Renewable Energy Sources
Kaka says that if the construction sector increases the use of renewable energy sources such as wind energy, hydro energy and solar energy and shifting to energy-efficient equipment and machinery, this will optimise energy savings as well as reduce fuel footprint. Some ways by which this can be done is by building structures that use natural light, usage of smart windows that block UV rays and ultra-energy-efficient HVAC systems and water heaters which run using rooftop solar panels.
