K. Raheja wins ‘Energy Efficiency Leader Award’
Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort systems and services, and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, presented the K. Raheja Corp. with its “Energy Efficiency Leader Award” recognizing the company’s commitment for being at the forefront of developing environmentally responsible LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified green structures.
The environmental impact of a building’s design, construction and operation accounts for an estimated 30 percent of India’s energy consumption. Of this consumption, the major use is due to heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC) and lighting. As the Indian economy develops and the construction of commercial infrastructure accelerates, it is increasingly evident that the country needs to drive robust initiatives to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
If worldwide energy use trends continue, buildings will become the largest consumer of global energy by 2025, more than the transportation and industrial sectors combined. Smarter buildings with highly instrumented and interconnected systems are an important element in the overall solution and K. Raheja Corp. is rising to the challenge.
The modern, high-efficiency HVAC systems selected by K. Raheja Corp. will help drive down operating costs and improve indoor comfort levels for occupants with commensurate health and productivity benefits. K. Raheja Corp. has also committed to a continuous service and maintenance agreement to further reduce system inefficiencies and to prevent unplanned downtime.
