The Federal Republic of Germany and the Government of the Republic of India have, under the Indo-German Technical Cooperation, agreed to jointly promote the “Indo-German Energy Programme” (IGEN) with the aim to foster sustainability in built environment in order to use sustainable materials for Thermal comfort and in turn improve the environment and climate conditions.
IGEN’s programme, Climate Smart Buildings (CSB) proposes to extend technical assistance and cooperation for the following:
The objective of the Climate Smart Buildings programme is to enhance climate resilience and thermal comfort in buildings by adopting innovative passive measures, local, sustainable and low embodied energy material coupled with best available technologies in affordable housing.
Building constructed and operated through innovative technologies and use of appropriate modern products, materials and designs will lead to sustainability and mitigation of carbon emission in order to optimize the energy use and in turn improve the environment and climate protection.
