Cutting-edge housing at IIT, Mumbai
IIT Bombay, a world-renowned engineering institute,
took up the challenge of developing a sustainable building
in 2018. Team Shunya, an initiative at IIT Bombay, wanted
to replace high carbon emission traditional building materials
like steel, concrete, stone, and gypsum boards with advanced
products to minimize carbon footprint and reduce energy
consumption.
