Steps taken by Government of India in Promoting Energy Efficient Buildings

Energy Efficiency in Buildings With the current rate of urbanization and the subsequent increase in energy demand, energy efficiency in buildings has a significant role to play in contributing to energy security in developing countries. Energy consumption patterns can be substantially reduced by energy conserving measures, particularly during the phase of building design. Space heating load can be reduced by about 50%, when economically-viable insulating measures are applied to the building envelopes, i.e. to ceiling and walls. In conventional Indian buildings, energy consumption is 200 kWh per sq. meter. This energy consumption can be reduced to 120 kWh per sq. meter by applications of energy-efficient building techniques. Energy efficiency measures for buildings are approaches through which the energy consumption of a building can be reduced while maintaining or improving the level of comfort in the building. They can typically be categorized into: Reducing heating demand;

Tools To Tackle the Waste -“Solution To Farm Fires”

Tools To Tackle the Waste -“Solution To Farm Fires” According to the United Nations definition, agricultural wastes are waste produced as a result of various agricultural operations. It includes manure, wastes from poultry houses and slaughterhouses; harvest waste; fertilizer run-off from fields; pesticides that enter into water, air or soils; and salt and silt drained from fields. Also, the quantity and composition of agricultural waste are dictated by the geographical and cultural aspects of a country or a region and also the extent of land used for agriculture. Regions into organic farming may produce less of water-polluting chemicals. Animal manure is mostly used up. Highly populated developing regions are bound to produce more of harvest waste due to lack of infrastructure, need for multiple planting of crops and lack of awareness. The economic aspect of waste management is the biggest spoilsport in our land. Pollution of the Northern part of India is mainly due

Celebrate Green Building week from 23rd Sept to 29th Sept with Econaur!

Buildings and construction are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions. World Green Building Week, taking place from September 23 to 29, this year aims to raise awareness of the carbon emissions from all stages of a building’s lifecycle. ECONAUR is Celebrating the Green Building Week and the campaigns for the week with a specific day-wise theme. Heating, powering, and cooling buildings (in-use) contributes 28% to global energy-related carbon emissions, while 11% of these emissions refer to carbon released during the construction process and material manufacturing (embodied emissions). Themed #BuildingLife this year, World Green Building Week is seeking to explore how to create a green, healthy, and climate-resilient built environment for all. To date, the building and construction industry’s focus has been on operational emissions and how buildings actually perform in-use. However, in order to fully decarbonize by 2050 to keep global warming to below 1.
