• CO2 Emission Reduction
• Clean Air
• Adoption of Cleaner fuels
• Health Benefits
• New businesses & employment opportunities

Organo's belief

It's critical that real estate companies join such missions so that many more key milestones and roadmaps can be achieved in the coming future.

Organo believes that the earth is not inherited from our ancestors but borrowed from our children. We share this planet with millions of other species.

And it's critical to understand & ensure that all species continue to inhabit this planet — and not become extinct.It's critical that real estate companies join such missions so that many more key milestones and roadmaps can be achieved in the coming future.

IGBC Net Zero Energy Buildings Rating

The IGBC rating tool enables the designer to apply energy efficiency concepts and adopt appropriate renewable sources by design to achieve Net Zero Energy status.

For existing buildings, it enables the implementation of energy-efficient measures to reduce energy consumption.

It also meets the rest of the energy requirements through renewable energy sources to help in:

• Improvement in energy efficiency & reduce annual energy consumption to the tune of about 30% with respect to the National baseline.
• Reliable source of power supply, if combined with energy storage devices.

Adapting Net Zero Water helps in:

• Improvement in water efficiency and hence reduction in annual water consumption to the tune of up to 50% with respect to the National baseline.
• Reduced dependency on raw water.
