How expensive would this be, given that India is looking for cheaper, low-cost housing?
I am not an expert on India housing, and I hope to be able to learn something during my visit. In the US, in a typical housing subdivision, we estimate that the cost can be 10 to 20 per cent more to make the house highly energy efficient and moving towards zero energy. In America, the houses are about $100,000 to $200,000. So 20 per cent is not that big an issue. And when you think about the reduced electricity utility costs, within the life cycle of that home, it may be net savings. Plus you get the benefits to the environment, the economy will be growing because you will have a new generation of new efficient products, and you’ve got better health in the houses. It turns out that buildings that are more energy efficient aren’t as drafty, so kids don’t get respiratory diseases as much. And businesses that are in energy efficient buildings are more productive. It’s common sense. If an office space is too hot or too cold, badly lit, people aren’t as productive. In schools, we’ve done so
