Green constructions in chennai

[n_mouli]

Any idea on design architects/constructions who provide sustainable design and constructions for individual homes in chennai? There is a plethora of information on eco building available in the net but not many on how to tailor and apply it to specific regions.

For green home you can consider the following:

- use cfls instead of incandescent lamps
- use solar water heaters
- try to reuse water from washbasins, washing machines for flush/gardens
- use special glass which reduces heat and need for air conditioning
- use special tiles on roof to keep your home temperature within limits
- try to separate bio waste from non bio waste and you may use a composit pit if you have space.....
