Want to save power? Don't wear ties

Mumbai: A group of people in Mumbai have launched a campaign named as 'No-Tie' to save energy and protect the environment. Campaigners believe that not wearing a tie will make people feel cooler with less need to use air conditioners so extensively. Currently, in Mumbai air-conditioners consume about 1,000 MW of the 2,700 MW power used daily by the city, reports BBC.
Dhiraj Shrinivasan, Co-founder of the "No-Tie Campaign" said, "I have read that wearing a tie makes one feel warm. Naturally then people ask for office temperatures to be reduced, causing higher carbon emissions because of more air conditioning. When I consulted an energy expert he explained to me that nearly 25 percent more is consumed when temperatures are maintained between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius instead of an ideal 24 to 26 degrees Celsius."
Shrinivasan believes that the the culture of wearing ties is British. "Their peak summer temperature would be our lowest winter temperature. We need to see if we really need to wear a tie at our workplace. We should wear clothes that are suitable to Indian climactic conditions like shirts or kurtas."
The campaigners are planning to to organise a "No Tie Day" on May 3, 2010. "It will be the peak of summer and it will have an impact then. At the local level we will discuss how to save power, at the national level we will talk about how we need to dress according to weather conditions and at the international level we will discuss the impact of global warming," said Shrinivasan.
Earlier in September, Bangladesh ordered government employees to not wear suits and ties to ease the country's energy shortage.

10: This is a good idea for energy conservation
and should be started earlier.i want to tell
why should we follow British culture
Dear reader:
But still in India advocates wear black coat in peak summer also.we all Indian should try to switch off this rule
also.
I think wearing black coat makes us more warm as compared to tie.so its my request to all reader for considering my suggestion.we celebrated our 61st republic day ,yet we can not change our psychology.
I think if all advocate will stop wearing black coat then we will save more energy.

12: this is a very good initiative, but govt.
should put strict guidelines for construction
of big multi storied office building where
maximum energy is wasted in air conditioning
due to use of large glass facades.this
culture also we are following like a fool
from western cold countries.

13: it's a good idea in some sense but still
there is a lot we have to do.Untill and
unless we all understand our responsibility
nothing can be change,we always give a free
advice to everyone to stop the wastage of
electricity but are we really implement this
on our daily routine? nothing can be change
by saying but can be change by doing
somthing.most of the people think "A single
person can't change anything", but i say
every thing can be change if will power is
strong as fashion starts from few people but
reaches to many people difference is of only
confidence

15: Dear all
Its true to change the psychology already developed among people.Actually the thing is that the above concept,in some sense and in small scale,can help save power.
But,the basic mentality of people needs to be changed.People always think - let them do,why have we to suffer for that.Just sit in AC and enjoy the world looking from their windows at persons running in hot sun and finally take a deep breath and say-oops,I'm safe.
It's what I think and may change from person to person.

16:srry a small correction
Dear all , of course I say it is an innovative idea And we should respect the person's thought who tried to circulate this of No-tie and save power But In my view when i calculate the statistics of people who all were tie in India,May be less than 70% and may be those people who work in the Multinationals and IT would be wearing "tie" then statistically we can only save 10% power consumption. what about the Data centres which consumnes the maximum power. If people would really wan't to contribute towards power saving they should start from reducing and checking on their household electricity bills.If we everybody try to reduce only 1% in our elec.bill every month, just immagine thorughout India how much power will be saved. One cannot immagine the statistics.Not watching TV or Film at home for one day just immgine how much power will be saved.Dear all we should think in the broader way where gain will be maximum. I appreciate No-tie slogan but don't mind if house-wives says No-TV-For-1day.
Just to say as charity starts from home .. Why not every body starts first practise at home.Also why no people think to utilise the maximum electricity from the natural resources. Like some ways ro charge our appliances through solar system etc.. engineers need to think on this.

20: I totally agree ... every office should make
Indian cotton kurtas as their professional
dress to save the energy . Its high time that
no one look forward for our Mumbai Street
Light which is continuously ON at a day time.
And when I complaint Electric House they say
it’s for some work is going on… my
question is for electric house that the work
is for 12 months… it’s really sad part
for our Indian Government that a things which
is necessary for our life which is being
Privatization ….. we should start looking
forward for this and save our energy.

21: In the issue of Global Warming corporate
world should be take a responsible steps.
Because that is blooming era of corporate
companies. For the reason of them a huge
electric is wasted every year and many people
can't buy food and drinking water for the
price purpose.
So in that time if some body calls this noble campaign, as a educated human being we obviously support them. That is our nature. If we are not look up to this nature then who should take the responsibility? Out side creature.
No man now the time that we should make a control on this Global worming by the implementing scientific way of our life style. As a educated people that should our responsibility also. These steps are welcome and I would try to maintain this.

we need to start some more activities.
reforestation, educating people about power
saving through advertisement. the way we took
polio issue n now we r sucessful to prevent
polio. we ve to work compulsorily abt the
issue of global warming. we need to ask the
big shots to co-operate abt this issue.

even we dont think while using AC... how its
harmful to ourselves...
Lets stop using tie and suite... we should start it from ourself first.. officials will not agree ...
It will help us to save earth/global warming...

26: So, the western world should start a campaign
of 'Say Yes to Tie!' or 'Don't forget the
Tie'. That will save them a lot of energy.
By the way if it helps, the most energy saving Indian dress is Lungi and Banyan. Any takers ? - Tapan , Indian IT Professionals Networ, iITPRO.NET

Wrong maybe we are not following 10% of Western Culture.
Westerners Wore Suit & Tie to suit the climate over there. They brought the culture to Asia and rest of the world followed suit. Think it is high time that we INDIANS start influencing the WORLD. Let's Begin...at least!

Contrary to the finding Knotting Tie keeps you more air-conditioned than not wearing tie.
If you are wearing tie in hot summer it helps to condition your body but if not wearing tie than the body is directly exposed to environment through the open collar area and due to the faster communication with the environment you feel hotter than cool as proposed.

Why can't we think of producing more power and speedy clearance and realisation of ultra mega projects to solve the problem of power shortage? China has every year 55 super critical power plant commisioned, i.e. 1 every week. Whereas in India....'No-Tie' campaigns to promote power 'saving'.Wow.
Ridiculous.

china is hellbent to destroy environment. we should not follow that. rather some alternate way to save energy. NO TIE may be one of them, howmuch token may be.

producing energy/power, you can try many
other things. I think its good if one is
coming with an idea of saving the energy.
There are many places where AC's are
consuming lot of power which is just
unwanted. Power plant can help to give extra
power but we must use it only where its need.
I will suggest to work n use daylight time,
so that we can save more power.

I personally feel people much more comfortable, relaxed & smart without a tie.
why should we appease the western culture,when we are not bothered?

are running in idle conditions. in many
companies lot of leaks in chill air. peoples
who are responsible for this is ignoring this
leakages. If they arrest these things lot of
savings can be done. Also we people can keep
24 to 26 deg. celsius is more than enough.
But in many offices this set temp is below
24. Lot of enegry is wasted on this way.
Responsible people should work on this.

72: While the idea is sound but implementation ?
is surely doubtful.
All who read will appreciate that ties are used in the IT and ITES sectors. These are industries where we have the highest number of manager and wanting to be managers who have a very active slave gene inherited from the forefathers who lived in the pre-independence era. These are guys who take pride in bending over as a mark of respect for the white skin and not to mention emulating the manners of the white skinned representative of the company they work for.
It would be great if this movement is successful and people are a wearing shirts kurtas with pride rather than an apology writ large on their faces

73: I agree fully with the observation. We tend
to adapt to a situation which is totally un
warranted. The private sector or even the
Govt. can encourage their employees to avoid
wearing this piece of cloth which is akin to
loin's cloth. Copying the western culture
unmindful of our culture and environment is
suicidal.

consumption even lower. Cotton dress should
also help. So the dress code can help to a
marginal extend save energy, but there are
many other areas needing more attention than
mere dresses.

, but at the same time, tell me how many
employees are wearing tie in Office Campus,
as per analysis given in Outlook last year
only 2.3% of the indian workers are wearing
tie thats too we can c in Banking sector and
others are in sales representative. from this
it will not be bring any big profit.its
better to be stay in the same and bring our

82: Not only tie, but so many other things are
British (or at least they taught the Indins
to use them). For example, the shoe you wear,
the shirt, the pant, the modern underwear,
sitting on the chair, using the table, going
to school, rule of law and much else. The
list is long.
As to the dress, why not try Gandhi\'s attire for a change? As to wearing a tie, well, I dont do, unless, the ambience is suitable.

84: There was another Brtish culture that thay
had over in India, and that was planting
trees everywhere. Maybe what Indian Cities
really want is the compulsory relanting of
trees everywhere. There are a lot of fully
paid retired public servants idling away.
They can be utilised to do for, they hold the
responsiblity of not protecting the trees
when they had the administration in their
hands.
In terms of the number of trees available, most Indian cities can vye with the deserts.
As to the ACs, just imagine the amoutnt of heart they dissipate to the outsides of the buildings. People sitting inside the air conditioned offices never get to bear this heat, for most of the time, they again travel in air conditioned cars. India shines from within this ambience, but the reality is stark and scorched.

87:I fully support the campaign.
i would like to bring out one more important aspect of airconditioning settings in our common places, offices,theatres and even at homes, trains and buses.
Surprisingly one may notice that the temeperature regulator is set anywhere between 0 and 15 centigrade.
In india people feel generally feel that the regulator must be set to the lowest for the fastest cooling and best comfort.
May I suggest that if the controllers well calibrated and set to even 21 degree centigrade we stand to save lot of power.
Just remember when you travelled last time by any a/c bus or our train - you are supplied with a blanket and still it was freezing.
Plus the attendants will refuse to change the setting to comfort level as "some passengers want it like that".
By setting proper temperature, we are sure to save many more thousands of Megawatts.
Public awareness to be increased that Human comfort zone is 24-26 degree C.

88: 1000 MG of power consumption in one city for
running A/c 's. What will be the figure if we
take all India metro cities in total.Huge
scope to reduce emissions ( after COP 15
).Tie has been more of a status symbol and
dress code. I fully support the may 3rd 2010
campaign on No-Tie, which should be all over
India. All schools should with immediate
effect ban use of ties for school kids too. I
can see the discomfort in the children faces
when they carry the heavy school bag, with
lunch carriers and water bottle, along with a
tie in the neck.

89: You can also try using ceiling fans and high
ceiling with good ventillation, wearing only
cotton or khadi dresses during summer. This
would greatly reduce the energy consumption.
Wear a small cotton cloth around your neck to
absorb the sweatness instead of a tie. You
should put the body sweating mechanism to
work otherwise all the salt gets accumulated
in your body and you get lot of problems.

its a big joke that people wear tie and come

for the sake of following dress code!

It has never been part of our Indian culture.Once I found owner of a very big company in USA wearing simple dress with black oily spots more looking a mechanic. Nothing like tie.
As a matter of fact one is more comfortable at job without tie.

fine. Not on any other climatic conditions in
India. However Tie forms only one part. How
about Swithing OFF the TV & other remote
controlled equipment rather than keeping it
on stand by, Buying Only Five star Rated
equipment(A/C or refrigrator), staying near
office or Car pooling to office or going by
bike or public transport? Even more How about
Being a Vegeterian? & At an organisation
level, ensuring that you would only build
"green" when constructing something new?
Limiting to the tie would be symbolism. Need
to do much much more.

when our entire society is influenced by

people were white handloom 'mundu' and shirt

officers... we can be modern in our attitude

is indeed a must. WHY NOT TRADITIONAL FORMAL
WEAR LIKE KURTA etc? Why do we have ALWAYS
imitate the west for everything to the point
where we are wiping out our culture by our
own hands? Yes, not having this tie (which
reminds me of a slave in chains) will indeed
go a long way in saving power bills but also
bring in emphasis on our own traditional wear
which is the best attire for our climate.
I'm all for Kurtas and dhotis (spotless white
only) for our work place regardless of how
much hi-tech the workplace is.

143:I second your thoughts Shiva. Very well said.
Yes, why is formal wear always stuck to
trousers, shirts, shoes and ties. Westerners
wear it because it is cold out there. Do they
wear dhotis or kurdas when it is winter and
praise Indian formal wear
We Indians should feel proud about our own culture and heritage. Only then will we turn back and bring out the true Indian in us. Stop idolizing the west. Get only the good things from them
However, it is a very funny logic that if yo do not wear tie it will save energy. The A.C. in any corporate is centralized and they are not gonna increase or decrease it just because someone is wearing a tie or not.
Indians please use your COMMON SENSE

145: I laughed so hard when I read the article
that I had tears in my eyes. Some lazy guy
says he "heard" that ties make you perspire
and a whole bunch of other lazy guys follow
like a sheep.
Wearing a tie means you are a professional and have a career, it's a part of your business attire. If you feel around your neck is too tight and pulls and makes you perspire then wear a "clip on tie". When using a clip on tie you can remove it quicky and place it back on quickly, so no problem there. You need a tie if you are greeting customers just as you need your jacket. Has your company considered going solar?

146:It's not a question how to wear tie.If you
wear (loose or tight or clipped)it feels you
hot and you'd look for AC temperature should
be around 20 degrees and Srini was telling
this would increase the carbon emission. why
to laugh at this, I don't get and think twice
before putting words like,"like a sheep".
It's not new to us..Gandhi suggested and
followed the same.Let's forget about company
rules...We must see the logic and for
tropical countries Tie is just a social
symbol, something like owning a car
Any one can calculate the capital money/maintenance/petrol or gas or diesel expenditure, resale depreciation after few years/number kilometers traveled per year/insurance etc...
Total cost divided by the kilometers/ year will give you a shock.you are paying Rs.15-30 per km.It would look funny but seriously give a calculation and you'd realize the truth. Perhaps I have not included the carbon emission.
Just think

I am sure many in the south wear a tie to satisfy the Company or Institute. Infact several people does not know even how to wear tie.
In Andhra Pradesh ,Tamilnadu,Kerala and Karnataka most politicians wear formal dress. Also South Indians are distinguished from others by their attire.
Simply by wearing suit and tie one won't get recognition but by the worth of the candidate and merit in one's profession.
Just now I received a message from my American Friend "In Miami and in the Southern United States, in general, we don’t wear ties."
I was Director, Vice President of a big group and I was never wearing a tie nor suit?

in India and not in London/ New York. BTW the
west accepts tie and suit as the formal
business dress - ONLY because its European in
origin, not because of any utility.
Why not use the native american dress in which they managed to survive in this land for ages before the europeans ravaged the country ?
Hey one the funny side, Christ wore a dhoti- not a suit :) hahahahaha

154:NO TIE is OK if you want to follow Indian
culture, MR.Dhiraj Shrinivasan idea of NO TIE
is to save the energy consumption on Air
conditioners.. compelling reasons to use AC
is to maintain the room temperature (not just
for humans working in office) for the
equipments used in the office especially in
an IT industry AC is a must for the
computers, servers & other hightech
electronic equipments. by which the
efficiency of the equipment will be better
& lesser downtime due to malfunction.

already in a big problem of generating
energy. They are building new power stations
every where causing the problem directly to
environment. With this we also helping to
reduce the energy requirement load on power
generating stations. This will really great
help to save Energy.

158: A good thought and step to save energy and
protect envirenment. Even executives in
Janapene Companies have been told not to wear
suits/blazers so as to avoid use of ACs. I
wish this will have impact and we will be
able to save 500 MW out of that 1000 MW.

Posted by: saradhi - 02 Jan, 2010
165: It is a step in right direction. Power saved
is actually power geerated. Our track record
of capacity addition in all the previous five
year plans had been pathetic. In Japan now
the Offices have started insisting to wear
half sleeves shirts and no suits so as to
avoid extra load on air conditioning systems.
In India, as Indians we can also dispens with
use of Ties, full sleeved shirts and suits.
Our office may be air coditioned but do we
travel all the times in Air conditioned cars
or are there imaginary air coditioned Skyways
that carry middle level employees all the way
back home in air conditioned skyways - answer
is no. Then why can't we save on
Airconditioning at office.

You look good, complete when you wear Tie, it
doesnt mean you wear it all the time or in
hot weather. there can be summer Ties, summer
formals which are cotton made but look
stylish. Think about it. enjoy diversity
rather than rejecting one another.
Posted by: Rams - 02 Jan, 2010
172:Yup. Why can we look at other side. Only MNCs
who have their operations in India do work
professionally. Most of the domestic market
based Organizations are lacking their
professionalism (how highly either he/she is
educated) in their approach with-in and
out-side the Organization. Then what the hell
of professionalism they are going to get/show
just by wearing a tie. Its not at all
criticizing you or any one. Better to adopt
the Indian Culture. (I mean to say wearing a
tie doesn't bring any professionalism, Let us
be professional in our approach, behavior,
attitude.)

174: Wearing tie was basically a tradition adopted
from West where the Weather is cold. Hence it
helped them keep warm and cosy. Check the
Weather and wear mufflers and scarfs
preferably. Remember Work is God n Health is
Wealth.
Posted by: Gods must be crazy - 01 Jan, 2010
175: Ofcourse, wearing the suits and ties will
genarate warmness - to bring down you need
the ambient temperature of room to lower the
heat.. Thus increasing the power bills and
also the outside temperature up.
The european guys who visit us come with cotton T Shirts and shorts to safe guard themselves, wnere as the desi clad wear suits and ties in the hot summers of Delhi and in the regular heat of Chennai.
We should stop copying the life style, which does not suits your climate.

Another paradox is wearing Shoe. In Educational Institutes it is compulsory by Staff and Students to wear Shoe and so in Corporate Offices. Many a time the Students continue to wear socks which are stinking. They may not feel the foul smell but others do especially in Air-conditioned Rooms. as the saying goes” YOUR SMOKING IS INHURIOUS TO OUR HEALTH\".
Mahatma Gandhi used to wear Chappals, which give good aeration especially during summer. They can be easily removed, as one has to remove footwear while entering Computer Rooms, Hospitals, Temples etc.,
BEHAVE AS A ROMAN IN ROMAN is the best policy to adopt especially in Daily life.

argument. One - It is 100 % true that this
attire doesn't suit our climate. Secondly, it
is imperative to look professional and
wearing a proper tie & suit makes one
look professional irrespective of whether the
wearer is actually a pro or not. But, yes,if
not wearing a tie can bring down the power
bills, we should implement it. Tie can always
be carried along and worn when going out for
meetings. Totally support the cause for
