As architects, we are the custodians of the built environment, shaping spaces that transcend functionality and stand as testaments to innovation and design. In recent times, the call for sustainability in our projects has become more than just a trend—it's an imperative. However, there's an elephant in the room that we can't ignore: the often exorbitant price tag attached to sustainability services.
The High Cost of Sustainability: A Barrier for Many Architects
For too long, the pursuit of sustainable design has been hindered by financial constraints. The cost of conducting thorough daylighting, ventilation, radiation, and wind analyses, coupled with shading and solar exposure studies, has placed sustainability out of reach for many architects, especially those working on smaller projects.
The stark reality is that the existing market rates for a comprehensive set of sustainability studies range from 4L to 10L INR. This hefty price tag often relegates sustainable design to a luxury afforded only by larger firms with substantial budgets.
A New Philosophy: Making Sustainability Accessible for All Architects
At Building Energy India, we believe that sustainability should not be a luxury—it should be a fundamental aspect of every architect's toolkit. Our commitment to this belief has driven us to introduce a game-changing initiative.
Introducing Affordable Sustainability: Slashing Prices to Drive Change
We're excited to announce a paradigm shift in how architects can access sustainability services. Recognizing the need for change, we've slashed our prices to make comprehensive sustainability studies accessible to all architects.
Our all-new retainer model, offered at a fraction of the market cost, is designed to empower architects, regardless of the size of their projects, to integrate sustainability seamlessly. This initiative is more than a price reduction; it's a commitment to democratizing sustainability in architecture.
