SBE 30 Concept

SBE30 (Sustainable Built Environments 2030), an initiative by Adhya Menda, will focus on building sustainable workspaces and social environments that follow sustainability guidelines laid out by COP26.

The Ideology

With decarbonisation goals and regulations for the built environment set in place, the goal is to secure global net-zero by the year 2050.

Sustainable Built Environments 2030

Leveraging the experience gained from previous social ventures like WeRise, Adhya has now moved onto solving the greatest threat to humankind today – climate change. With decarbonisation goals and regulations for the built environment set in place, the goal is to secure global net-zero by the year 2050.

In order to effectively meet net-zero carbon goals, the carbon emitted throughout the full asset life cycle of a property, from building development to operation and decommissioning, needs to be more closely monitored. Repurposing old buildings instead of demolishing them, securing energy retrofits of old buildings to cut the energy demand for heating by two-thirds, and eliminating CO2 emissions by switching to renewables or decarbonised energy are some of the measures that can be taken to ensure net-zero by 2050.

Smart energy infrastructure is the fundamental interconnector for such an integrated, efficient system.
