Water footprints
Global water use doubled between 1961-2001,domestic use grew by more than four fold High income countries used about 1000 cu m water per person, twice as much as middle and low income countries, on average.
21-23 March,2005
Domestic 25%
Commercial 7%
21-23 March,2005
Water
a study in Class I cities of a few Indian states show that 56-68% of these cities receive less that 100 lpcd of water
Other environmental concerns Air and water pollution Depleting green cover Health risks
21-23 March,2005
Challenges
Creation of suitable policy environment at national and regional level Identification of suitable technological options. Awareness/capacity building of stakeholders Incentives /financing Access to markets for efficient products Commercial viability
21-23 March,2005
Policy framework
Ministry of Power has set up a Bureau of Energy Efficiency to develop energy codes for buildings (currently codes for commercial buildings under development) Ministry of Environment and forests mandates environmental clearance for large construction projects Ministry of Non conventional energy sources provides incentives to projects using renewable forms of energy Power for all by 2012: Rural electrification is the priority of the government

Activities
The main activities of this initiative in the first year are Formulation of technical criteria for development of eco houses. Support the formation of financing packages Showcase a model Eco-Housing residential sector project. The subsequent objectives of this initiative is to develop a long term plan for partnering with other organizations, to build capacity of architects and developers so as to support entrepreneurship in Eco-Housing.

Actions so far
Local municipal body has opened an eco housing cell within its structure to facilitate eco-housing
Local body is already taking initiative to mandate the following:
Rain water harvesting Use of recycled water for space cooling Waste water treatment plant for large colonies Specified green areas Solar water heating system for housing colonies
Technical criteria for development of eco housing has been drafted Website set up for information dissemination Study tours to international eco housing projects have been undertaken. Awards for eco buildings/industries/ housing/ organisations promoting eco projects have been instituted through local private bodies. Partners and roles in main streaming eco housing have been formalised.

Energy
21-23 March,2005
Lighting energy efficiency can bring about 20% energy savings over conventional systems
21-23 March,2005
Solar water heating system would meet 91% of water heating demand
21-23 March,2005
21-23 March,2005
Daylight integration by appropriate design to cut down on lighting requirements in houses Embodied energy content to be reduced by using industrial waste as construction material, using recyclable products, using wood substitutes and rapidly renewable materials Resource recovery from waste
21-23 March,2005
Water
21-23 March,2005
Water consumption Reduction in per capita water consumption by 25 % as compared to BIS standards of 135 l
Use of low flow fixtures and avoiding wastage and losses Promote use of WC with dual flush system with a flow rate of 3 l and 6 l per flush Faucets and aerators to be used for maintaining a flow rate of 2 lpm Encourage installation of water meters and regular monitoring of usage
21-23 March,2005

Water harvesting
Achieve optimum mix to recharge and storage Reuse Prevention of aquifer contamination
21-23 March,2005
Other criteria
To control air pollution due to construction Health of construction workers Handicap access Mixed income group housing
21-23 March,2005
21-23 March,2005
In conclusion..
Eco housing solutions are economically viable with minimal environmental footprint which can bring about 30-50% energy savings ,30-40% water savings
with reduction in... demand on the fossil fuels emissions pressure on natural resources e.g water. waste generation
