GOING GREEN: AN ECOFRIENDLY DRIVE FOR THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Abstract

We enter our office building and go straight to the parking lot. What do we get to see there? Parking is not allowed in the basement. Just to increase vegetation. Not only this, there are preferred car parking areas for car pooling vehicles and recharge stations for alternative fuel vehicles. Now imagine this! Our office uses sensitive air conditioners that automatically alter the room temperature depending upon the number of people in the room. It also uses eco-friendly paint on walls. The structure of the building is in such a way that it uses 95 per cent natural light. Well, don‟t be surprised we are simply working in a green environment! Corporate India is waking up to the benefits of green architecture including lower running costs and a better brand image. Companies are increasingly acknowledging the benefits of green architecture not just from an environmental perspective, but even from a cost management angle.
