In our current era, we’re facing significant challenges due to climate change and the increasing scarcity of water on a global scale. It’s crucial that we adopt sustainable practices to conserve water and minimize the negative impact on our environment. One such eco-friendly solution is rainwater harvesting, which has the potential to lead campuses and communities towards achieving a ‘net zero water’ status.
High electricity bills are becoming a major pain point in resident’s everyday life. With the growing demands for electronic gadgets and increasing dependency on electrical equipment such as a fridge, ACs, water heaters, computers, laptops, mobile devices, speakers, washing machines, and much more the use of electricity will only go up.
When it comes to construction and real estate development in India, it’s not just about aesthetics and functionality; it’s also about safety and well-being. Public Health Engineering (PHE) and Life Safety Systems play a pivotal role in ensuring that buildings are not just structures but safe havens for occupants. In this blog, we’ll explore what PHE engineering is, what Life Safety Systems entail, and why they are indispensable in the Indian context.
Human beings are a complex system of hormones, moods, and delicate chemical and physical balance. Raise the temperature to even 2 degrees Celsius and you’re sick. Go through two bad days of sleeping and you get headaches.
Both commercial and residential buildings built without the proper installation of fire hazard measures are at risk of such accidents.

Cities have had a turbulent engagement with water throughout history. Our greatest urban centers owe their very existence to the harbors, rivers, and drinking water sources that provided inspiration for development and the means for economic prosperity. Yet, despite our instinctive attraction to water, we have all too often exploited the relationship by confining it, degrading it, and largely ignoring it.
Urbanization is happening at a very rapid rate in India. Cities are becoming more populated as people from rural areas and small towns migrate. New infrastructure is being created all over the country in every major city. All of which drives economic growth and brings more opportunity to people, but due to unplanned urbanization and climate change, disasters such as urban flooding and water stagnation are becoming more frequent.
Biophilic design intertwines architecture and the natural environment. Prioritizing health and wellbeing have become the supreme goal in designing spaces especially after pandemic. Biophilia is not just for aesthetics, its benefits delve deep into human wellbeing as well as regulating biodiversity and global warming.
Across the globe, primarily in urban centers, an ongoing struggle is underway against environmental deterioration stemming from the effects of climate change. Urban expansion shows no signs of slowing, consumption rates remain unabated, and demands continue to surge, all while urbanization persists. If this trajectory endures, where might we find ourselves in a quarter-century?
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the concept of net zero has gained significant traction and importance. With climate change becoming a pressing global concern, organizations across various industries are increasingly focusing on reducing their carbon footprint and embracing sustainable practices. Achieving net zero status has become a paramount goal for companies worldwide, but the question remains: Is your organization truly ready for net zero?
