Abstract

One of the most energy intensive sectors in India is the building sector. Consumption of energy is likely to rise even further due to the increase in urbanization, industrialization and living standards. Fuel price has been rising constantly. In a scenario like this reduction in the use of energy can be achieved significantly by applying various energy efficient techniques when constructing a building and even on existing buildings.
