It is a well-known fact that the real estate sector is one of the largest contributors to global emissions of greenhouse gases. Of these, office buildings contribute a larger contribution towards global warming. This is because the users in these buildings consume a tremendous amount of energy for air conditioning and lighting.
In this context, the Surat Diamond Bourse has offset these challenges by using latest and modern technologies. Due to its design and low-tech passive strategies, the Bourse will consume 50 percent less energy than a typical green building. The building has earned the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Platinum rating. Sonali Rastogi, the Founding Partner at Morphogenesis is the woman behind this world’s largest commercial building.
