This working paper finds that high performance building envelopes can reduce cooling demand by 30% to 50%. This can be achieved by incorporating components such as climate-adapted building envelopes, exterior colours, windows, natural ventilation, orientation, vegetation etc.

This report provides a database of walling materials that are used in the construction of buildings across the country, which have various thermophysical properties. The database can be used for the accurate estimation of Residential Envelope Transmittance Value (RETV) for the implementation of the Eco-Niwas Samhita 2018 and for simulating the energy performance of any
