CII IGBC Green Property Show, Second Edition
Platform: Hi-Tech
Dates: May 17–19
CII IGBC National Vice Chairman said that buildings can be made zero-energy buildings through renewable energy sources, said Shekhar Reddy. Speaking to Real Estate Guru during the CII IGBC Second Edition Property Show in Hyderabad, he said that there will be an opportunity to generate renewable energy equal to what is consumed.
He shared, “These targets can be reached by adopting effective measures like reducing electricity demand and moving towards 100 percent renewable energy sources. Along with green materials, internal environmental policy, waste management, control of carbon emissions, conservation of natural resources, etc. can add to it. At present, construction is being done in cities away from traditional methods such as cross-ventilation. Although there are strict rules for the buildings, no one is following them properly.”
It has been clarified that the construction of green buildings does not cost more than conventional construction. It has been explained that the cost of construction can be reduced by using light-weight materials like alloys and polymers, reusing waste generated from construction sites, and following green building regulations.
