CARBON NEUTRAL HABITAT
S No	Location of Habitat		Size			Type of Construction		Name of State/U.T
75	Hanle		9528 Sq ft			Pre-fabricated		U.T of Ladakh

One of the project is ‘Carbon Neutral Habitat’ at Hanle in U.T of Ladakh, with a built up area of 9,528 sq ft. This complex will be entirely powered by renewable solar and wind energy which will ensure round the clock charging of the power packs. The habitat also incorporates suitable anti-freeze measures for water pipelines powered by renewable energy.
