Buying a green home ensures energy efficiency leading to enormous saving along with a more comfortable and durable space. Green Homes combine state-of-the-art energy-efficient construction, appliances, cooling systems, and lighting, with passive design strategies which take advantage of local climate and site conditions. Hope this property show will increase the awareness on the long-term benefits of IGBC-rated green buildings. We encourage home buyers to give preference to IGBC-rated projects to encourage builders to plan homes, apartments, villas, and plots that adhere to sustainable practices.”
