"Green buildings are no longer a luxury; they are a compliance necessity."
Anjali Desai on why sustainability is the new standard in development.
With the new energy conservation codes and carbon neutrality goals, developers don't have a choice. You either build green, or you don't build.
But it's not just about compliance. Buyers are smarter. They ask about thermal insulation, water harvesting, and solar capacity. They know these lower their long-term operating costs.
We are seeing a surge in demand for 'Net Zero' ready homes. These are homes designed to produce as much energy as they consume.
Technology is the enabler. BIM (Building Information Modeling) allows us to simulate energy performance before a single brick is laid. This is essentially 'simulation-driven design' becoming mainstream.
