A green building is not just a building with solar cells mounted on its roof. If you run a commercial building, office, housing complex or industrial plant, you are well aware that the consumption of energy goes far beyond the production of electricity. Lighting, air conditioning, pumps, lifts, machinery and other equipment keep consuming power...

For many Indian families, solar rooftops offer an easy way to overcome the issue of huge electricity bills. However, there is another issue that still lingers. What would happen if there was no sun or a disruption in electricity supply from the grid? Here comes the importance of solar battery storage. When using a solar...

The concept of a solar system has changed much from being just a system of panels mounted on a roof. In today’s industry, what is more important is the performance of the system once it has been installed. This is where smart solar energy management takes the client through how the solar energy system generates,...

The value of every commercially occupied asset reduces over time. The floors get worn, the heating system starts functioning inefficiently, electrical systems become old, and the facilities need improvement. It is normal for assets to depreciate, but not to deteriorate at an accelerated pace. Most organisations tend to concentrate more on the cost of construction...

An effective EPC project doesn’t just start at the point of construction. Rather, the start comes way before that, at the point of understanding the site itself. Several instances of delays, budget blowouts, and revisions to designs can be attributed to one single forgotten part in the EPC project cycle, which is the pre-construction site...

The operation of the high-rise building requires much more than just architecture. Behind each comfy office space, conference rooms, and collaboration zones lies an HVAC system that works all day to ensure that there is a good internal climate. As opposed to conventional commercial buildings, HVAC systems in high-rise buildings are far more sophisticated. These...

The purpose of industrial sheds is to enable production, storage and expansion of business activities. But the most valuable resource of industrial sheds is often overlooked: the rooftop. In the face of growing expenses related to electricity, this unused part of industrial sheds can be an invaluable source of energy saving by using solar power....

Power theft continues to be one of the major hurdles in electricity distribution in India. Power theft impacts utility revenue generation, raises operational inefficiencies and even ends up increasing prices for consumers who use electricity legally. The existing system of metering made it challenging to detect power theft immediately since the process involved manual checks....
