Earth: We use alternate materials like stabilized earth blocks, besser blocks which use lesser concrete and blocks that use waste/reuse materials like fly ash. (We avoid bricks as they employ precious topsoil and use 400 deg C energy.) Energy: We are sensitive to embodied energy and active energy use on consumption, apart from engineering active and passive elements resulting in maximum savings of precious energy for our buildings. Water: We use infrastructure approaches and plans that help communities manage their own water and waste water on the site, enabling them to reduce their fresh water use. Waste: We ensure that homes in our residential communities assume responsibility for intelligently manage solid waste Air: We work with passive cooling and active cooling systems and gadgets that are energy-efficient and ozone considerate. Biomass: We use biomass to improve the microclimate of a land zone in such a way that improves natural and therefore healthy home cooling
