Introduction

 



World over, today the major thrust and focus is on constructing environment friendly buildings. The concept is slowly spreading across various other countries across the globe, including India.

Real estate in India is growing at the rate of 30 % every year. If this growth is to be sustainable, adoption of eco-friendly designs in the housing sector is a necessity. This would go a long way in addressing the national priorities such as water conservation energy efficiency etc.,

The green building movement in India, spearheaded by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) is making rapid strides in the Indian Construction Industry. IGBC has launched Green Homes rating system in the year 2008.Till date, there are about 135 green home projects registered with the IGBC, amounting to a green footprint of 138 Million Sq ft .

In the above context, IGBC is organising a two day conference on Green Homes during 30 & 31 July 2010 at New Delhi.

The conference offers an excellent opportunity to learn more on the green home concepts, & also provides a platform for establishing new contacts, networking & exploring business opportunities.
