 Very good morning to everyone and welcome to this green building awareness workshop. So we have, basically we have some people here. This is a workshop that is a collaboration between the National Mission of Education through ICT and Team Shunya which is basically it consists of students and faculty from Academy of Architecture and IIT Bombay. Team Shunya is the first ever Indian team to be selected for an international competition called Solar Decathlon Europe which the aim of which is to build a design build and operate a green building or a house that is solar powered that is energy efficient attractive and affordable. So they have been charged with building this house and they'll be building it in IIT Bombay as well as building it in France in 2014 June and July. So this is this workshop the goal of this workshop is really to create awareness and spread education about green buildings. All across India in the academia in in the industry professionals and for the public. So this this workshop is the design of this workshop is meant to really give you a very broad overview of what we mean by green buildings, how energy efficiency, how a passive architecture plays a role in defining green buildings and you will get insight into some of the technical aspects of how energy performance of the buildings can be measured. And we will have six lectures so the first five lectures will be given by the faculty of IIT Bombay and Academy of Architecture. The lectures range from giving you a macro level view of sustainable construction to going into how inherently the vernacular architecture of India has sustainable features in it to going into the energy modeling aspects. There will be case studies that will be discussed regarding some of the green buildings in India and what are the energy alternative options that are available for the buildings. And the last lecture would be would be a special lecture by the Team Shunya students who will be talking to you about what solar decathlon competition is about and where how they are building and designing the house that they are calling H naught or a net zero house. We would like you to so we are actually grateful for this overwhelming participation and there is such a huge number so we have two interactive sessions each of 45 minutes. The first interactive session will be after the third lecture and the second one will be after the sixth lecture at the end of the lectures. So we would like you to prepare your question and answers which we will try to answer in these two interactive sessions but we would also like you to use the online forum if all the questions are not answered. The other goal of this workshop is to gauge the interest of the academic community regarding what kind of what topics you would be interested in to take this further into a much more detailed training workshop at in few months or in some time in the future as part of the NME ICT a continuing education program. So we would like to hear from you after the lectures on the online platform the Moodle platform that is created as to what topics you will be interested in. I think I have that only that much to say about this so again a very warm welcome to everyone and we will soon start with our lecture series.
