Green Buildings Could Save Our Cities
As the world’s urban population expands, architects and planners are mapping out ways to make cities more sustainable. Cities produce a vast amount of emissions and waste, putting a strain on both human and ecological health. But our buildings themselves
Energy efficiency cuts carbon from buildings
With the highest efficiency standards, countries can cut household carbon emissions at no cost to consumers—and achieve the UN’s climate goals. Massive savings in carbon emissions are possible worldwide if governments adopt the highest energy efficiency standards for lighting and other
BEE: Raising AC setting by 1° can save 6% power
Increasing the air-conditioner temperature setting by just 1 degree Celsius can save about 6 per cent of electricity consumption, according to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. A BEE statement said that typically the temperature is set at 20-21 degree Celsius, whereas,
