The building sector in India is growing at a rapid pace and contributing immensely to the growth of the economy. This augurs well for the country and now there is an imminent need to introduce green concepts so that IGBC has launched IGBC Green New Buildings rating system to address the National priorities. 💚 The rating system includes mandatory requirements and credits, enabling the design and construction of new buildings of all sizes and types. Different levels of green building certification are awarded based on the total credits earned. However, every green new building is required to meet certain mandatory requirements, which are non-negotiable. 🚫 Here's a brief overview of the Mandatory criteria outlined by the IGBC rating system.💡 Follow us for more insights and tips on sustainable building! 👇✨ #sustainability #IGBC #greenbuilding #IGBCratingsystem

Check out NABERS Sustainable Portfolios Index 2024! It offers a lot of insights into the Office and Shopping Centre portfolios: Energy and Water efficiency, Waste management and IE quality. Even better, this SPI also includes Victorian Hospitals for the first time! It was great to work on this. #NABERSSPI #SPI2024 #SustainablePortfoliosIndex #NABERS

Did you know that the buildings and construction sector accounts for about 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions? A report by the UN Environment Programme found out that in 2022, buildings were responsible for 34% global energy demand and 37% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. With a steadfast focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibilities, KGBS is transforming the built environment, paving the way for a healthier, more efficient, and socio-eco-friendly future.

There is no correlation between green building certifications (i.e. LEED, BREEAM) and energy performance (or 1.5 degree-aligned scenarios), based on a sample of EU and US-based assets in this LOTUF and Systemiq Ltd. study. #GRESB serves as the primary green portfolio benchmark globally, covering US$7.2 trillion of real estate assets. The benchmark provides transparency on underlying #carbon and energy metrics, but only 4% of the score goes towards these targets. #Greenbuilding certifications have brought much-needed attention to energy efficiency and other indicators, but were not primarily designed to address climate performance. Pathways such as CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) and #SBTI (Science-Based Targets Initiative) provide top-down pathways and are a good starting point for asset owners, paired with local asset performance might allow for a more positive correlation. Pleasingly, revisions to a number of building standards will soon include more ambitious performance targets. At a glance, that sounds onerous. But fundamentally, improved top-down pathways provide clarity to owners at a macro level (the what), whilst certifications will provide the micro/progressive steps to achieve the desired outcome (the how and how much). In #realestate there is a clear correlation between sustainability performance and asset valuation, so the question isn't why, but how fast.

At PS Group, sustainability is not just a buzzword but ingrained in our blueprints. It’s an honour to be recognised for our efforts by The Economic Times Sustainable Organisations 2023 for Net Zero Goals. ✅ Since 2015 and as a founding member of the Indian Green Building Council we have been encouraging sustainable building designs blending high-quality construction & low environmental impact concepts. ✅ We prioritize energy efficiency in project planning and design, aiming for low building energy demand that can be met with carbon-free renewable energy. ✅ Our commitment to energy efficiency starts at the design phase, optimizing passive strategies to reduce overall energy demand. ✅ At an operational level, we undertake various activities to strengthen our green impact. Installation of grid-type solar power systems, HVAC systems designed with 100% CFC free refrigerants, OWC with ozone generator and IBMS are some highlights. ✅ With environmental consciousness at the forefront, we have planted 4000 trees and 2.5 lac shrubs, restored over 125 matured trees and 8 large water bodies in the last 3 yrs. ✅ 6 million sq ft of green projects have been completed in the last 5 years. And we’re only going to build upon this commitment. #Sustainability #NetZeroGoals #GreenInitiatives #EnergyEfficiency #RenewableEnergy #PSGroup #BuildingGreenFuture #EnvironmentalStewardship #ETSustainableOrganisations #TheEconomicTimes #ItsFamilyTime #PSGroup The Economic Times - Business Verticals The Economic Times

🌐 Exciting News: I had the opportunity to represent JLL in the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Australian Research Council - Industrial Transformation Training Centre (ARC-ITTC) for Sustainable Waste Heat Innovation and Transformation! 🌱🔥 As a leading global real estate and investment firm, JLL recognises the importance of sustainable innovation in today's society. We are thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking initiative that aims to drive positive change in the waste heat industry. While warmer climates may not be able to use direct waste heat transformation for heating, I found out from Nobuo Kawayama that absorption chilling can be used to take waste heat from blast furnaces and use it for chilled (16ºc) drinking water! Collaborating with esteemed industry partners, we have contributed to refining the vision statement and analysing the project and program statements of the ARC-ITTC. Together, we are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to transform waste heat into a valuable and sustainable energy source. This research centre will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, fostering new ideas, and training the next generation of experts in waste heat innovation. By participating in this collaborative effort, JLL is reaffirming our commitment to sustainability and promoting a cleaner, greener future. To find out more about this initiative, please visit the article: https://lnkd.in/gmTv73yi 📰 Stay tuned for more updates as we actively contribute to the sustainable waste heat transformation journey with Queensland University of Technology!

2024 will be a consequential year for the #buildings sector as building emissions continue to rise despite a significant increase in global commitments to decarbonize this sector. Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) initiatives this year aim to reverse this trend—and fast. Global  GBPN is an advisory board member for the newly launched United Nations Buildings Breakthrough Agenda, a commitment by 27 countries (and growing) to make near-zero emissions and climate resilient buildings the new normal by 2030. This agenda-setting work will provide a critical global framework for action that GBPN will leverage to further engage the top 20 emitting countries on work that will turn commitments into achievements. India On New Year’s Eve, the Bureau of Indian Standards appointed GBPN local expert partner Ashok B Lall Architects to incorporate GBPN’s Healthy Low-Carbon Housing guidelines into the National Building Code and Indian Standards for Affordable Housing. This is a significant win that will reduce emissions and improve thermal comfort and resilience for millions of people. GBPN will also complete a compliance platform for the residential building energy code for Gujarat, continue work with RAP to develop living labs for affordable housing, and work directly with developers on decarbonization roadmaps. Indonesia  This month Indonesia will launch its national Green Building Roadmap, developed by GBPN Indonesia and Gadjah Mada University in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), and Ministry of Home Affairs. In 2024, GBPN will work with MEMR on a National Action Plan for Low Carbon Buildings and with selected local governments to implement the road map at the subnational level. The road map’s implementation is projected to avoid 37 million tons of CO2 by 2030. China  GBPN will support four provinces in implementing their low-carbon construction policies, providing expertise and capacity building to incorporate zero-carbon building targets in the 15th Five-Year Plan.

In an exclusive conversation with me, Peter Templeton , CEO, U.S. Green Building Council and Gopalakrishnan P , managing director, GBCI India (South East Asia & Middle East) talked about sustainability, construction industry’s role in reducing carbon emissions, carbon trading and much more. Peter said that countries have created regulatory frameworks that are incentivising actions around decarbonisation and India has every opportunity to leapfrog all the bad practices, learn from them and move to cleaner solutions that are available. #carbonemissions #carbonneutrality #decarbonisations #carbontrading
