HPBs use Factor 2 (50%) to Factor 4 (25%) of the energy and water prescribed under current Indian Codes. They exceed typical building efficiency and sustainability criteria by optimising energy use, water conservation, indoor air quality (IAQ), and occupant comfort.
They often incorporate advanced technologies, sustainable materials, and smart systems, aiming to reduce environmental impact while enhancing durability and resilience.
Buildings account for about 40% of global energy use. HPBs can reduce energy consumption by up to 25%, while also conserving water and using sustainable materials. They also lease faster, retain value longer, and offer greater resilience to extreme weather.
