Property Development and Green Buildings for an Energy Secure World

Urban space is much more dynamic than what a photo or article like this one can ever capture. The concept of an Energy Secure Future with Green Buildings should use resources and energy with a degree of simplicity and directness. The approach towards creating a sense of place, identity and belonging is to develop sustainable communities and improve the environment. Encouraging people to live side by side more closely will help the local ecology to flourish, because the community can utilise superior water stations and sewage treatment plants, as well as improving electricity consumption patterns.

Green building or green construction or sustainable building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. It expands and complements contemporary building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

Some smart real estate developers in India are reported to be betting on green buildings - use less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and healthier for neighborhood. Though it involve high cost compared traditional buildings, property developers see it as an opportunity, no wonder. Is it for planet earth or their own pockets - anyone's guess.

Many forward-looking companies and government agencies tasked with reducing their environmental footprint have adopted many products, such as solar panels, efficient lighting, and on-site fuel cells or biomass boilers. The energy load of buildings can also be significantly reduced by tightening the building envelope and thick insulation.

Home buying guide – do's and dont's when buying a house

Buying a house is everyone’s dream. But not all of them are able to convert that dream into a reality. So whenever you do want to buy your own home, don’t rush into things. There is a long list of dos and don’ts to consider. Be judicious even when you are taking a tiny decision in this regard, because you are obviously in no mood to sell your house in case anything goes wrong. It is a lifelong decision you have to take.

Consider the following points:

  • Check your current financial situation. You have waited for years for this day to come; if need be, you can wait for another couple of years. Don’t rush into any lucrative deal that a real estate developer offers you.
  • Make visits to the locality in which you will be staying, as it is important for your family to live in a clean and healthy environment in all aspects.
  • When you are ready to invest in your new home, search for a reputed Brand Name in real estate, make sure that the company must be ISO Certified.

Whether you're looking for an investment property in the buy-to-let market, or a second home abroad, choose an agent, broker, builder or banker you can TRUST. Under such uncertain market conditions, one should not Buy any Property without TRUST! Like everyone, the smart sellers always find a way of apologizing for their mistakes later - leaving you, the poor buyer, high and dry.
