1. Joining the scattered dots (initiatives
taken) & making an environment
(virtual & physical) which supports their
synchronized implementation + is ‘end

Result
Efficient design, Reliable validation, International benchmarking & Continuous performance management of energy,
water & waste is one of the needs in any green field or brownfield smart city environment. Integrating data using
technology + process and governance will enable an inclusive and intelligent ecosystem enabling the residents and
city government.
The end result expected is an Infrastructure supporting complete process digitization, secure & free data flow for
the networked buildings, energy monitoring & governance at city level.

Infrastructure
Backbone
For Greenfield projects:
The two way information flow
(a) INWARD – The Bylaw information, design guidelines, Applicable benchmarking system
(depending on the building use), target emission
(b) OUTWARD – Project design data, Performance & System Data, M&V Data
For Brownfield buildings:
Performance measurement and continuous monitoring through energy certificates (similar to
BEE rating) but more robust to accommodate all building uses and be better defined. This
approach can help in converting uni directional (OUTWARD – Project design data, Performance
& System Data, M&V Data) to an interactive bi directional flow ultimately helping in
achieving the performance and emission compliance and capacity building on technical front.
We have taken multiple initiatives towards reducing the carbon footprint, sufficient data gathering to standardize
and predict the energy consumption in different buildings and define benchmarking systems. The time is right to
structure them out and create ‘smart process’ where continuous bi directional information flow happens between
the main stakeholders i.e. city management & resident owners. This should act a tool to promote and incentivize
the residents/ building owners & meet the energy targets of the modern city.
