Integration of Renewable Energy in Buildings in India

The webinar is expected to discuss different technological options and the enabling regulatory and policy environment to ensure the effective implementation of the models developed under the project. The stakeholders/participants are required to provide inputs about the necessary steps to be taken to customize technologies suitable as per the local conditions before installation and how developers and technology providers should see the market potential for increased use of renewable energy technologies in buildings in India.

In India, Swiss Development and Cooperation (SDC) has been supporting a project named “Integration of Renewable Energy in Buildings in India”. The broad objective of the project is to design, showcase and monitor building integrated and innovative renewable energy technologies suitable to and affordable in the local condition and applicable for different categories of buildings, which are currently given a major push at the government level in India. Considering that the project is expected to demonstrate the technological interventions for building integrated renewable energy and provide capacity building support to government and private sector stakeholders in India to design and construct buildings and housing societies with increased integration of renewable energy technologies, the project is organizing a webinar with key stakeholders to achieve the following objectives: 1. What kind of technological interventions for building integrated renewable energy can be selected for demonstration of pilots to prove their suitability in different conditions. 2. What kind of models that the project should support for de-risking of investments for promotion of increased use of renewable energy in buildings.
