In this panel, we discuss the environmental and economic consequences of ignoring passive design in building construction, with a focus on carbon footprint, renewable energy, biodegradable materials etc. Join us as we delve into how passive design can mitigate the impact of India’s growing urban heat islands and how to translate passive design concepts from the drawing board to construction sites. Learn about success stories of various passive design strategies that are being implemented in residential, commercial, and public spaces in India including form and material manipulation to include natural ventilation, for natural temperature control for energy efficient indoor environments.
