Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator suggests super-efficient ACs, usage of greener concrete mixes to curb emissions

Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator, initiated last year to cut down emissions for the built environment, thereby accelerating and maximising the sector’s contribution to India’s 2070 net-zero emissions target, has come out with findings that can be adopted for reduction of carbon foot print by real estate developers. These include adoption of strategies that make cities heat resilient, advanced adoption of superefficient air conditioning and fans in India, enhanced usage of greener concrete mixes including recently launched LC3 cement, increased shared mobility and EV charging infrastructure, and promotion of renewable integration across all domains of the built environment. Last year, real estate developer Lodha and RIM came together to establish Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator with an objective to suggest measures for the sector to achieve Net Zero goals. We are committed to becoming a net-zero carbon company by 2035 and have made substantial progress to achieve this ahead of schedule.” “We are keen to share our experience and learnings through this transition with industry and supply chain and are pleased that our partnership with the renowned Rocky Mountain Institute has resulted in the Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator.
