In India water usage for commercial, residential, institutional building etc, is increasing day by day. Also because of changing habits of the users there is tremendous pressure on municipal co-operation. The increased demand is responsible for more wastewater generation, having negative impact on environment. Hence increase in water efficiency by integrating appropriate methodologies would suffice the associated problem.
A smart user in the city is armed with elementary infrastructure to give a decent quality of life, a clean and ecological environment through use of some smart solutions. However with awareness amongst the people and the policies of new government for Swachchha Bharat Abhiyan, the sanitation component in the rural areas is also gaining lot of attention.
After studying the feasibility and effectiveness of many methodologies, a prosperous solution for reducing the pressure on municipal co-operation in an integrated way, in turn would be effective for smarter buildings and hence the cities.

Currently India is one of the major energy consumer among the developing nations globally. Buildings in India generally are responsible for at least 30-40% of energy use and this demand is growing annually almost twice the average electricity growth in the economy. Green buildings leave a lighter footprint on the environment through conservation of resources and at the same time are energy-efficient and cost-effective. Energy efficiency is the first step towards achieving sustainability in buildings. Energy efficiency helps in controlling rising energy costs, reduce environmental footprints and increase the value and competitiveness of buildings.
The following paper will focus on the utilization of alternative sources of renewable energy for satisfying the energy demand in an institutional building. The primary aim is to assess the energy performance, based on monitored data for the existing institutional building and thus demonstrating the potential for energy conservation and thereby proposing optimised energy conservative techniques and also studying the feasibility and effectiveness of those techniques both energy and cost wise.
