Think Sustainable

The quantum of built-up area Envisaged to be urbanised is simply humongous. Therefore, in order to extricate itself from the present scenario, India must follow the principles of sustainability. After all, the construction and operation of buildings have an enormous impact on the local environment, and also on greenhouse gas emissions. "India has the highest growth rate of 'building energy consumption' in the world, so this concern is particularly pressing. To tackle the challenge of making sustainable green buildings, we need to rethink the way a building is designed and operated," says Andrew Hines, Co-founder, CleanMax.
