How Energy loss in our buildings is hurting the planet
Human habitat design is largely driven by the kind of climate it is in. On the other hand if design fails to adjust to the climate the price that one pays is heavy, much heavier towards the Operation side. 80-90% of the lifecycle cost of the buildings get consumed in running them. A climate responsive design will therefore have obvious advantage in saving the opex (Operation expenditure).About 30% of total electric energy generated is consumed by transmission loads in walls / roofs. The building Read more...
@COP21 - India Sets a cost of 2.5 Trillion Dollars just to maintain our carbon emission rates by 2030- Is it realistic with our inefficiencies.
On 1 October 2015, India submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), including the targets to lower the emissions intensity of GDP by 33% to 35% by 2030 below 2005 levels, to increase the share of non-fossil based power generation capacity to 40% of installed electric power capacity by 2030 (equivalent to 26–30% of generation in 2030), and to create an additional (cumulative) carbon sink of 2.5–3 GtCO2e through additional forest and tree cover by 2030. For 2020, India has e Read more...
