_SITUATION
_THE CHALLENGE
Air is a vital component in our day to day life and it’s important to inhale clean air as it affects our body in multiple aspects. As of today, when one talks about ventilation they concentrate on how to evenly ventilate spaces. This impure air doesn’t just impact our health but our surroundings as well. Over the past few years due to the increase in air pollution effluents react with rain to release corossive acid rain that damages the skin of animals and destroys the plant’s surface. this is a harmful phenomena that has been occurring in many places in many areas. global warming is an emerging trend. What can one do to reduce it? Carpool can bring down the number of vehicles on the road, use filters to clean out the air to a certain extent, plant more trees -One small step at a time.

_ENERGY PRODUCTION There

solar panels present which provides ample amound of
energy to run the house efficiently throughtout the year.
_WATER SUPPLY The
cove has a rain water harvesting system which has the
capacity to collect
20000L
of rain water which would further
be used for drinking and bathing purposes.
In
case of
emergencies, there is a pipeline connected to the goverment pipelines thereby providing water from there too.
_DRAINAGE A
septic tank is provided in each house which converts the used
water to gray water which can also be used for gardening.
