Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator: Yearbook 2023

By Lodha

The Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator’s Yearbook provides a detailed account of the progress made toward sustainable urban development over the past year. It highlights key initiatives, innovations, and collaborations that have helped advance low-carbon solutions in real estate. From implementing energy efficiency measures and integrating renewables to scaling circular construction practices, the Accelerator has worked across multiple fronts to drive meaningful impact.

Drawing inspiration from Buckminster Fuller’s “Dymaxion” vision—where efficiency, sustainability, and innovation intersect—the report highlights Lodha’s efforts in energy efficiency, renewable integration, and circular resource use. The yearbook also showcases milestones such as industry partnerships, pilot projects, and policy engagements aimed at accelerating the transition to net-zero cities. By fostering collaboration among developers, policymakers, and technology providers, the Accelerator continues to create a scalable model for sustainable urban growth. This report serves as both a reflection of achievements and a roadmap for future climate action in real estate.

The key sections covered in this report are:

• Electricity Use Baseline in Residential Building – Initial Study of Palava City Electricity Data
• Urban Heat Mapping: Case Study of Palava City
• Embodied Carbon Reduction
• Fanning the Future: Harnessing Energy-Efficient Fans for a More Sustainable Tomorrow
