One of the industries that has a direct and lasting impact on the environment is the real estate industry, and the good news is that this industry has realised its role in environmental conservation and is implementing new innovative measures towards sustainability and a greener tomorrow. Let us look at these positive eco-friendly changes – 

Green communities

Conscious  of the fact that pollution is a major issue in most of the metros, reputed Real estate Developers are incorporating huge green spaces in their Gated community projects. These Premium gated community complexes built with eco-consciousness include open spaces with abundant green cover which occupy about more than 60% of the landscape in the project. Lush green parks, beautiful landscaped gardens with play areas for kids, open-air game courts like badminton, volleyball court, football turf, etc., are a part of the community. With more space in between the individual blocks, ample natural ventilation, more vegetation and greenery, these communities help reduce pollution and carbon footprints.

Net zero building principles

A building that produces as much energy as it consumes is said to implement the net zero building principles. This concept extends to multiple aspects like energy management, water management, waste management, etc. – 

• Improved energy efficiency – The basic underlying principle is to ensure that the building generates as much energy as it consumes. This is implemented by the builders using Solar Panels that generate power to meet requirements like the lighting of common areas in the community, energy requirements of the club house, etc. Optimal utilisation of Solar energy to offset the energy bills to the maximum extent possible ensures sustainable usage of power. Modern Gated Villa communities that are energy efficient achieve this with Polar panels erected in every villa that generates ample solar energy for sustainability.
• Efficient management of water resources –  Responsible usage of water through the use of low-flow technology fixtures minimises the wastage of water.  Leading real estate organisations incorporate features like rain water harvesting, bhungroo wells for optimal utilization of rain water and to replenish the groundwater resources. Water treatment plants established in the communities reuse the waste water for flushing, and landscaping gardens, thus ensuring best use of available resources.
• Better waste management –  Working towards the goal of “Net Zero Waste” eco-friendly projects employ effective waste management techniques which involve segregation of wastes into biodegradable and non-biodegradable and recycling of biodegradable wastes for generation of compost, and bio manure that can be used to meet the needs of organic gardens grown in the community. The major principles of reduce, reuse and recycle are adapted in all the phases right from construction, operation and maintenance of the buildings.

Green building certification 

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) which is a part of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) was formed with the vision to “Enable a sustainable built environment for all and facilitate India to be one of the global leaders in the sustainable built environment by 2025”. This council has propelled the green building movement and certifies projects based on their eco-friendly practices and sustainability measures. Futuristic projects from eco-conscious real estate organisations employ stable green initiatives and obtain certifications of their projects from the council.  Prestigious projects with Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) pre-certified gold rating showcases dedication to eco-friendly practices by these builders.

While you scout the latest real-estate projects to buy your dream home,  remember to check if it incorporates Net-Zero building principles and sustainability in its design and construction, for, this is the way forward.
