Building Water-Resilient Cities Through Net Zero Water 💧
As India's financial capital Mumbai continues to grow, water security is emerging as one of the most critical challenges shaping Mumbai's future. With urban development, infrastructure expansion, and rising real estate demand steadily rising, sustainable water management will be the key driver in ensuring long-term resilience and growth.

The conversations today are beyond just about water conservation; they’re about creating developments that actively reduce #waterdemand, maximise reuse, promote #recycling, and move towards #NetZeroWater.

The IGBC Net Zero Water Rating System provides a structured framework for projects to achieve water self-sufficiency through efficient #design, responsible #watermanagement, #wastewatertreatment, reuse strategies, #rainwaterharvesting, and innovative technologies. From commercial developments and residential communities to campuses, industries, hospitality projects, and public infrastructure, every project has the opportunity to become part of the solution.

Thank You for Making the BEAT Tool Training Workshop a Success! ✨

IGBC successfully conducted the online Training Workshop on “Lifecycle Carbon Assessment using the Building Emission Assessment Tool (BEAT)”, on 19 June 2026, garnering enthusiastic participation from architects, engineers, sustainability professionals, and industry stakeholders from across the country.

The workshop provided participants with practical insights into assessing #embodied and #operationalcarbon emissions in buildings, while exploring real-world applications of Life Cycle Assessment (#LCA) using the BEAT Tool. Through live demonstrations, hands-on building assessment exercises, expert interactions, and an engaging Q&A session, attendees strengthened their understanding of #carbonmeasurement and low-carbon building strategies.

As the built environment continues its journey towards decarbonisation and #NetZero goals, building industry capacity in lifecycle carbon assessment remains critical to delivering measurable climate outcomes.

We thank all participants for your active engagement and valuable contributions in making the session highly interactive and impactful. Together, let’s continue to advance the transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and sustainable built environment.

🎉 Celebrating One Year of BEAT 🎉

One year ago, the Building Emission Assessment Tool (BEAT) was launched under the Asia Low Carbon Building Transition (ALCBT) Project with a vision to support the building sector in understanding, measuring, and reducing carbon emissions across the building life cycle.

Over the past year, BEAT has emerged as a valuable resource for architects, engineers, developers, consultants, researchers, and policymakers, enabling informed decision-making towards low-carbon buildings. As a free and open-source building life cycle assessment platform, BEAT helps quantify both embodied and operational carbon emissions, encouraging the adoption of sustainable design and construction practices.

IGBC, in collaboration with HEAT International GmbH, has played a key role in adapting and strengthening the tool for the Indian context through the integration of Indian datasets, extensive testing, validation through multiple building assessments, and capacity-building initiatives.

Numerous professionals have been trained since its launch on whole life carbon assessment, embodied carbon, and operational carbon, helping build awareness and technical expertise across the building sector.

As we celebrate this milestone, we thank all our partners, Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI),  HEAT International GmbH and all our stakeholders, trainers, and users who have been part of this journey. Together, we continue to advance the transition towards a low-carbon and climate-resilient built environment.

Here's to many more years of enabling data-driven, carbon-conscious building decisions.
