FAQ :
The Vice President suggests that Finance Commissions and local bodies should offer tax incentives and create online portals for single-window clearance to encourage green buildings.
Yes, the Vice President opines that every future building should go green mandatorily, applying to all types of construction.
Buildings and construction account for 39% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, and green buildings are crucial for de-carbonisation, resource efficiency, and balancing economic development with environmental protection.
A mass media campaign is needed to create awareness among the public about the advantages of green homes, as there is currently a lack of awareness.
Roof cooling involves using materials and techniques to reduce heat absorption in buildings. It's a priority because many Indian roofs trap heat, contributing to urban heat islands, and cool roofs can significantly lower indoor temperatures.
He noted that ancient Indian civilisational values teach harmony with nature and suggested revisiting traditional, nature-friendly house designs that are climate-responsive, contrasting them with modern structures.
