While the unprecedented boom in the construction sector has brought economic opportunities and improved living standards, it has also resulted in significant environmental challenges.
With the construction industry significantly contributing to global energy consumption and CO2 emissions, adopting Net-Zero Energy Buildings is both innovative and imperative.
Rapid urban population growth and the attempt to curb urban sprawl are pushing policymakers and decision-makers to become increasingly interested in vertical urbanism. Architects, structural engineers, and the various other stakeholders involved in the creation of high-rise structures are constantly striving to develop energy-efficient, sustainable designs without compromising on aesthetics and functionality. Energy conservation is an evolutionary process, and design priorities for tall and supertall buildings have recently shifted to achieving more energy efficiency to address the energy needs of the increasing global population.
As the Associate Chief Manager of Sustainability, Ar. Joshi suggests advanced sustainable practices and the integration of eco-friendly solutions in construction projects, which significantly impact environmental conservation and sustainable development.
In design philosophy, passive design strategies, with orientation and shading as pivotal elements, offer a pathway towards optimised energy efficiency.
