In the wake of sustainable development in every sector, green buildings are one of the best ways to achieve it in the building construction industry. Strategies adopted in Green Building revolves around 6 key focus areas such as Sustainable sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Innovation.
Green buildings also help in addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In India there are various Green Building Certification authorities such as GRIHA, IGBC, LEED, EDGE and GEM.
We take up feasibility study and facilitation of Green Building Certification for your project. We provide recommendation as per green building guidelines and work closely with the design team.
Building energy modelling helps in analysing the impact of design decisions on energy consumption of a building. Energy modeling can help optimize building design, material selection in early design stages and provide a comparative energy consumption scenario for various options.
Early design optimization studies thus help in anticipating and optimizing the operation energy costs in the initial phases. Energy modelling is also used for rating compliance modeling.
We conduct energy simulation for your projects and help optimize design and material selection.
We also conduct building simulations as per compliance requirement of various rating systems.

Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2017 and Eco-Niwas Samhita are two standards launched by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy efficiency in the commercial and residential building sector.
We help project teams to achieve compliance to these standards. We also conduct whole building performance simulation for compliance as per the Energy Codes. The energy codes are currently on a voluntary basis and are soon to be mandated in Maharashtra.
Building commissioning is a systematic process that ensures a building is designed, constructed, and operated as intended. It involves testing and validating a building's systems to ensure they perform optimally.
A building audit assesses an existing building for its overall condition and identifies problems with respect to energy efficiency, water usage, compliance with codes etc.
Building commissioning has the purpose of keeping optimal operating conditions according to design documents, while energy audits aim to improve building performance.
We offer energy audit and water audit services alongwith building services commissioning as per rating system requirements.

Sustainable architecture takes into account numerous aspects of design such as site planning, water efficiency, material and technology and innovative aspects suitable to site conditions.
We as a team of architects with expertise in sustainable design strategies, provide designs and solutions for your building projects that take into account environmental considerations.
India is targeting Net Zero Emissions by 2070, part of which shall be be achieved by 2030. Since building sector consumes around 32% of the energy, it is imperative that buildings take into consideration the embodied and operational carbon.
Designing buildings that demand less energy is the first step in designing Net Zero buildings.
We consult on strategies to improve energy efficiency and reduce building energy loads.
