Chandrashekar Hariharan, CEO and Co-founder, BCIL
B&E: What has been the recent trend in growth of the industry?
CH: The shift toward voluntary compliance in the building industry is heartening. The CII IGBC has alone received applications from totaling a massive 750 million sq. ft. in all for both commercial and residential buildings. This drive from the private sector has been primarily led by their own perceived need to build brand profiles with such ethical, eco-sensitive initiatives. This number is growing. The IGBC has targeted reaching 1 billion Sft of such certified green buildings by 2012.
B&E: What changes in the legal and regulatory framework can ensure fast paced large scale development of the industry?
CH: The simple expedient of every Town Planning department in India, in every state, district and tehsil headquarters must ensure that no plan sanction is offered without solar heating systems for every building for hot water, CFLs and LEDs only for all lighting, STP and reuse of all treated water in every multi-dwelling building, regardless of whether it is residential, commercial, hospital or for tourism purpose and use of only 5-star rated energy-efficient pumps and other high-induction appliances in buildings.
B&E: What's the kind of investments you have made or planned and what are your turnover targets for green building projects in the next 3-5 years?
CH: BCIL's vision has continued to be mainstreaming sustainability, from the time of its inception in 1995. The organisation's Mission 2020 now has set a path that will help to achieve 20 percent growth annually to reach 20 million sq.ft. of sustainably built green spaces, with the impact of what we offer to reach a minimum of 200,000 people.
