Renewable Energy in Building Sector
Abstract
This is Study about Renewable Energy in building sector. The study first tries to
understand the need of RE in building sector The study revolves around three
major stakeholders related to building structure i.e Government, Developer and
Purchaser. The study focuses on mentality, approach, options, acceptance,
innovations, problems and effects of Renewable energy in building sector.
The study also tries to understand difficulty in implementing Renewable Energy
systems in building sector . The study also tries to study various schemes by
govt to promote Renewable energy . This study becomes very interesting
because it is very complicated field as every area, every building and every RE
system is different
Introduction
Background
Currently, the building industry accounts for 40% of global energy and water
consumption, and almost 48% of solid waste is generated by building
inhabitants. Since our energy requirements are primarily dependent on fossil
fuels, and water is a scarce resource, it necessitates the buildings in Maharashtra
be constructed in an environment-friendly way. The green concepts and
techniques are aimed to achieve energy efficiency, effective waste management,
and to ensure that minimum stress is being put on natural resources. Green
buildings have tremendous benefits, both tangible and intangible. The most
tangible benefits are the reduction in water and energy consumption right from
day one of occupancy. The energy savings could range from 20 - 30 % and
water savings around 30 - 50%. The intangible benefits of green buildings
include enhanced air quality, excellent day-lighting, health & well-being of the
occupants, safety benefits and conservation of scarce national resources.While
energy efficiency is being incorporated into new construction, existing buildings
account for a majority of the building stock that will be in place in the
foreseeable future

RENEWABLE ENERGY IN BUILDING SECTOR
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
environment on human health and natural environment by:
Government Schemes
The Govt Schemes and subsidies motivates and encourages developers and
investors to make more green buildings
• The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Designed and started. The
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED – India) system

RENEWABLE ENERGY IN BUILDING SECTOR
• All IGBC rated green building projects in the MSME sector shall be
eligible for financial assistance at concessional rates from Small
Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI).
The govt of Maharashtra will sign MoU TER- GRIHA(Green Rating for
Integrated Habitat assessment system ) and GBCI LEED ( Leadership in
Energy & Environment design )
Incentives
For Developers
The Govt will give rebate to developers on development cost based on the
rating achieved by above mentioned agency
TERI- GRIHA
Ratings
Three stars 2.5%
Four Stars 05%
Five Stars 7.5%

Key Objectives
The main objective of this study is to understand how building sector is adding
to 40 % of total energy consumption.
Primary Research
Met Mr Mihir Tanna , of Tanna Developers and took his views. He says the cost
increases . Also he raised a very good point saying we work on Demand and
supply
Was lucky to have one client at his site, Savji bhai’s reply was really impressive
he said “Scenario will change when purchasers say we want green building and
not big lobby”
Secondary Research
Media Articles
Online Research
Analysis
Three Stakeholders
Developer : I really feel developers are interested to make more Green buildings
and RE systems installed but they have many problems. Like Construction Cost
, Technology, Awareness , space, motivation and lack of real rebate .
Customers: The day we ask “Bhaiya acha fal do”..instead of “Bhaiya Meetha
Fal do “will be the day RE systems in building sector will be a reality.
For a customer priority is bigger flat, bigger amenities .
But after interacting with several corporate working youth , it feels time is
changing people are not just demanding but also themselves using appliances
which are saving Energy
Conclusion
To Sum up what I feel is to remove a particular system , one has to first create
alternative and not just alternative but equivalent alternative
There are major three four points on which we as society has to work
1) Awareness
2) Availability of Technology
3) Awareness again
4) Motivation & Compulsion from Govt
5) Awards for same
Recommendations
2) Use of Plastic Roads should be adapted by developers for internal roads and
not just by govt ( Invention of Prof R Vasudevan)
