EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Buildings of the future have to take into account the challenges and the opportunities brought
about by technological, environmental and societal changes. Smart buildings have the
advantage of automated systems that control the environment and communicate with users.
With the increasing levels of sophistication in technology, communications and connectivity,
smart buildings will become an integral part of our lifestyles something that the
construction industry should recognise. In building new buildings or refurbishing old ones,
the smart way to build smart buildings is to move away from traditional methods of
construction and to look at multi-disciplinary and integrated approaches, as well as end-user
perspectives. Furthermore, with the worlds increasing concern on climate change, buildings
will feature as one of the key areas for low-carbon performance. Supported by smart
technologies, green design will be a vital part of the new outlook for a buildings
performance. Lastly, societies across the world will require comfort, liveability and
adaptation to demographic change. The construction industry is well placed to play a crucial
role to take on this task.
This report contains needed steps and measures to assure green and smart
infrastructure in terms of usage of electricity, Water and other resources. Hence I have
divided my report into four aspects, each aspect enunciating the profitability of using
renewable and waste management methods over conventional methods. The four parts are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
a general perception of not using the renewable energy sources because they are more
expensive and less economical can be removed.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Page | 2
3. Water
Water infrastructure has historically been dumb, relying onthe operation of the laws
ofgravity, assisted by human oranimal labour. Motor driven pumps have adapted suchsystems
to unhelpful topography. The integration of suchtraditional systems with automated
andremoteinstrumentation, control, feedback and communicationssystems has changed and is
changing this picture.
Consumers will be exposed to smart meters which willallow them to monitor and
manage their own water use, aswith smart electricity and gas metering. This will lead themto
become active players in water operations through more predictable and reduced demand as
well aspotentially reduced bills.
Smart metering is particularlyhelpful forindustrial and commercial users, giving
themeasier and simplified access to the information they needto control their water
consumption.
Future waterinfrastructure will be designed to adapt flexibly to changesin demand and
supply patterns, which will also cut theenergy needed to pump water and wastewater. New
strategies currently being implemented or consideredaround the world include; smart closedloop wastewatersystems with energy recovery, both small and large-scale (UK); water
resource and flood information andManagement response systems (Netherlands, China);
andholistic catchment management integrated with watersupply and wastewater systems
(USA).
Future smart water systems will commonly utiliseautomated meter reading with walk by,
drive by, fly by orfixed network intelligent meters. There will be remotewater quality control
and remote water quality adjustment, as well as remote control of water supply systems
bysatellite. Smartphones will include water apps for water billmonitoring and payment via
the internet. Leaks in thewater grid will be detected automatically by live water consumption
analysis using data from smart meters. Waterand wastewater treatment plants will be
telemetricallyoperated by satellite
.
4. Transport
Page | 4
Twenty years ago, aviation, shipping and land transporteach had its own navigation
technologies. Ships did notuse landing systems deployed by aviation; aircraft did notusezebra
crossings and traffic lights. But increasingly, thesame satellite navigation is serving them all.
a.Land transport
Land transport includes motorways, roads, trains andtrams. The road system is an open
system; the rail system issubstantially a closed system. Those are fundamentaldifferences in
the transport equation and therefore havedifferent requirements and challenges when it comes
tosmarter infrastructure.
Transport infrastructure is already smart in many ways. Forexample, rail is currentlymanaged
with automatic sensorsand automatic route setting. In the future, the smartsystem will have to
communicate with an individual thelevel of reliability of the journey they are undertaking
andhelp people find alternative transport options if things gowrong. Much more could be
done within the overallintegration of road and rail passenger transport networksto make these
kinds of interactions possible.Managed networks will be increasingly important aseventually
drivers start to concede control to a network. There will be monitoring of energy consumption
andmapping of energy access. Electric vehicles and car clubsare starting to push a different
view of vehicle ownershipand maintenance, with managed maintenance andmaximum
utilisation starting to come to the fore.
b.Maritime transport
The maritime sector has been the fastest of the regulatedareas of transportation to adopt the
new tools of intelligentsatellite navigation and communications. A commercialshipping vessel
will have half a dozen GPS receiversembedded in multiple systems. Systems can control
a100,000 tonne vessel at 25 knots through complex seawaysin low visibility on autopilot;
they can synchronise thecommunications systems that show shore control and
Other ships the identity of the vessel, where it is headedand what it is carrying; in an
emergency they can transmitalarms and guide rescuers. Container systems are so
highlyautomated that the location of every item beingtransported by the vessel is known from
factory toconsumer.However, the dependence of shipping on one system ofsatellite
navigation and timing has exposed it toconsiderable risk through the potential loss of that
system.Interruptions have been experienced caused by satellitemalfunctions, solar events,
Page | 5
radio interference andintentional jamming. These can cause all on-board systemsto fail at
once.
c. Communications
Operators and other organisations are providing smarterservice. Smart billing has
beenintroduced, which can beorientated towards different customer needs, such asitemised
billing per second, per cost centre or per location.Online customer care and mobile apps are
being provided,serving the customer when they want, by time or day or location. Data can be
converted to voice, and voice to data,or from language A to language B.By2020, the number
of connected devices on the planetwill be anything from 20 to 50 billion. Smarter networks
willbe there to serve those machines, not just the people whouse them. A smart network could
be a multiband or amultimode network (an example of a multimode networkwould be one
that would work with both cellular and wifisystems/networks).
d. The built environment
Built environments and many of the worlds societies donot function or even exist unlessthey
are actually pluggedinto infrastructure. Architects understand the potential ofjoining up with
smart infrastructure. However, design tools,although smart in themselves, are not currently
able to linkinto and release the potential of the wider infrastructure.
Increasingly architects are working with innovators tounderstand how that smart technology
should bedeployed and to keep informed of what exists and whattechnologies are on the
horizon. The built environment industry already creates some verysmart systems, but the
people who then operate thebuildings very often do not have the benefit of
anytraining,access, or explanation as to what the data mightmean and how they could operate
thebuildings moreefficiently. This is where smartness falls down. Bringing theend user, the
engineer and the architect together to makeuse of these systems more intuitive will maximise
the valuethat the smartness delivers. It will also be easier for majortechnology companies to
articulate the value and explainwhy an item needs to be provided, so that the
customerunderstands and accepts it. Ultimately, for the lifetime ofthe building it will be
aboutensuring that customersunderstand how to get the best from their smart systems.

Figure 1: Diesel rate growth trend;
From the above diagram it can be observed that rate of Diesel is increasing due to inflation
over last 5 years. Due to which there will be an increase in energy rates of apartments. Solar
Powered Electrical system is an efficient solution to Diesel Generators as it can reduce
operating costs of generating electricity and provide an uninterrupted power supply
throughout life of the project. On an average, per unit cost with a diesel generator is Rs 22
while the cost with battery backed solar system does not exceed Rs 7/unit and it remains
constant throughout the life of power plant. With a solar power system you can save the cost
of transportation, pilferage and storage of diesel.

the cost of the system, so a most of installations either have fixed panels or compromise by
incorporating some limited manual adjustments, which take into account the different
'elevations' of the sun at various times of the year. The best elevations vary with the latitude
of the load location.
5. The power generating capacity of a photovoltaic system is denoted in Kilowatt peak
(measured at standard test conditions of solar radiation of 1000 W per m2). A common rule of
thumb is that average power is equal to 20% of peak power, so that each peak kilowatt of
solar array output power corresponds to energy production of 4.8 kWh per day (24 hours x 1
kW x 20% = 4.8 kWh).
6. Solar photovoltaic modules can be developed in various combinations depending upon the
requirements of the voltage and power output to be taken from the solar plant. No. of cells
and modules may vary depending upon the manufacturer prudent practice.
7. Inverter
1.The DC power produced is fed to inverter for conversion into AC.
2. The output of the inverter must synchronize automatically its AC output to the exact AC
voltage and frequency of the grid.
3. Inverter Efficiency of 94% is considered in the PV system.
8. Protection and Controls:
1. Inverter shall be provided with islanding protection to isolate it from thegrid in case of no
supply, under voltage and over voltage conditions sothat in no case there is any chance of
accident.
2. In addition to above, PV systems shall be provided with adequate ratingfuses, fuses on
inverter input side (DC) as well as output side (AC) sidefor overload and short circuit
protection and disconnecting switches toisolate the DC and AC system for maintenances are
needed.
3. Fuses of adequate rating shall also be provided in each solar arraymodule to protect them
against short circuit.
9. Annual energy generation:
Page | 16
The annual energy generation from the SPV power plant has been worked out based on the
data on mean global solar radiant exposure over Delhi. The mean global solar radiant
exposure varies from 3.72 kWh/m2/day in the month of December to 7.08 kWh/m2 /day in
the month of May. Considering the efficiency of PV module at 16% and temperature
coefficient of 4.4 % per degree Celsius, the annual energy generation feed into the grid is
estimated at 42 MWh. This takes into consideration an efficiency of the Power Conditioning
Unit (PCU) as 94% and losses in the DC and AC system as 3% each up to the point of
interconnection. The month wise energy generation during the year is shown below.
Page | 17
The energy available from the Plant would vary from a minimum of 3.33 MWh during the
month of January to a maximum of 4.13 MWh during the month of March. The annual
capacity utilization factor works out as 19.2%.
10. Cost of energy generation and tariff:
The Tariff for the sale of energy from the SVP Power Plant has been worked out considering
that equity ratio of 70:30. The interest rateon the loan has been adopted as 12.79 % based on
the prime lending rate(PLR) as per CERC. The salvage value of the project has been

3.1 Introduction
There has always been a gap between supply and demand of electric energy in Delhi
Especially during peak summer and winter seasons. The situation further worsens during
early hours of peak winter season when enormous heating load is switched ON. This has
been a consistent problem. If the heating load is switched over to non conventional source of
energy, from conventional energy sources; the gap can be bridged considerably. Therefore,
there is a need to take up the measures to initiate steps for adoption of Solar Water Heating
System.
Solar water heating is now a mature technology. Wide spread utilization of solar water
heaters can reduce a significant portion of the conventional energy being used for heating
water in homes, factories and other commercial & institutional establishments. Internationally
the market for solar water heaters has expanded significantly during the last decade.
Solar Water Heating System is not a new name in India now. The technology is easily
available in our country and in use in almost all mega cities.

radiation etc. may, however, be taken as 35-40 million sq. m. of collector area.
1 million such systems installed will be able to save 1200 million units of electricity/year
A 100 lpd system (2 sq.m of collector area) installed in an industry can save around 140
litres of diesel in a year.

are concentrated in the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra.Note India receives very high
solar insolation throughout the year making it ideal for Solar Water Heater Installations.Most
of the SWH systems are sold to residential installations more than 80%.Commercial
establishments are still slow to adopt SWH.Note the penetration of SWH in India is still 10
times lower than that of China and shows huge growth potential.Note around 1 million
households in India have solar water heaters and the growth rate is around 20%.Assuming an
average solar water heater system cost of around Rs 30000 ($650) ,the total market size
would be around $130 million or Rs 600 crores.

a good performance and a high coverage of wastewater treatment under rather difficult
conditions with financial constraints and limited human and institutional capacities?
In the 1990s an international network of agencies and NGOs drew conclusions about the
deficiencies of existing infrastructure development and produced the so-called DEWATS
approach. DEWATS is designed to be an element of comprehensive wastewater strategies:
not only are the technical requirements for the efficient treatment of wastewater at a given
location, but the specific socioeconomic conditions also taken into consideration.
By its principles of reliability and longevity, the permanent and continuous treatment of
wastewater flows ranging from 11000m per day, from both domestic and industrial sources,
should be guaranteed. With its flexibility, efficiency and cost effectiveness, these systems are
planned to be complementary to centralised wastewater treatment-technology and to
strategies reducing the overall generation of wastewater.
The international discussion about the conservation of water resources and more targetoriented poverty-alleviation strategies create a favourable environment for new sanitation
approaches and innovative wastewater treatment solutions. In many countries a rapidly
upcoming market for DEWATS and a demand for efficient Community-Based Sanitation
(CBS) can be observed.
publically-owned land nearby. These systems are also applicable in the case of an existing or
proposed private facility that can be taken over by the town and expanded to provide
wastewater service to existing nearby properties currently on septic systems, particularly if
the town-wide system may be not be available for many years and the developer is prepared
to proceed in the near future.
4. Centralized Systems. This option is likely to be the most viable when :
a) Dense development exists in nitrogen-sensitive watersheds.
b) Suitable treatment and disposal sites are available at no or low cost;
c) A high degree of nitrogen control is required;
d) Areas of dense development in sensitive watersheds are within 3 miles of desirable effluent
treatment and disposal sites; and
e) Opportunities are available for cost reductions through regionalization

provision of clean drinking water; therefore the rainwater harvesting projects which it
supports are mainly those where rainwater is collected from roofs, and only to a lesser extent
where it is collected from small ground, or rock, catchments.
Water Harvesting potential = Rainfall (mm) X Collection efficiency
Rainwater collected from rooftops is free of mineral pollutants like fluoride and calcium salts
that are generally found in groundwater. But, it is likely that to be contaminated with these
types of pollutants:
1. Air Pollutants
2. Surface contamination (e.g., silt, dust)
Page | 46
Such contaminations can be prevented to a large extent by flushing off the first rainfall. A
grill at the terrace outlet for rainwater can arrest leaves, plastic bags and paper pieces carried
by water. Other contamination can be removed by sedimentation and filtration. Disinfectants
can remove biological contamination.
Cost Analysis
1. Cost of a Rainwater harvesting system designed as an integrated component of a new
construction project is generally low.
2. Designing a system onto an existing building is costlier because many of the shared costs
(roof and gutters) can be designed to optimise system.
3. In general, maximising storage capacity and minimising water use through conservation
and reuse are important rules to keep in mind.
4. With careful planning and design, the cost of a rainwater system can be reduced
considerably.
Cost of installation
Estimated average cost of installing a Water Harvesting System for:
1. An individual house of average area of 300-500 m2, the average cost will be around Rs.
20,000-25,000. A recharge well will be constructed near the existing bore well. The roof
water through PVC pipe will be diverted to recharge well.
2. An apartment building, the cost will be less since the many people will share the cost.
More over in apartments there are separate storm water drains, which join the MCD drains in
the main road. Here along with recharge well, recharge trench and percolation pits can be
constructed. The cost will be around 60 to 70 thousand.
3. A colony, the cost will be much less. For instance, around 36 recharge wells were installed
at the cost of 8 lakh, which is around Rs 500-600 per house. In many colonies storm water
drains are present but it is difficult to isolate them from sewage drains because there has been
violation of the drainage master plan. Also, these drains are not properly maintained. Hence,
care needs to be taken while using storm water for water harvesting.
Page | 47
Rooftop harvesting is preferred because the silt load is less. In storm water drain the silt load
is high and generally the municipality does not maintain the storm drains properly.
4. An institution with campus, the cost was around 4 lac. Here two recharge wells and three
trenches cum percolation pits were constructed. Average annual maintenance cost would be
around Rs 200-300 for two labourers once in a year to remove the pebbles and replace the
sand from trenches.

systems that typically consist of a settler, anaerobic baffled septic tank , filter bed of gravel,
sand, plantation-beds and a pond . The open pond or the polishing tank stores the remedied
water and keeps it available for re-use.
The system operates without mechanical means and sewage flows by gravity through the
different components of the system. Up to 1,000 cubic metre of domestic and non-toxic
industrial sewage can be treated by this system. DEWATS applications are based on the
principle of low-maintenance since most important parts of the system work without
electrical energy inputs and cannot be switched off intentionally.
DEWATS applications provide state-of-the-art-technology at affordable prices because all of
the materials used for construction are locally available. DEWATS approach is an effective,
efficient and affordable wastewater treatment solution for not only small and medium sized
enterprises (SME) but also for the un-served (rural and urban) households in developing
countries, especially South Asia. For instance, DEWATS can operate in individual
households, at the neighbourhood level and even in small and big factories not connected to
sewage lines. DEWATS can also treat municipal waste. The recycled water is used for
irrigation or for growing plants and is absolutely safe for human use. In certain urban areas

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) enjoin upon the signatory nations to extend
access to improved sanitation to at least half the population by 2015, and 100% access by
2025. This calls for providing improved sanitation, and with facilities in public places at both
rural and urban habitats also make the spaces free of open-defecation.
The quantity of wastewater is increasing in Rural- India because of the reasons as below:
i) Rapid mechanization with the use of piped water supply , continuously widening the gap
between waste water generation and its process and treatment;
ii) Rural electrification is on the rise and with semi-urbanization of rural households.
(iii) Inadequate financial resources and capacity for infrastructure required for treating
wastewater through a centralized approach.
Specifically in India, domestic wastewater, including sewage that is often not even collected,
is a major source of pollution of surface water. This contributes to contamination of
groundwater which is an important or only source of drinking water for many rural and periurban areas. In addition, the economies of scale required for using conventional technologies
would not be achieved in all settlements for various reasons, including: i) different climatic
conditions; ii) topography; iii) geological conditions and water tables; iv) levels of
livelihood ; and v) population densities and size of settlements.
In selected locations, small-scale decentralized plants are also found frequently at community
level. Numerous initiatives have been developed, in particular, as a result of the unbearable
and poor waste- water treatment. Such initiatives have been taken up at small- city level
similar to rural conditions and have yielded satisfactory results. The waste water processed is
considered for reuse for local landscaping and also for irrigating agricultural fields.
Page | 53
iii) the treatment cost; iv) extent of water scarcity, and v) dilution of pollution in the water
resources.
The five main wastewater treatment technologies that are commonly used are as given below:
i) waste stabilization ponds; ii) wastewater storage and treatment reservoirs; iii) constructed
wetlands; iv) chemically enhanced primary treatment; and v) up flow anaerobic sludge
blanket reactors. These are suitable for different conditions and have advantages and
disadvantages, especially in terms of requirements for land, cost, remediation efficiency and
other factors.
All these solutions for wastewater treatment aim at innovations across a broad range of
environmental issues including: i) reuse of wastewater; ii) removal of nutrients from effluent;
iii) management of storm water; iv) managing solid wastes; v) flood mitigation; and vi)
tackling erosion around water bodies, including ponds, lakes and riverbank.
However, from the sustainability aspect, the selection of the appropriate solution must be
balanced between simple systems that do not require use of chemicals and those that have
high pathogen removal. Motivating the community as a whole to work towards effective
functioning of a local system is one of the critical prerequisite for DEWATS to succeed.
Approaches to DEWATS- Systems and adaptations :

5.1 Introduction
At present our country is facing various problems which become more serious in next coming
years. Demand of petroleum products is increasing, India has spending a big budget for
importing these products and on the other hand our country faces serious problems like
environmental pollution, disturbance in weather & global warming.
India is an agriculture-based country and there is abundant availability of resources but these
are not properly used and commercialized. In spite of all the developments and technologies
are available yet the rural people facing the shortage of energy. The prime challenge for the
country is to provide the minimum energy services to allow the rural people to achieve decent
standard of living. The biogas plant is a boon to the Indian farmers. The two main products of
the biogas plants are enriched compost manure and methane where as compost manure helps
to meet the fertilizer requirements of the farmers in a more economical and efficient manner
and boost agricultural production. Biogas is used for cooking and lighting purposes and in
larger plants, as motive power for driving small engines.
Indian government have installed gobar gas plants, which are approximately 12,00,000 small,
3,40,000 medium, and 4,000 big gobar gas plant. If 20,00 gobar gas plants of 120 M3 has
been installed then approximately 6842 Lakh Rs. of diesel/petrol can be saved.
Few years back KVIC & other agencies related to installation of bio gas plant installed two
types of Biogas plant one was fixed dome and second was floating dome. Fixed dome
digester was covered by concrete gas holder while floating dome digester was made up of
metal (iron) sheet gas holder. Fixed dome digesters require one month for installation. After
sometimes these types of digesters faced problem of scum deposition on upper surface which
cannot removed easily, ultimately biogas production effected. In these plants high
Page | 59
maintenance cost was required for removing scum. On the other hand floating gas holder
(metal sheet) was corroded due to contact with water and hydrogen sulphide. Second problem
was that at the time feeding few amounts of mud particles was present with feed, gradually
this mud deposited in the lower surface of digester. Due to these problems digestion and gas
formation is affected.
Page | 60
We used a light weighted material gas holder. We choose rein forced glass fibre plastic, this
type of gas holder is light in weight, anticorrosive and high tensile strength, gas holder is the
main component of the biogas plant, on the top of gas holder there is a valve that can
eliminate the atmospheric pressure. When there is a requirement to replace solid fermentation
material like straw in the digester or to repair the digester gas holder can taken out from the
digester easily. The gasholder is 1.65 M3 gas capacities.

A parabolic type concentrating solar steam cooking system was commissioned at Shri
Saibaba Sansthan, Shirdi on 24th May, 2002. This system received financial assistance of
50 % of the total project cost from the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources, GoI.
This is the first of its kind in Maharashtra. It cooks food for about 3000 devotees.
The 40 nos. of solar parabolic concentrators raise the water temperature to 550C to 650C and
convert it into steam for cooking purposes. This system is integrated with the existing boiler
to ensure continued cooking even at night and during rain or cloudy weather. The solar
cooking system installed at Shirdi follows the thermo siphon principle and so does not need
electrical power or pump.
Introduction :
Shirdi is a religious pilgrimage centre and thousands of devotees visit the Shirdi Sai Baba
temple daily. Shri Sai Baba Sansthan at Shirdi is an autonomous body (Trust) to provide
facilities to the devotees.
Shirdi is located near Nasik. Other nearby cities include Mumbai, Pune, Ahmednagar and
Page | 64
Aurangabad.
The Sansthan is always on the lookout for innovative ways to reduce its overhead costs. They
have installed hot- water- systems at its dharmashalas / dormitories, providing staying
facilities for devotees.
In the Sulabh Sauchalaya complex located in its premises, to night-soil-biogas plant is
installed to generate gas from human excreta, which is used to operate generators to produce
electricity for the complex.
The Sansthan has also installed solar streetlights in its pumping complex. Thus it was found
to be the ideal place to introduce the new solar steam cooking technology for its proper takeoff in Maharashtra state.
Goals
Before the installation of the solar cooking system, the steam for cooking at Sansthan was
being generated by LPG gas firing in the boiler.
The main goal of the system was to reduce LPG gas consumption by 50 %.
Another important goal beside financial benefits due to saving LPG gas was to use as
much natural energy as possible to promote environment protection, its conservation
and rejuvenation by using renewable and clean energy.
To promote and popularize use of solar energy. MNES and MEDA have supported
this project towards realizing this objective.
concentrating the solar rays on the receivers. This movement of concentrators is called
tracking, which is continuous and is controlled by the fully automatic timer mechanism.
Only once during the day i.e. in the early morning the dishes have to be turned manually onto
the morning position, subsequently the automatic tracking takes over.

To cook for its 1200 strong community the Ashram kitchens needed a vast quantity of
firewood. The ashram met this challenge by a combination of bio-gas plants and solar dishes
for cooking. A thermal fluid based solar cooking system provides adequate temperature to
fry, bake or roast in the comfort of kitchen. The ashram runs a state-of-the-art Cancer
hospital. It needs constant air conditioning because of the medical equipment it operates.
Ashram has installed a Lithium Bromide based Vapour Absorption Chiller (VAC)
refrigeration system that can achieve cooling up to 6 degc. Necessary heat was provided by
two bio-boilers of 1.5 ton and 3 ton capacity. The machine required 5000 kg of wood per
day. To reduce wood consumption, Ashram has installed a solar steam generating system
which employs 100 parabolic dishes for concentrating suns heat. This allows water to reach
a temperature of 180 degc and converts water to steam at 8 to 10 kg/ cm 2 pressure. The
temperature at the receivers reaches 500o C. For backup purpose, a wood fired boiler is
used.
This solar steam generating system which generates enough steam to run a 100 TR of air
conditioning is worlds first and largest commercially executed Solar Air Conditioning
System using Scheffler Concentrators. Ashram has 650 acres of land at Bakrol farm where
there is a large Gaushala with more than 300 cows. The cow-dung is used as fuel for a large
scale bio-gas plant. There are three digesters two of 85 cubic metre capacity (floating dome
model KVIC) and one 250 cubic metre (fixed dome model). The floating dome digesters are
fed with cow dung only and the fixed dome digester is fed with any type of biodegradable
waste including kitchen waste.
Page | 68
The biogas is scrubbed of CO2, compressed and stored in bottles which are used as fuel in the
Atithi Mandir kitchen and also as fuel for a mini truck used by the ashram which runs for 180
km on two bottles (9 kg at 180kg/cm2 pressure each). The slurry which is vermin-composted
and used as organic fertilizer in ashram farms. One of the very unique features of the Ashram
is the installation of Worlds First and only Solar Crematorium. Besides all of these
unique technologies the ashram has also have 76 home lighting systems each lighting 3 CFL.
Each panel converts solar radiation to electrical energy which is stored in batteries for later
use. Solar Water heater at various ashram buildings are installed of about 8000+ litres
capacity in total along with Solar-LED based street lightings.

a) First of all the time duration of 8 weeks was a major constraint in going through the
project completely.
b) The assumption taken to define different scenario in all over the country may not be
exact so may lead to calculation error.
c) Owing to geographical constraints and altogether different prevailing climatic,
political, social, economic, legal and cultural scenarios, the comparison of RE energy
technologies of various regions on same parameters was not possible.
d) Some of data collected is through direct contact with different official of different
organisation since there is no written document may lead to communication error.
