With the rapid development of new technologies for environmental sustainability, we thought we'd take the opportunity to focus on places around the world that are making the most of them. As a way to spotlight efforts around the world, we've begun a series to keep us up with the happenings in what has become a global initiative: sustainability.
This week, we take a look at India, who is showing great progress in employing new greener technologies across various industries. In the hospitality industry, organizations such as the RambaghPalace in Jaipur are making use of new rain harvesting techniques to recycle water resources and reduce water consumption. Others, like JaiMahalPalace, have achieved success in utilizing similar water recycling techniques in their sewerage treatment and biogas plants.
But it doesn't end with hospitality; another area in which India is using new green technologies is construction. Green buildings are fast becoming home to several top businesses throughout India. To qualify as a green building, a building's management of energy, waste, materials and indoor air quality must meet a certain standard and its construction must be environmentally sustainable. One example of a green building is ITC's Green Centre in Gurgaon, which has reduced its water consumption by 40 percent and its energy consumption by more than 50 percent. The building uses materials and tools such as insulated glass and room sensors to appropriately adjust room temperatures.
Through its use of these new technologies and its commitment to further improving these methods, India is a fantastic example of the future of environmental sustainability, and we look forward to learning more about the actions that other nations are taking to conserve, protect and innovate as contributors to a global initiative for sustainability.
