Heat Adaptation at Digvijay Texfab Pvt. Ltd.
Kishangarh, Rajasthan
The Challenge
Sizing Area with minimal sunlight and ventilation
Workers exposed to high temperatures
By 2050: 143+ extreme heat days, up to 43% productivity loss, with increased retention and regulatory risks.
Our Approach
Three-step methodology:
On-site Measurements
Deploying WBGT monitors, thermal cameras across work areas to quantify real heat exposure.
Worker Engagement
Conducting structured surveys and interviews to understand the lived experiences of heat stress and its health impacts.
Climate Modelling
Using CLIMADA Technologies' projections to assess how risks will evolve under different emissions scenarios, generated using various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways.
