Laying the ‘Green’ Foundations by Confronting Tough Challenges
It has not been an easy task for PEC Greening to break the myth – ‘Green Buildings are very expensive and claims an additional 10-15% cost’. This notion threw a negative impact on constructing the green buildings and was considered as a major hiccup in the path towards sustainable building technology. For them, convincing the client/developer that Green buildings were actually the better choice was a major challenge.
The present environmental regulations are an integral part of the project design and green products are easily available in the market at a low-cost, nowadays. The green building incentives provided by the Government in most states of the country presently are definitely giving the boost to promote green buildings, even to the builders with a conventional approach mindset. A few prominent builders undertake the green initiatives as a part of their social responsibility towards the environment. Being a green building consultant, PEC Greening strived hard to allay all the client fears by proving the cost efficiency of green buildings. The cost of adopting the Green building principles in the residential sector is negligible. “Even though the capital cost of efficient technology is higher in commercial buildings, we now have analytical proof that operational cost ensures payback within a couple of years and savings for the rest of the building’s lifetime”, asserts Ms Mala Singh while explaining the challenges.
PEC’s Distinctive Strategies Beating the Diverse Building Disciplines
Besides the standards that are currently in place with the diverse building disciplines such as fire-safety, security, building automation, lighting, and so on, there are separate directives to govern the sustainability of any project.
