The project takeaways--1.Use of degenerated land for generating energy.2.Cannot just replicate the system-need favourable wind and land3.Heating system costs came down after bio gas plants were set.4.People want to have a say as to where their electricity comes from and do not want to depend on large industries-people have experienced how beneficial RE has been.5.Some did not like to see wind turbines but have accepted. There are issues of noise and shadow so they are set far from homes.
One interesting discovery---

Conventionally it is accepted is that Hydel power is “Green” and non –polluting.
The scenario is different in India where there is much strain on available land and water. Hydel power displaces people- affects livelihoods and food security.
Flooded farmers in central India have submerged themselves neck-deep in water - some for as long as 17 days - to protest a state government's dam project that has inundated t.

Future energy consumption1.where?2.Social needs3.How? India's dependence on imported fossil fuels rose to 38% in 2012,
despite the country having significant domestic fossil fuel resources. India ranked as the fourth-largest energy consumer in the world in 2011, following China, the United States, and Russia. The country's energy demand continues to climb as a result of its dynamic economic growth and modernization. India is the third-largest economy on a purchasing power parity basis and has the world's second-largest population, according to World Bank data

Co-operative Collaborative model of exchange to be developed.
Passive designs : Vernacular architecture is largely passive , but present urban development do not encourage passive living. High energy consumption in buildings becoming a norm
Embodied energy : Concept of embodied energy as an integral part of use of materials and systems.
Water and Energy nexus :
Example of integrated design—SAFE example.
8Kw solar plant powers an RO plant
2l water/person available free
Refusal water to public toilets
Effluent to bio digestors based toilets and NPK rich ferilizer
Effluent to conventional toilets into biogas
Result gas for cooking and lighting
