thermal insulation, the way forward
One of the major catastrophes we have brought on this planet is air pollution. And one of the major causes of air pollution in India is burning of fossil fuels.
A brief(-ish) history of ICF
The Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) of today is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete made with rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as
Beautifying buildings with EPS
When we think of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), no one automatically associates it with beauty. It does seem, after all, like a hunk of white
A crash course in designing an energy-efficient building
Energy efficiency is one of the most important aspects of green building design. The following are some basic terms that one needs to comprehend before going any

Yet they are at the helm of a segment that accounts for 35% of national energy consumption and generation of 40% of Green House Gases. This blog site is my humble effort at making them”conceptually aware” of facts they already know quite well.
