Net Zero Water plays a key role in creating resilient and sustainable cities of the future. Capturing, treating, and reusing water on-site reduces dependency on external water sources and mitigates the risk of shortages. In rapidly urbanizing areas, this approach helps manage demand, prevents overextraction of groundwater, and minimizes strain on municipal infrastructure. It also...
Introduction: The Carbon Transparency Imperative In today’s eco-conscious market, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) have evolved from nice-to-have metrics to business-critical tools. With tightening regulations like the EU Taxonomy, Carbon Border Tax, and LEED v4.1, companies that delay adopting EPDs risk: ✔ Lost bids in green procurement tenders ✔ Financial penalties...
Revolutionizing MEPF Design with Value Engineering In an era where sustainability and cost efficiency dominate construction priorities, Value Engineering (VE) has emerged as a game-changer for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection (MEPF) systems. By aligning with National Building Code (NBC) norms and innovating beyond prescriptive standards, Conserve Consultants demonstrates how VE transforms project outcomes. ...
The MSME sector is a key part of India’s economy, contributing to the country’s GDP, exports, employment, and as well as to increasing Carbon emissions. The number of MSMEs in India is expected to grow from 6.3 crore to ~ 7.5 crore in the coming years. According to a study by CSTEP, implementing a combination...
Decarbonization is no longer an option—it is a mandate for companies aiming to align with global and national climate goals. A top-down approach to crafting decarbonization pathways involves understanding a country’s climate commitments, in line with the Paris Agreement. This includes both short- and long-term climate goals, taking into account the available carbon budget necessary...
As a kid, I was fascinated by the “The Matrix” series, drawn to its innovative technology, thrilling action sequences, and dynamic cast, even though the central theme was too complex for me to connect with the real world at that time. Fast forward to 20 years. Recently when I watched the trilogy again, apart from...

The popularity of green building construction has given rise to a variety of approaches that aim to guide architects, designers, materials...
The impact of climate change we observe across the world such as rising temperatures & sea level, irregular rainfall and tectonic plat shifts are not new to the current generation. These changes in climate & geophysical pattern are observed for many years in the past as well. The case of Easter Islanders is also one...

Researchers say deaths linked to COVID-19 and air pollution represents ‘potentially avoidable, excess mortality’. Long-term exposure to air pollution may be linked to 15 percent of COVID-19 deaths globally, according to a new study. Published in the journal Cardiovascular Research on Tuesday, the research from German and Cypriot experts analysed health and disease data from...
We’ve all heard of solar-panelled roofs, even solar-powered cars. But what about solar pavements? “Platio is a walkable solar panel pavement.” Imre Sziszak is the co-founder and engineer at the Hungary-based tech company Platio. He says just two meters squared of walkable solar pavement can provide enough green energy to power public lights and a...
The first wave of solar panels is reaching the end of their useful lives. Now they can become new solar panels instead of trash. The global surge in solar power is helping quickly lower the cost of solar panels and shrink energy’s carbon footprint, with around 70,000 solar panels being installed every hour by 2018, and an...
