SUSTAINABILITY :: India’s first net-positive bui

SUSTAINABILITY :: India’s first net-positive building!

Leading the way in design, Edifice Consultants has conceived and realised India’s first net-positive building and, in doing so, has created a template for the here and now.

As the new headquarters for the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Atal Akshaya Urja Bhawan is the exemplification of sustainability. Heralded as India’s first net-positive building, this project expresses MNRE’s vision of integrating renewable energy systems and passive strategies to make them accessible and educative to the general public.

Atal Akshaya Urja Bhawan has created new paradigms for energy-conscious development in India and the design demonstrates the Ministry’s mission to help encourage future developments that incorporate such sustainable principles.
