  Government policies play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development
  The project has demonstrated compliance with all the mandatory requirements of ECBC 2007 and the reduction in overall insolation through the fenestration, against the SVAGRIHA benchmarks, is 55.42%. A 30 kWp solar PV plant is installed, which meets 100% indoor lighting requirement, thus reducing the consumption of energy generated from non-renewable sources. The other salient features of the project were 57.95% reduction in building water consumption by installing low flow fixtures, more than 73.24% of total living area is day lit; and 100% furniture, flush doors, door frames and other wooden materials in the project interiors made up of refurbished wood and so on.

The project has demonstrated compliance with all the mandatory requirements of ECBC 2007 and the EPI of the project was simulated as 118.1 kWh/m2/year, implying 73.8% reductions in EPI from the benchmark. A 30 kWp solar PV plant is installed, which meets 6.5% indoor lighting requirement, thus reducing the consumption of energy generated from non-renewable sources. The other salient features of the project were 47% reduction in building water consumption by installing low flow fixtures; and use of low energy materials such as Gyproc false ceiling, gyproc partition walls with veneer paneling and so on for 100% of the materials used in sub-assembly/internal partitions/false ceilings in the project.

Waste Heat: Innovators turn to an overlooked renewable resource
Nearly three-quarters of all the energy produced by humanity is squandered as waste heat. Now, large businesses, high-tech operations such as data centers, and governments are exploring innovative technologies to capture and reuse this vast renewable energy source.
Zero Waste Bistro installation provides circular-economy model
A pop-up restaurant that is built from recycled food packaging and that composts all of its leftovers has been set up at the Wanted Design Manhattan fair. Commissioned by the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, Zero Waste Bistro is open for four days to coincide with the NYCxDesign festival.
A zero-emissions natural gas plant could change the game
Last week, NET Power officially began operations at its 50-megawatt, emissions-free natural gas power plant in La Porte, Texas. If all goes well, the plant’s design could pave the way to a cleaner energy future. Instead of using air to drive a turbine and generate electricity, the plant uses heated carbon dioxide; the pure carbon dioxide emissions are then captured and stored rather than released into the atmosphere. Testing thus far has proven to be positive.
