Mumbai: Leading Hospitality Services (LHS), in collaboration with Hong Kong-based i2Cool Limited, has introduced electricity-free cooling innovations in India that can cut building energy consumption by up to 20 per cent. The solutions were showcased at the Sustainability & Cooling Innovation Conference in Mumbai, supported by INFHRA, where industry leaders and sustainability experts discussed pathways to climate-resilient infrastructure.
Using nanoparticle-based coatings, i2Cool’s technology reflects solar radiation and releases absorbed heat, reducing surface temperatures by as much as 20°C. Applied as i2Coating for walls and i2Film for glass façades, the solutions have demonstrated electricity cost savings of 20–25 per cent in pilot projects, with return on investment achieved in as little as three years.
Atul Kapil, Group General Manager of LHS, stressed the importance of sustainable facilities amid rapid urbanisation and rising temperatures. “The built environment presents the most impactful opportunity to drive meaningful change. By embedding sustainability into every project, we aim to transform facilities into future-ready, climate-positive spaces,” he said.
Bonnie Leung, Marketing Director at i2Cool, added that with 70% of India’s population lacking access to efficient cooling, “our electricity-free cooling technology provides a scalable, eco-friendly solution that reduces dependence on conventional systems while making cooling more accessible and affordable.”
The conference featured representatives from Infosys, CII IGBC, Waaree Renewable Technologies, Tata Steel, and other organisations, who highlighted the role of enterprises in decarbonisation. Case studies showed successful deployments in healthcare facilities, logistics, solar rooftops, and industrial units, underscoring the versatility of the solutions, the company said in a media release.
With products now available for immediate adoption, LHS said the collaboration with i2Cool positions sustainable cooling as a cost-effective and practical solution to one of India’s most pressing challenges—balancing rapid development with climate resilience.
