What is your thought on green & sustainable living?
The green and eco-friendly buildings which are designed keeping in mind the mantra of conserve recycle and reuse will not only improve the environment and ecology but can reduce energy consumption by 30 percent, water usage by 50 percent and significantly reduce waste generation by extensive recycling. With an estimated five percent of Indian construction following the Green Building norms, there is definitely a scope for future expansion and growth. In most of our projects we have adopted advanced technology to ensure zero wastage and maximum recycling. We have incorporated rainwater harvesting systems, maximum landscaping, hydroponics, Miyawiki gardens and more in our residential projects to ensure sustainable living. Also, we endeavour to ensure that our customers enjoy maximum fresh air and natural light.
At Ozone Group, we are constantly striving to deliver futuristic property solutions to our customers. We have our Polestar project in Bangalore, which consist of only smart homes.
