With considerable boost from BEE’s initiatives, the energy efficient
products market has grown considerably. The star labelling programme
along with proactive information dissemination through TVC’s and an
attractive advertising campaign can lead to an increase in the sales.
With the rising demand for insulation materials, high performance
glass, heat reflective paints, energy-efficient masonry units and the
like, the number of manufacturers and suppliers of these materials
is also increasing. However, there is still a huge market potential for
energy-efficient products, equipment, and technologies, in India. A
few energy-efficient products available in India are given in Table 1.6.
There is also a potential and necessity for promoting alternate
materials and construction technologies which are more environment-
friendly, less resource-intensive, and respond to the diverse demands of
the huge construction sector. Some of these include filler slabs, pre-cast
lintels and chajjas, HI-SEB, pre-fabricated panes, pre-cast door/window
frames/sunshades/staircases, bamboo mat corrugated sheet, bamboo
particle board, sakura roof, etc. These materials and technologies are
