ASSURE is anchored by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), India’s premier knowledge and practice institution working on the equitable, sustainable, and efficient transformation of Indian settlements.
Realising the possibilities HPBs present, requires demonstration of effective implementation and a systematic effort to address the range of policy, financing, regulatory, and capacity gaps that currently constrain design, construction, and retrofit of HPBs at scale.
- Mobilise and partner with 100 million sq. ft. of lighthouse projects across India’s largest cities by offering technical assistance to turn them into HPBs
- Design and deliver skilling and upskilling programmes for 12,000 young net-zero professionals and practitioners
- Document functioning HPBs to develop compelling business and policy cases for supportive policies and public and private investment in HPBs
Develop a performance verification protocol and savings assurance platform to validate energy and carbon savings and unlock new financing arrangements
- Run design challenges and offer support to HPB innovators and start-ups
- Engage with national, State and city-level governments on policy, regulatory, and process reform to incentivise HPBs
- Engage with financial institutions (FIs) to evolve new financing arrangements and protocols to promote HPBs
In pursuit of the above, ASSURE engages with a wide range of ecosystem players, including developers, policymakers and regulators, financial institutions, property consultants and innovators to:
- Align with national policy and programme priorities and climate disclosure, science-based, and ESG targets
- Leverage the best domestic and global expertise and Indian entrepreneurial spirit and funding
