The term “thermal mass” describes a material’s capacity to absorb, store, and release heat. Since it is essential for controlling interior temperatures, improving comfort, and lowering energy use, this idea is basic to sustainable architecture and energy-efficient building design.
Designing climate resilience water and sewage treatment systems is crucial for ensuring they can withstand and recover from climate challenges.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a regulatory framework proposed by the EU to impose a carbon levy on imports from countries with less stringent climate policies.
In the realm of electrical systems, one crucial but often overlooked component is the earthing system. This system serves as a safety measure by providing a path for fault currents to safely dissipate into the ground, preventing electrical shocks, fires, and equipment damage. However, the issue of under sizing the earthing system poses significant risks that cannot be ignored.
This year’s COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, is poised to shift global climate action into high gear by focusing on finance. With priority on the New Collective Quantified Goal for climate finance beyond 2025, COP29 aims to secure commitments that ensure emerging and developing nations can adapt and mitigate effectively. Parliamentary roles will be essential, establishing legislation that drives public-private investments in renewable energy, resilience, and adaptation. The conference will also operationalize the Loss and Damage Fund, crucial for supporting vulnerable communities facing climate impacts.
In recent years, the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into business strategies has gained significant momentum globally. In India, the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC) have been instrumental in shaping the responsible business landscape.
Water conservation is a vital, yet often underappreciated, component of achieving decarbonization. By reducing the energy required for water extraction, treatment, heating, and wastewater management, water conservation efforts can significantly lower carbon emissions
Enhancing Resiliency and Resource Recovery: Transforming Wastewater into Water and Energy In the face of growing environmental challenges, the need
The progress of green building ratings in India has been significant, driven by growing awareness of sustainability and the need to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. Various rating systems, such as the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), EDGE and LEED India, have been instrumental in promoting eco-friendly practices.
In recent years, Bangalore, like many cities worldwide, has been grappling with a water crisis worsened by rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate change. Amidst this challenge, recycling greywater has emerged as a favourable solution to alleviate the strain on freshwater resources and address water scarcity issues in the city.
