The master plan for the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) campus at Jodhpur, a hot-and-dry city in India, is an example of how Net Zero Energy development is scalable beyond single buildings or homes. An 860-acre desert settlement under construction, the campus is designed to become almost fully self-sustaining with net zero water, energy and waste by the final stage of the project around 2025. It is hoped that the IIT-Jodhpur campus will provide a blueprint for campuses and cities worldwide, especially those in extreme climatic conditions.

In this webinar, Ar. Sanjay Prakash, explains the approach and strategies behind the large-scale Net Zero development. He is the Principal Architect at Studio for Habitat Futures (ShiFt) and is committed to energy-conscious architecture and eco-friendly design.
