Chennai will cumulatively emit 231.9 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (Co2) by 2040 from construction and operations of buildings alone, as per a study conducted at IIT Madras.

1.  Replace traditional cement with low-carbon cement.
2.  Reuse of demolition waste for future construction.
3.  Switching to renewable resources to meet the energy requirements of operating buildings.
