GreenSpaces™ is all set to be the World’s most energy efficient commercial building, and will be ready for occupation in 2013.
GreenSpaces was nominated by the Government of India and accepted as a reference Flagship project by the Asia Pacific Partnership (APP) of seven countries - Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea and USA. These countries, together, use 50% of the World’s energy and also contribute to 50% of its pollution.
The GreenSpaces™ team has launched the ‘GreenSpaces Challenge’ and invites creative and innovative people around the globe to contribute ideas, products or services that will help improve energy efficiency by over 80% and / reduce cost.GreenSpaces Challenge provides an opportunity for all – students, engineers, scientists, researchers, suppliers, architects. It is an opportunity for participants to position themselves at the forefront of technology and for onlookers to experience a glimpse of the future of a sustainable building. According to the recent studies on climate change, buildings account for 50% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and 40% of global energy use. This clearly represents a challenge and an opportunity for all.
GreenSpaces’s mission is to achieve dramatic energy savings by reshaping the way commercial buildings are designed and built. Its current design saves 74.4% energy over a standard ‘A’ grade building and the aim is to achieve + 80%. It will demonstrate that the energy footprint of buildings can be reduced from 40% to 10% of global energy usage, and serve as a role model for all future buildings.
