Buildings Initiative
A sustainable buildings toolkit for India
The challenge
A significant portion of India’s anticipated 2040 buildings are yet to be built.
The buildings sector accounts for 20% of emissions, and more than 30% of energy consumption in India.
Transition to smart and sustainable buildings is an environmental and economic imperative.
ABOUT NET ZERO BUILDINGS INITIATIVE
- A non-commercial climate advocacy platform to popularize the concept of ‘net-zero emissions buildings’ in India.
- It is a Sustainable Buildings Toolkit for reducing operational carbon in buildings.
- It brings together technical solutions, best practices and tools for sustaining improvements.
- Includes workshop series to experience the Toolkit.
IMPACT ENVISIONED
Energy efficient infrastructure can potentially reduce electricity consumption by
40-60%
compared to conventional buildings.
According to India Energy Outlook 2021, even a 30% improvement in energy efficiency from
buildings can potentially save
~250 TWh
of electricity by 2030.
