<strong>in</strong>novations <strong>in</strong> green build<strong>in</strong>g technology before they are promoted for adoption by the<br />

build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dustry. These concepts <strong>of</strong> ZEB can easily be adopted <strong>in</strong> the study area to get the<br />

similar upbeat results <strong>in</strong> the field <strong>of</strong> cost effective, energy efficient build<strong>in</strong>g construction as<br />

the climatic conditions are similar <strong>in</strong> both the areas.<br />

5 Result and conclusion<br />

To achieve the collective objectives <strong>of</strong> energy security and environmental protection, ‘zeroenergy<br />

build<strong>in</strong>g’ should be considered and designed. Due to lack <strong>of</strong> energy, most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

people are forced to live without light<strong>in</strong>g and air condition<strong>in</strong>g facilities <strong>in</strong> India. The practice<br />

<strong>of</strong> ZEBs, will not only save about 9680.46 billion kWh energy per year <strong>in</strong> 2030 but also able<br />

to fulfil the energy requirements <strong>of</strong> each and every household (Table 5). The energy<br />

efficiency and susta<strong>in</strong>ability <strong>in</strong> the build<strong>in</strong>gs can be achieved, through <strong>in</strong>corporat<strong>in</strong>g green<br />

build<strong>in</strong>g technologies <strong>in</strong> the new build<strong>in</strong>gs, as well as retr<strong>of</strong>itt<strong>in</strong>g exist<strong>in</strong>g build<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong>to<br />

ZEBs. Thus, the study concluded with plausible recommendations for construct<strong>in</strong>g costeffective<br />

and energy efficient zero-energy build<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> the study area. It is anticipated that, if<br />

the proposed model is implemented successfully <strong>in</strong> the study area, it will ensure susta<strong>in</strong>able<br />

development def<strong>in</strong>itely.<br />
