The construction industry faces a significant environmental challenge dual objectives in achieving the of providing high living standards and maintaining ecological sustainability. Buildings should not only serve as shelters but also offer essential physiological comforts. These include visual comfort, enabling occupants to perform daily tasks efficiently, and thermal comfort, ensuring an appropriate indoor temperature throughout the year. These comforts can be achieved either naturally or artificially. The challenge lies in delivering these comforts without compromising the sustainability of the building process and the structures themselves.
Dhaval Ajmera, director, Ajmera Realty, says, "As developers, we are driven to promote a green and eco-friendly living. To keep our buildings green, we choose the eco-labelled products and components that helps to conserve natural resources. For example, energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting system, recycled materials, solar panels, green roofs and high-performance windows that significantly reduces the burden on electricity. Along with this, we install water-efficient fixtures." Highinsulation materials, such performance as recycled denim, cellulose, or spray foam, help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing heating and cooling energy consumption. Vegetated roofs and walls provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, improve air quality, and create habitat for wildlife, contributing to a healthier urban environment.
