Flooding events are on the rise across the world, in fact there is an increasing trend in the number of disasters and their total economic impacts. Floods have the greatest damage potential of all-natural disasters and affect the greatest number of people. Flood risk ignores borders, rainfall in one location can correlate to flooding in another. On a global basis, there is evidence that damages resulting from flooding are on the rise at an alarming rate. It is estimated that flooding affects more than 250 million people globally each year and results in over 1000 crores in economic damages. This is a trend that will continue unless concerted actions are taken to mitigate the impacts from flood risks.

The demand for sustainability in the era of increasing environmental problems has become a motto for companies and people. The world has entered the stage of “Nature Recovery,” emphasizing the need to revitalize resources rather than merely striving for minimal resource utilization.

As the complexity and energy efficiency of buildings continue to rise, effectively managing and optimizing their performance becomes a more intricate task. Thankfully, there exists a solution to aid in this endeavour: the Building Management System (BMS).

Climate change has necessitated global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A pivotal tool in this fight is the concept of carbon credits, which come in various forms and are integral to both regulatory and voluntary markets. In this blog, we’ll explore the nuances of carbon credits, focusing on Compliance Carbon Credits, Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), Emission Reduction Units (ERUs), and Verified Emission Reductions (VERs).

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. We can’t take this lightly; this must be addressed on a wide scale. Due to a lack of awareness and the attitude of “this won’t happen to me”, people don’t just put their properties and residents at risk, but they also endanger others around them.

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.
