Sustainable Design & Construction in Realty promises Advanced building in future

Infrastructure has always been the mainstay of economic development and with major private sector investment contributing to a potential boom, infrastructure growth in India is all set to go stratospheric. The country’s rapid economic growth over the last decade, however, has placed tremendous stress on its limited infrastructure. Thanks to massive investments, major private sector participation and a paradigm shift, infrastructure has grown phenomenally in the last ten years, making it one of the most growth-intensive sectors of the economy. India has successfully executed highways, seen its ports expanding and airports being modernized over the past decade.

Sustainable Design & Construction of the Buildings is a necessity. This is not a newly found mantra for either. It is now more relevant when there is a mad rush to build endlessly to cater to the insatiable requirement of modern living in the context of a fast increasing working population for country such as India and that it is a proven fact that building activity consumes the maximum energy of all energy intensive activities on our planet. Now, when the costs for sustainable materials and products are finally dropping and they are readily available in India, building green is really the most cost-effective kind of design and construction. The green concepts and techniques in the realty sector help to address National concerns like water efficiency, energy efficiency, and reduction in fossil fuel use, handling of consumer waste and conserving natural resources. The biggest and the immediate advantage of such a concept is that it can enhance occupant's health and well-being, which is of greater importance. It is always beneficial to adhere to Green building concepts while developing a residential society as it reduces energy cost by 20-30%, reduces water requirement by 30-50% and improves the health and well-being of occupants and if we see around the pollution in the country is on the rise, making it difficult to conserve our resources, opting for a Green building for a residential purpose can be our initiative towards a better tomorrow .

Signature Global Group is focusing offering Green Living to its residents of various projects which possess IGBC Gold rating under Green Building concepts. In the long run these buildings not only offer a better life but even if initially they cost more but with time Sustainable buildings save money! It might sound unbelievable because of the general perception about increased capital cost in using sustainable design strategies with low returns. However, there are a plethora of studies that have been done and are available in the public domain to prove that the payback period is significantly reduced following the initial investments and the savings because sustainable design strategies are almost 10 times of the initial cost in the lifecycle of the building. Both residential and commercial buildings retain a high resale value if they include sustainable design components.
