Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
The correct option is D (d) All of the above
The Energy Management Centre (EMC), an autonomous institution under the Kerala government has grabbed the global spotlight for its energy-positive campus. According to the UNEP report, the EMC’s energy-positive campus was designed to allow natural cross-flow ventilation from building forms and openings. The EMC campus uses daylighting controls, CFC-free heating, ventilation and cooling systems, along with a halogen-free fire-fighting system. Solar reflectance index coating, combined with high-albedo painting and turbo- vents for passive cooling, has been used, and tropical rainforest trees help create cool surroundings. Only certified green construction materials, recycled wood boards, low-emitting paints and adhesives, and green-plus certified carpets have been used.
The other five projects recognized by the UNEP include the Sierra Crest development in Fontana, California, the Association of Nubian Vaults in Sub- Saharan Africa, a construction, and demolition waste recycling project in Paris, the Palm Tree eco-development project in Hanoi Vietnam, and the Higashi- Matsushima Smart Eco town in northern Japan
