World energy outlook World energy consumption is expected to grow by 49 percent from 2007 to 2035 Coal consumption is expected to grow at 1.1% per year from 2007- 2020 and 2% per year from 2020 - 2035 Oil consumption worldwide is expected to grow by 1.4% per year from 2003 - 2030 Global electricity consumption is set to explode to over 30 trillion kWhrs by 2030 growing @ 3.6 % annually 2
3
Energy efficiency - a resource Energy efficiency should be treated as a National Resource, similar to Coal, Oil & Gas 3
4
Strong linkage between energy used and water in India In India, there is a direct link between water and energy efficiency on account of use of energy inefficient & increasing capacity of pumps to extract groundwater A 33% shortfall of water has been projected for India by 2050 4
5
Benefit Plus with time Benefits of energy efficiency will increase with rising demand and cost of energy 5
6
A simple low cost solution Color of Green is White White color reflects light and heat into space For centuries, India has practiced this principle It is similar to India’s discovery of ‘Zero’ If one visits the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur and look down, one will only see white or blue rooftops, painted with lime wash 6
7
The Color of Green is White In support, U.S.A Energy Secretary, Dr. Steven Chu says, “Make it white” Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory (LBNL) estimates worldwide energy savings of $27 billion/ year with cool white roofs (2008) 7
8
Buildings and Energy Energy demand is set to increase by 30% in the next 10 years Buildings account for 40% of all the energy used by humans on the planet 60% of human population will be living in cities in the next 15 years It is said that 2/3 of India is yet to be built It will need over 10 million new homes each year for the next two decades In urban areas, there is growing preference for working and living in air-conditioned spaces We need to be more energy, water and waste efficient in buildings, of all sorts 8
9
Paharpur Business Centre & Software Technology Incubator Park A 4,650 m 2 building, built to Government design, in Nehru Place, New Delhi It is a Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, Govt. of India, 5 star rated building, with certified annual average electricity consumption 28whr / hr/ m2 PBC is the first retrofit office building in the country to be USGBC LEED “EB” Platinum Certified www.pbcnet.com Currently there are 62 Platinum EB rated buildings of USGBC, worldwide 9
10
Leveraging smart technologies at PBC TM -STIP “We grow our own fresh air” using green plants Experienced an amazing increase in human productivity by 20% and reduction in energy consumption by 9.2% We conserve energy, water and reduce waste with: Efficient HVAC system, Rainwater harvesting LED Lamps, natural pipe - lights Waste management based on 4 R’s – Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Waterless urinals, sensor taps, etc. 10

GreenVilla TM A lower cost guest house in NCR Delhi, India being built as a Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) ‘Platinum’ rated Green Home with a cost < EUR 35 per sq. ft including furnishing, but excluding land cost To be ready by March 2013 11
12
GreenSpaces TM Being built as world’s most energy efficient commercial building of 1.75 million ft2 to be ready for occupation by March 2014 It is a reference Flagship Project of the Asia Pacific Partnership (of seven countries) – Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea, & USA To contribute to reduce cost and improve energy efficiency anyone can partner with us: www.greenspaces.in/challenge www.greenspaces.in/challenge 12

Reaching out to Children - our future I am a trustee of Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s, ‘The Climate Project – India’ We are taking the climate message to 1 million school children, studying in 5,000 Delhi schools, in collaboration with the Delhi Government, through their Teachers. It will be replicated in other places This Project was launched on World Environment Day, June 5, 2012, at Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Its an on-going programme that aims to train teachers about urgency and solvability of climate crisis, through an online medium: www.tcpf-india.org 14
15
Ways to promote Energy efficiency as a resource Incentivise investment in energy efficiency Discourage the use of inefficient GLS lamps Make water harvesting compulsory in New Delhi, as was done in Chennai “One way to stop the climate crisis is to figure out the real costs of adding more carbon dioxide to the air, then include those costs in the price of fossil fuel,” Al Gore, in ‘Our Choice’ 15
16
Additional areas of collaboration between India and Spain Environment Technology - Spain has over the years done phenomenal work in adopting green technology Green buildings has been one of its mushrooming sectors India can derive excellent know-how and tech transfers from Spain Renewable Energy - India can especially benefit from Spain’s leadership in wind Turbine technology as there is demand in India Solar PV is also another area of collaboration 16
17
Additional areas of collaboration between India and Spain Infrastructure - India’s infrastructure needs are enormous and so is Spain’s reputation as a Nation with excellent ‘Green’ infrastructure and technology to support the same Collaborations between India and Spain exist in areas like port building and urban locomotion (DMRC) Bio-Technology & Eco Tourism are other important areas of possible collaboration 17
