Consider you own a construction company head quartered in New Delhi. Two clients from Chennai and Himachal Pradesh are approaching you to construct an energy efficient building in the respective places. What would be your approach in completing the projects? Also, present your design plan and implementation methodology as a flow sheet for both the projects. Hint: The design must include bioclimatic architecture, high performing building envelope, ventilation system
