8. Does the entity have any project related to reducing GHG emission? If yes, then provide details.:
Indeed, Arvind SmartSpaces is actively involved in a range of projects aimed at reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. These projects are mostly centered around sustainability in construction processes. One of our notable initiatives is the Curing project, which is focused on the conservation of water, a resource crucial to maintaining the earth’s temperature. Another project involves the use of Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bars. FRP bars, being non-corrosive, contribute to the longevity of constructions and hence, less wastage. The use of Fly Ash is also a significant part of our sustainability approach. Fly Ash, being a byproduct of coal combustion, is usually discarded as waste. However, using it in construction helps us recycle it and lessen industrial pollution. We also employ Solar Coated Glasses in our buildings, which aid in harnessing solar energy, thus reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Another key part of our sustainable approach is the use of alternative materials like High-Density Polyethylene (HDP) liner for water proofing, which helps to minimize construction waste and increase efficiency. Moreover, we use Shahabad Stones in our projects which are highly durable and require minimal maintenance, further reducing our environmental footprint. Finally, our Heat Insulation project using China Mosaics plays a crucial role in energy savings. This strategy can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 4 degrees, thereby reducing the need for artificial cooling and its associated power consumption and GHG emissions.
