The UrjaAnk initiative, under the Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator with RMI India Foundation, sets a new benchmark for addressing residential energy efficiency in India. Leveraging Palava City as a "living lab," it delivers insights to reduce energy consumption and enhance sustainability.
The whitepaper analyzes energy patterns through surveys and real-world data, identifying ways to optimize appliance efficiency, improving building design, and fostering behavioural changes among residents. It introduces localized energy metrics and strategies to bridge gaps between design-phase assumptions and actual energy use.
Supporting India’s 2070 net-zero goal, the whitepaper offers a replicable framework for benchmarking residential energy use, promoting energy transparency, and engaging stakeholders across sectors. UrjaAnk catalyzes transformative change in urban residential landscape, aligning with national sustainability goals for a climate-conscious future.
Transforming the built environment is critical to achieving India’s ambitious net-zero climate targets announced by the Hon’ble Prime Minister at COP26.
Gateway to India’s Dymaxion is a publication indicative of India’s cultural prowess represented in its buildings and its embrace of a commitment towards a sustainable future.
Together, this document encapsulates the spirit of innovative, collaborative, efficient, futuristic, and sustainable growth that India aspires to in its built environments. With India’s building stock set to double in the next two decades, the sector has significant responsibility and opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Recognising the sector’s pivotal role, Lodha and RMI India Foundation established the Net-Zero Urban Accelerator in July 2022. This initiative is not merely a response to the climate challenge, it’s a vision to redefine urban development and lead India’s transition towards net-zero by 2070.
