By : Venkatesh M
Monu Kumar Goyal  |  Added idea  "Performance monitoring"  |  9 months ago
LEED India should have monitoring system for performance of green buildings, currently this is not mandatory but to keep a eye on green buildings it should be compulsory so that the value of Green certification will not get down...

GREEN CITIES : ‘India should not imitate the West’ ! By 2050, three-quarters of humanity will be staying in cities. With global warming threatening the world, building eco-friendly ‘green cities’ has become a challenge for urban planners and architects. Dietmar Eberle from the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, has made important contributions in this arena, designing innovative buildings in several European and Chinese cities. He discussed these issues with Subodh Varma : Education is the primary and essential prerequisite. Once the feelings, desires and knowledge of people are oriented towards bringing about a change in the way we have lived so far, then the means for building...
