Congratulations to the team who made PEDA Building whose design has helped to save the energy and money (Greenest of all, DTE 31st Oct 2012). This building design and way of saving energy & money is the most needy to all in general and particularly for developing country like India.

Now our Country is facing severe Power crises and affected the production and finally the quality of life of the people. Though the initiations for the alternatives like Bio Gas, Hydro thermal, Wind energy, Solar energy and others are at initial stage and could not come out with sustainable ways. At this stage, the design of PEDA and its claim on saving energy & money is the welcome step and more such things should come into the reality.

Now, the need of the hour is to know about its:

£ Scale up, Replication and Sustainability (SRS)
£ Conveniences and comfortability
£ Cost effectiveness
£ Affordability & Accessibility
£ suitability at all terrains and environments
£ extent of Eco-friendliness ....................

If the answer to the above points is acceptable to the stakeholders at all levels, then the Government should encourage the Institute to do more research if necessary to replicate the designs matching to the needs of the local environment and people.

Looking forward to share more on this most needy energy & money saving designs for its better "Scale up, Replication and Sustainability"  ....

All the Best
