The Infrastructure Industry has increasingly become more conscious about adopting eco-friendly practices in both residential and commercial buildings. A large number of infrastructure companies have responded to issues relevant to environment degradation by adopting energy-efficient technologies. Many infrastructure projects are being embedded with environment-friendly raw materials and a growing number of infrastructure companies are consulting environmentalists. Many companies have started to invest more in R&D to address green infrastructure issues including improving designs in water and energy related services. So will Green become a National Agenda? Against this backdrop, The Economic Times is organizing Infragreen 2011. A forum dedicated to provide insights into implementation of Green Practices in the built environment, how green makes business sense and to engage in exchange of innovative green perspectives among Industry experts.

Real Estate Going Green

The Green element in real estate projects positively impacts investment yields, operating costs and accomodating potential, at the same time, offering customers a positive living and working environment. A green-friendly approach will drive this segment to operate in a greener environment and use resources with utmost care. To ensure wider footprint of green, realtors need to develop comprehensive environmental concepts and bring in pioneering construction and maintenance ideas. It is time for developers to assume the responsibility to adopt green building practises, technologies, materials, products and services. By actively engaging in greening the built environment, they will help creating noticeable green footprints across India.

SESSION 2: PM The Big Infra-Construction Opportunity: Capitalizing on a 41 Lakh Crore Pie

2-3

Dr. V. K. R. V. Rao [noted Indian economist, early 1980s] The link between infrastructure and economic development is not a once and for all affair. It is a continuous process; and progress in development has to be preceded, accompanied, and followed by progress in infrastructure, if we are to fulfill our declared objectives of generating a self-accelerating process of economic development. Infrastructure investment in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan would double to $1 trillion. Therefore, adopting green practices in construction materials and services is the need of the hour. Therefore, in this session we put the focus on the infrastructure development required in the built environment, what has been done and what more needs to be done immediately to make them sustainable and environment friendly. Also, we will discuss how engineering and construction companies can take advantage of the abundant opportunities in this segment. Even waste materials can become the next big money spinning opportunity. A big focus on the much talked about REUSE mantra. Interaction Points: Making contracts green the new age clients Mechanisation and speed making development sustainable A discussion on prefab, off-site construction technologies Standards What the laws mandate Carbon Credits making projects cost-effective Waste the money spinner Certifications: marking green spots
