They were informed about sustainable building principles in the National Building Code and the Energy Conservation Building Code. Technical sessions were conducted on the design, installation and maintenance of the best suited air conditioning systems and solar PV arrays for different categories of buildings. The benefits and installation procedures for rainwater harvesting and decentralized waste water treatment were explained through a series of case studies. The working of these systems was also demonstrated through a tour of the mentioned systems within the CSE premises. Additional sustainable features in the CSE buildings were also pointed out and their working was explained. The training culminated with a presentation on case studies of energy efficient buildings and a session on energy audit of existing buildings.
