Achieving Net Zero Energy
diversion)

• Waste segregation at source • 33% reduction in energy demand through CRD and passive & active design:
• 100% wet waste composting (food - Window sizing, material and shading
- Reduction in internal and external heat loads
waste + landscape waste)
- Use of solar reflective paint on the roof
• Resource recovery center for dry waste
- Efficient wall and roof materials
• Toxic waste management (electronic
- Appropriate window to wall ratio
waste & biomedical waste) - Use of energy efficient equipment
• 100% onsite composting of wet waste • Remaining 67% energy requirement is met through:
o 5% On-site renewable energy generated through
- Rooftop Solar PV
- Harness wind as a source (Wind turbines on the roof of the building

project with sustainable features (third-party survey conducted)
 Impact and Benefits
Aligned with the group vision
•The first step towards achieving our goal to develop only Net Zero buildings from the year 2030
onwards
• Continuing to be a pioneer in sustainable homes after being the only developer since 2014 to
have all Green rated buildings

Impact on planet

▪ Reduced demand for energy and hence related carbon emissions

▪ Avoid Environmental degradation (due to avoided extraction, processing, and
transportation of resources to generate electricity)
▪ Less Disturbance on Natural Cycles

 Impact and Benefits
Projected savings of ₹ 16.4 Cr for the Mahindra Projected Cost Savings (over 5 years)
Eden residents over the first 5 years Energy Management ₹ 9.5 Crore

Benefit for people Water Management ₹ 4.7 Crore

Waste Management
▪ Equitable Resources for all ₹ 2.2 Crore

▪ Monetary savings for our customers (₹ 54 / sq. ft. annual household maintenance cost savings)
▪ Recognition (India’s first Net Zero Energy Homes – Mahindra Eden)-

Profit for the organisation

▪ Increased brand value (due to increased customer satisfaction – 7.2% higher average
price realization over budget
▪ Fastest selling inventory (250% increase in the number of units sold than projected)
