They organised a week-long AICTE-MHRD sponsored faculty development programme titled ‘Green Building Technology – Changing Paradigm’.
MN Bandyopadhayay, Director, NIT-Calicut, said on the occasion that the new learning, knowledge transfer and sharing of best practices will go a long way in developing some of the best and world-class models in sustainable architecture.
Appreciating the catalytic role played by IGBC in spearheading the green building movement, he said NIT is keen to work more closely with IGBC in greening India.
BR Ajith, Chairman, IGBC, Kochi Chapter, said India with over 2.10 billion sq ft of green building footprint is the second country in the world with largest green building footprint. This steady growth has been made possible with the support of all the stakeholders.
Over 45 faculty members from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala participated in faculty development programme.
