this initiative, the company has opened branches in other growing cities, i.e. Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi. It is targeting to attain a turnover of 100 Cr in the financial year 2018. In the financial year 2015-16, the company has grown by 38% which signifies tremendous potential of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning) market in India. Being one of the top Dealers of DAIKIN India, it gets the added advantage of the DAIKIN brand (one of Japan's major air conditioning company). With the Prime Minister's new Initiatives of “Make in India” and “Smart City”, it feels that there will be a lot of scope for industrial air conditioning in the days to come. It also applauds the Govt’s initiative of GST, which will also enhance the air conditioning market. The company expects growth due to introduction of GST from July ‘17, as the PAN India market will be boundary less with respect to any state. It plans to diversify to Electrical and Plumbing, Fire Fighting systems and graduate to a MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) Contractor. It expects that the “Swachch Bharat” initiative will create a lot of opportunities for public health requirements which will generate plumbing and drainage jobs in rapid pace. The company feels that this opportunity can be easily encashed as 60% of the company's employees are in the age bracket of 25-35 years. An Industrious Leader Trailblazing from the Front The person responsible for leading HTL Aircon towards the road of success is none other than Mr. Lavinder Duggal, the Managing Director of HTLAircon Pvt. Ltd. He is a BE in Mechanical Engineering from Govt. Engineering College, Jabalpur. He has gathered vast experience of over twenty five years in the field of air-conditioning while working in various companies like M/s Batliboi & Co, and eminent Dealers of M/s Voltas Ltd, M/s Carrier Aircon Ltd, M/s Blue Star Ltd and now Daikin India Pvt.Ltd. Mr. Duggal believes that the main qualities a leader should possess are raising the standards, being dynamic and thinking out of box and staying ahead of the curve. He follows three founder guiding principles, which are: a) If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing it well; b) Quality is something you give, when no one is looking at you; c) Let's talk about it less and practice it more. The industry at large has branded HVAC vendors as 'Show Stoppers’ strictly, as quite a quantum of work and dependency of other agencies is on HVAC Contractors. This has earned a bad name for HVAC professionals and that precisely irks the MD of HTL the most. Mr. Duggal is out on a mission to change that opinion of the industry from a black sheep to becoming the strength of project management companies. He leads the company towards being proactive and the least burden of project management companies. Client Satisfaction and Employee Enhancement: The Prime Objective of HTL The company ensures that it satisfies all the people who have hired its services, be it clients, PMC, consultants, architects, and so on. It feels that the element that ails this industry is the lack of commitments and investments to upgrade and train the professionals. Without these investments, contractors want better margins. It also lays a lot of stress on the training of employee in all aspects of business, be it technicians, project team, customer service team, accounts, HR, and back office. Technical skill enhancement, soft skills, communication and leadership training is imparted as a curriculum. This way the company Wedon’t DO things differently, we DO it the RIGHT way ,, ,,

  • 18. uring the last few weeks I have been spending considerable time with my friends from Learning and Development Ddomain and during the course of our discussions many topics arose; the most fundamental and critical one being – what is our purpose in this new age? The new age is more than ever challenging because internet and technology have made knowledge accessibility a non- competitive or non-strategic leveller. Today, anybody with a smart phone and internet access can reach any depths of knowledge and doesn’t necessarily require a classroom and teacher to acquire knowledge. In this new age where the economy is slow and every penny matters, the organizations and managers are equally not excited to nominate folks to programs. In this age of instant gratification wherein participants believe that by merely attending a course nirvana is granted, fundamentals are to be revisited and that includes relooking at what is the PURPOSE of the LEARNING FUNCTION. Learning & Development as a function has evolved with times and is again at cross roads today. Traditionally it was seen as a function which simply facilitated ‘Fulfilling GAPS’, in terms of skills / competencies and thereby enabled the overall development of capability building both at the individual and organizational level. Then came a phase where it became a GET MOVED – OUR PURPOSE IS NOT ‘GAP’ ‘Evolution’ FULFILLMENT BUT TO FACILITATE WE MOVE OR | February 2018 |16

  • 20. strategic function by enabling the business to identify its future leaders and groom them. In time, now it has again reached a threshold of evolution. Learning as a function is poised to enable Organizations and its employees to ‘EVOLVE’. ‘Evolution’ is drastically different from ‘Fulfilling Gaps’ in many ways, starting from the fact where Fulfilling Gaps is perceived more as ‘near’ term and transactional in nature; whereas Evolution is more Futuristic and Strategic in purpose. Fulfilling Gaps is seen more as a responsibility of Learning Function whereas Evolution is a co-creation process between the various stakeholders. The biggest difference is Evolution thrives to make the organizations and its stakeholders Future Ready in a more comprehensive fashion than we do now. Evolution is not possible to achieve if the following fundamentals are not in place. The Learning function has to ensure that foundations for these fundamentals are established: We will Focus to make Organizations Future Ready Fundamentally, the Learning function should focus on making the organization future ready. It could be in terms of making it more flexible to adopt to change, or having a leadership pipeline in place, or Institutionalizing Values as cultural ethos and thereby creating a unique DNA for retention or attraction of Talent and so on. This doesn’t mean Learning should not focus on the daily bread & butter issues of gap fulfilment of immediate needs, but it also needs to draw a line on how much do we invest in today and how much for tomorrow? We are not responsible to make Employees Resume Sexy Knowingly or unknowingly Learning function has made needs identification from Performance Appraisals as the Primary and only source. More than often it has been observed that the needs identified during this process are more aligned to the individual personal aspirations rather than business requirements. It is no wonder that at the end of the year we often realize that much of the budget could have better utilized or optimized if we gave up the responsibility of making employees resumes future ready. We will focus on those who are geared up to make a difference Learning is a two-way process. We can’t force adults into rooms and expect them to learn, absorb and implement if they are not ready or keen to do so. So why do we invest equal amount of time and energy on those who are keen to learn and those who are there only to warm the seats? It is imperative that we focus only on those who are geared up to make a difference as that would be a winner for all the stakeholders. We are not responsible for food & sanitation In the quest for evolution, we can’t be held ransom on issues like food or sanitation of the training facilities etc. We should refocus our energy on issues like the alignment of learning programs and aspirations, the applicability of the learning’s at the workplace and so on. It’s time to dump the existing measuring parameters of our learning interventions and focus on issues which would truly reflect the spirit of evolution. We are ready to Risk it As a true business partner, we should be accountable for some measurements which we strive for and should be ready to risk our reputation on the same in a similar fashion in which business does. Our measurements should focus on how much more businesses we could generate, how much the productivity and profitability grew, how ready are we for future in terms of a leadership pipeline, how ready are we in terms of organizations overall capability, what is our build v/s buy ratio and so on. Evolution isn’t easy, but it is the top priority in all the CEO agenda. Evolution is the opportunity for us to recast ourselves from being perceived as a reactive support function to being projected as a futuristic business partner. It is up to us now that how we make the move and move on… | February 2018 |18

  • 24. Solar energy has nowadays become the most reliable and affordable source of electricity implementing nationwide development to reduce global warming pollution, which makes the country cleaner, saving fuel costs as well. Usually small-scale Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, focusing on building roofs, whereas large-scale PV systems and Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems represent the majority of Solar’s complete electricity- generating capacity. Solar energy has the capability to provide a significant amount of electricity in both environmentally as well as economically attractive way. Solar Energy is Increasingly Becoming Cheaper Observations and recent data suggest that the prices for rooftop PV systems have declined markedly in recent years. The rising profit is a result of decrease in technology prices, innovative financing, and developed networks of Solar installers and financial partners. However, Solar consumers are paying very little; Tax credits, rebates, and other support in leading states could cut the total costs of a rooftop system to under $10,000, which will supply electricity with a fixed rate for a longer period of time. Large-scale PV project costs have fallen more than household systems, 60 percent less than residential Solar on a per-watt basis. And about CSP system the costs are not reduced as like small scale PV or Large scale PV, but it's capable of being storage of sun's energy as heat, so that it can utilize when there is no sunlight. The Reasonable Availability of Solar Energy in Northern Climates PV generation requires the amount of sunlight, which differs by less than 30% for a few countries, still making Solar energy feasible in northern climates. Whereas in sunny locations like Los Angeles or Phoenix, a five-kilowatt home rooftop PV system produces an around 7,000 to 8,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which is approximately similar to the electricity use of a typical U.S. household. These same systems in Portland, Maine (in northern climates) would Highlights TheRemarkableEmergenceof Solar EnergySolar Energyas a Key player in the US

Rapid growth of Solar Energy According to the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research, the U.S. Solar energy grew by 6.2 gigawatts in 2014, a 30 percent increase over the previous year and representing nearly $18 billion in new investment. Before 2014, the United States had more than 480,000 Solar systems installed, adding up to 13,400 megawatts (MW), sufficient to generate 2.4 million typical U.S. households. In 2013 the U.S. Solar industry hired more than 140,000 people that is a 53% raise over 2010, and almost $15 % investment in the U. S. Economy yearly. Today, there are more than 6,000 Solar companies in the U.S, penetrating over all 50 states. Rooftop Solar, not only improving the environment of the company, but also reduces the operating costs and PV systems create electricity without water, unlike coal, nuclear, and other power plants. Similarly, Solar panel creates electricity without air or carbon pollution, solid waste or resources other than sunlight. Major Steps towards Accelerating the Growth in Solar Energy What are the necessary steps that should be taken on this rising situation? First and most important is each state should maintain and need to increase the strength in their key policies for operating the renewable energy investments, including Solar. The next important thing is the federal investment tax credit for Solar’s move is set to reduce at the end of 2016 from 30% to 10%; each state needs to clinch about Solar that plays a vital role in their plants to lessen emissions to follow with the Environmental Protection Agency’s new carbon standards. Rooftop Solar will help policy makers to elect the most suitable way to help other people for Solar adoption. Storage of energy will assist at the time of the blackout. Companies should provide shelter from rooftop to large-scale projects so that it could reshape their business models and get benefited by reducing costs through substantial economies of scale, increasing cell and module efficiencies, enhanced inverters and mounting systems, fine heat transfer, and streamlined transactions. Solar prevails over wind and coal According to Researchers, it has been mentioned that coming five years in the U.S. PV market, which does not include concentrated Solar plants has indicated by four times more developed than Wind Energy and Coal. The natural gas added greater share of new generating capacity. It has been expected a monumental growth in California and Arizona market where newly implemented regions include Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Louisiana. Retail rate parity has also been increased since 2016 and expanded beyond California and followed by Nevada, Massachusetts, Arizona and New Jersey, made an organized Solar market. New Mexico, Missouri and Maryland are also rapidly growing in Solar implementation. New Mexico’s 88MW gain in Solar capacity made it top 10 state for Solar development in 2016. New York, Texas and Hawaii added more than 100 MW of Solar capacity. In the regions of Southeast, Georgia and Tennessee observed increase in utility-scale Solar, at the same time Louisiana and South Carolina achieved continuous growth in the residential Solar sector. From 2016, it has been observed that Residential PV continues to be the rapidly growing market segment in the U.S. Solar sector, managing three continuous years a successive annual growth.

  • 28. Connecting Dark Data with IoT -By Adrian Hinrichsen, Marketing & Business Development Director of Datumize The above infographic is astonishing when you really delve into the numbers. The last few years have been quite interesting when it comes to the IoT space. I have personally taken a back seat and watched how the industry has sprouted, from an embryonic platform to an early catalyst for possibly becoming the next “Skynet” (no pun intended). For some time now pundits have been predicting great things for the Internet of Things (IoT), from smart cities and smart homes to smart energy grids, driverless cars and autonomous robots. What is in no doubt are the number of “things” that now have “connected capability”, and it is rising fast; according to one leading analyst, 6.4 billion connected things will be in use by the end of this year, an increase of 30% from last year, meaning 5 million new things are being connected up to the internet every single day. The term internet of things (IoT) was coined round about the turn of the millennium and is widely held to mean the connection of “things”. There are a number of factors driving IoT. First, consumers are demanding greater convenience, speed of delivery and personalisation of the goods and services they consume. There are also other drivers for the IoT explosion we are witnessing. The costs of infrastructure are on a downward trajectory. Sensors are becoming smaller, cheaper and more energy efficient and battery life is improving. The further innovation of cloud computing platforms and the emergence of specialised IoT services on them mean that the data collection and analysis necessary for wide scale deployment are more accessible. Here you can see one infographic from Deloitte in 2014 that shows the value they analysed for smart homes and smart cars. Interestingly enough these percentages have not differed too much till now. Is IoT Fact or Future? IoT is right at the top of the “hype” cycle and firmly perched to what everyone is talking about. Mckinsey & Co predict that the economic impact of the IoT could be between $3.9tn and $11.1tn per year by 2025. That is a huge industry considering it was only born 16 years ago. One of the main question I get asked a lot is “where do you see IoT making the most advantage”? Currently the top industries are domestic/leisure, utilities/energy and transport/automotive. At Datumize we are seeing traction in all these sectors with each project very much different to the next. Our everyday environment is changing, sometimes without us even noticing, however, our lives are being made easier for it. Although we are moving quickly to an IoT environment, we are also facing “Barriers to connection”, where businesses and consumers do not share the same vision of IoT.

Other factors are more technical in nature, and seem to be around operating systems, pricing and current offerings. All of these factors will have to be overcome if we are to achieve the holy grail of “smart Cities” and connection of things. In Conclusion IoT is a concept which is no longer discussed only by technical scientists, it has very much moved into the mainstream. Certain industries have embraced IoT more than others, for example domestic/leisure, utilities and transport are leading the way. We are all consumers and citizens, and a great deal of education needs to occur before the reality of IoT is understood and accepted by us at large. Data is the key to IoT and organisations seems to want to get their hands on that “Dark data”, but do not know what to do with it once they have it, or how to turn it into a value for their business. It is here that obstacles occur in our everyday business environment as the resources needed have currently not been implemented into the infrastructure and this will not happen until businesses understand the value that is passing them by on a daily basis within their organisation. IoT is potentially the most exciting technical revolution to have happened in a long time, and if we are able to help businesses and consumers connect in a smarter way, help build the resources and infrastructure to support this new environment, then the way we live and work will change forever, in a very positive way. 27| February 2018|
  • 30. ENVIRONME FOR Businder the Environmental Responsibility of the Corporates, it is expected to operate in a manner that Uprotects the environment. Going beyond business activities and taking care of the environment can bring business benefits. Now corporate companies have realized that business activity in an environmentally responsible way is not only a legal duty but also a responsibility. Over the past few years, stakeholders increasingly require corporate organizations to become more environmentally aware and responsible. CSR activities of corporate organizations affect their bottom line and the long-term success of their business. The environmental aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility had been debated over the past few decades and it's a hot matter of any business house. Earlier in the traditional business model, environmental protection has been considered only in relation to the “public interest”, but now it's a part of business. Governments of all over the world have maintained the principle of environmental responsibility for ensuring environmental conservation and management as well.

If your business activities pose an imminent threat to the environment, then notify the relevant enforcing body to take steps to prevent the damage and if your activities also cause actual environmental damage then you must take a remedial action to repair the damage. Before directing effluent detergent and waste chemicals into sewage, you should get permission from relevant body. Take care of Hazardous substances before throw-outs The business organization needs to think about the risks posed by chemicals or hazardous substances to the environment. Hazardous substances include oil, chemicals, pesticides, ozone-depleting substances, radioactive materials, electrical or electronic equipment solvents and biocides. You must ensure that your organization is aware about the environmental risks for every hazardous substance which you store, use, produce or dispose of at work.

Conservation and Biodiversity to be protected by the business organizations Biodiversity refers to all species of animals and plants. The increasing human activities cause the loss of biodiversity in the world. All types of business organizations operating near these types of area should be aware, and take responsibilities for conservation and protecting biodiversity. This not only applies to land-based industries such as farming and forestry but also to all factories, industries, offices and other business activities based on or near biodiversity areas. Protected areas like UNESCO biospheres include local nature reserves, areas of natural beauty that needs conservation, the heritage of wildlife habitats and national parks of the country. | February 2018 |30

They actively govern business ideas, structure, products or services, business location and business market. Focusing on these aspects to implement an effective and unique program is the primary objective for a foundation. Engagement, communication, creativity and innovation, project management and culture connect is the vision of any startup. It is also necessary to make sure the right people are getting involved at the right places. All employees should have the opportunity to contribute to the shared purpose and also enough resources and suitable environmental conditions should be provided to encourage employee growth. To establish a small startup, it needs to work on the changing ideas, concepts and procedures regularly to adapt to inevitable and unexpected problems. The Big Idea A splendid idea is the secret ingredient for any innovative organization. A big idea gives an organization the high ground in the marketplace. It stands out like a beacon, attracting new customers and employees too, often without the need for expensive advertisement. A useful and unique idea can make a huge difference in the profit of the business. It can easily attract right kinds of funding in easier and cheaper ways. This is how it secures the position of the organization in the future. And that’s how a big idea makes an organization more profitable, more visible, and more attractive in a low cost. Individual benefit vs corporate benefit Spending time with employees side-by-side and understanding how they work and explaining to them about new technologies and strategies can create positive impact on their lives at work. A good employee can always develop their skills by the training program in their company. It is not just about implementing the right policies or hiring the right people, but also providing new insights on how employee training and development are conducted in other companies and organizations and how to go about achieving the employee development goals. This is not only beneficial for the employee’s career growth but would also ensure that the company’s services are on the right hands. Proper training helps to develop the talents of their staffs and also easily harness the future of the market. This helps to expose the employee to various experts in the field with different perspectives and opinions with regards to employee engagement and also better understand the company’s needs and objectives. Collaboration brings out new ideas of other organizations Today, the biggest breakthroughs happen when people with a collective vision join together and share ideas, information, and work. Most top CEOs don’t do all the work themselves. Their success as an individual has now put them in a position where they are able to hire others who can work together to accomplish a single goal. Collaboration is the key element for businesses embarking on the “good to great” journey. This entails more than just people working together; but the entire process comes under one shelter. Creative collaboration encourages new idea and services of other expertise to join forces with the existing brand and set the foundation for innovation and success. This also includes learning to coach and the potential to inspire and motivate to form a strong team or foundation. Change is the daily attire of any Business As societies continue to evolve and changing demand creates the need for new products and services, businesses often are forced to make changes to stay competitive. The businesses that continue to survive and even thrive are usually the ones that most readily adapt to change.

Factors like the entrance of a new competitor into a market, innovations in technology, desire to growth, need to improve processes and government regulation can cause a business to change its planning and strategy. Constant change is essential—as it’s the only way to adapt quickly with the market change. A leader can only lead to a successful organization An organization is never known without its founder. He is the thinker behind the thought. Leadership has to start at the top but it isn’t great unless it spreads throughout the organization. The most successful companies recognize effective leaders and harness them to maximize results. Anybody who has ever watched interviews with managers or coaches of professional sports teams will have heard plenty of discussion of the need for leaders throughout the team. A leader should encourage teamwork and inspire others to perform. Companies demand from the leaders global fluency and flexibility, building the ability to innovate and acquire new levels of understanding of rapidly changing technologies and new disciplines and fields. A team leader should aim to build a star team and not a team of stars. An entrepreneur as a leader can drive the whole organization together to change the vision into a reality. The support and guidance to their employees can bring out new innovations and help them to achieve it. “It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.” – Scott Belsky 35| February 2018|

WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM - NEED, INSIGHT, AND IMPLEMENTATION | February 2018 |40
  • 43. Insights into Weatherization procedure Typically following steps are taken: Step1: In the Weatherization process home’s audit is done. The auditor keeps focus on to check: • Areas like windows, pipes, wiring that penetrate ceiling and floor, doors, sealing cracks, etc., for high- potential heat loss. • Light fixtures near attic space • heat loss due to air-duct • dampers of the exhaust fans • pipe condition • wall, floor, and ceilings condition • door and window sealings • and more An auditor then proposes the changes which can make home more energy efficient. Step2: Utility companies call for a bid to implement changes from its qualified contractor network. Step3: A selected contractor implements changes in the home. Step4: Utility company asks its inspector to validate the changes incorporated in the home. Step5: Once the inspector approves the changes then the Utility company pays to the contractor. The normal flow mentioned above might need to adjust to handle cases where low-earning families are not meeting income, age, earnings, etc criteria. Implementation of the Weatherization Program While implementing the solution, we considered a list of actors. These are: • Administrator • Customer • Auditor • Inspector • Contractor These actors are using the web-based portal and mobile application. The web-based application is developed on the Windows platform. The mobile application is developed using Xamarin. The web-based portal works under the contemporary browsers.

The program is mainly run for the low- earning families. This article emphasizes on IWORKETCH’s experience on building a platform for the US-based company. What is weatherization? As per Wiki, Weatherization (American English) or weatherproofing (British English) is the practice of protecting a building and its interior from the elements, particularly from sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and of modifying a building to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy efficiency. Why is weatherization needed? One thinks that if my house is well insulated then I am good as far as the heat protection of the home is a concern. It is true that various types of insulation can block drafts of the cold winds and protect the home. It gives protection from the “Conductive” heat flow. We still need weatherization to protect. It primarily reduces “Convective” heat flow. Weather Watch 41| February 2018|
  • 44. We know that HVAC systems are widely used in organizations and data centers. They control the surrounding environment (like temperature, humidity, air filtering, etc), and contribute to maintaining the comfort and safety of the building occupants. Everyone wants to get the most efficient HVAC system, but they have to make sure that proper energy-saving protocols are followed while doing so. They have to answer a few questions to ensure efficient HVAC utilization like: If the HVAC system operates as efficiently as it could? Is it compliant with health safety and environmental regulations? Are they facing continuous maintenance issues related to HVAC system? Is the HVAC system in good shape, or is it costing them? Assessing any facility first includes checking out the HVAC. Organizations have to determine how much time is left in the system’s lifecycle. An extremely old HVAC system could be consuming excess energy and wasting money. It could also lead to indoor quality issues and other building maintenance-related problems. Organizations should ensure that the system is working for them and not against them. Making sure that the Organization has the Right Fit If an organization is new to the complex world of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), it should know how vital it is that the system is matched to the organizational needs, as this is the only way to get both fully effective and efficient heating and air conditioning. To know about the best-suited HVAC system, calling on an HVAC professional is the only way forward. They will provide better information on whether one will require a central or local system, the size and best placement, as well as estimated pricing. Scheduling Annual Servicing For the most efficient air conditioning and heating system, organizations should make sure to get an annual inspection and service. Winter is usually the best time for HVAC maintenance, to make certain that the heating system will survive to coldest months, but any time is beneficial, and can help prevent expensive, inopportune breakdowns in the future. Regular Upgradation of HVAC Systems Regular upgradation and maintenance is a key towards efficient working of HVAC systems. Organizations have to realize that if they have to call in the HVAC maintenance team more regularly than once a year, then it may be time to upgrade the current system. Moreover, old HVAC systems consume more energy than usually required and therefore add a hefty cost to the monthly utility bills. Not only this, but the air quality may also be on the wrong side of healthy. If one is thinking about upgrading to a new high-tech HVAC system, it is highly likely that it could save them between 30 and 40 percent on energy costs. Keeping up with Environmental Regulations The prime responsibility of every organization is ensuring the health and safety of its employees. Health, safety and environmental regulations are set by the government for a reason so that organizations and individuals are wise enough to stick to them, or risk putting the employees in danger and unknowingly harming the environment.

  • 45. Tech Talk An organization can book a professional for HVAC maintenance if it is not sure of whether the HVAC system is up to code. Proper HVAC maintenance can help ensure safety as well as the system’s overall efficiency. Ensuring the Organization has Good Controls If you don’t have the controls you need on your HVAC system, you’re probably not getting the most efficient air conditioning and heating. Good controls allow you to heat and cool parts of your home only when you need it, making sure you’re not using unnecessary energy in parts of the home you don’t need heated or cooled, straining your system’s capacity and hemorrhaging money! Monthly Replacement of Filters In addition to yearly maintenance, organizations should take it upon themselves and make sure that the system’s filters are changed every month, as these can get clogged and prevent efficient air conditioning and heating. Keeping an annual supply of filters can save time, energy and resources, and changing them regularly, would lead to a hassle-free HVAC experience. Considering the air quality There are more important things to be kept in mind for efficient air conditioning and heating than what meets the eye, and providing consistent air quality is one of those hidden assets. To improve the air quality, replacing the entire HVAC system is not a necessity; instead, if organizations consider opting for additional ventilation solutions, it can turn out to be very helpful. An HVAC system can be properly installed in any organization and its successful implementation can be ensured by following the above given strategies. Proper maintenance and regular checkups can help in extending the lifeline of HVAC systems and can save costs on heating and cooling expenses. 43| February 2018|
