      HAREDA ORGANISES REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON ENERGY EFFICIENT & SOLAR PASSIVE
      BUILDING DESIGN

Buildings, as they are designed today, contribute to serious energy and environmental  problems because of excessive consumption of resources (energy, water, land) by them during both the construction phase and use. Studies show that residential and commercial sectors in India together account for 25% of the country’s total electricity consumption, a major portion of which is used in buildings. Energy Efficient Solar Buildings are the need of the hour and solar passive architecture needs to be integrated into the planning and design process of all buildings.

                       The Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) organized a Regional Workshop on Energy Efficient and Solar Passive Building Design in Chandigarh on 21^st October, 2005 in collaboration with Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources(MNES), Govt. of India with an objective to create awareness on these issues.              The Workshop was inaugurated by Sh.S.C.Chaudhary, Financial Commissioner & Principal Secretary to Govt. of Haryana, Renewable Energy Department & Chairman, HAREDA and the valedictory address was delivered by Sh.Samir Mathur, Commissioner & Secretary to Govt. of Haryana, Environment Department and Chairman, Haryana Pollution Control Board.
