Dr. Priya Ranjan Trivedi staying at A 15, Paryavaran Complex, New Delhi 110030 (INDIA), Mobile: +91-9818097247 has designed a Masterplan Paradigm for the overall development of Housing in the following manner :
4.1 Principles
b) there is a finite limit to non-renewable resources available
for energy production;
c) the most commonly used methods of energy production have
serious, deleterious effects upon the planet, most notably air
pollution and contribution to greenhouse gases;
d) energy problems will not be solved by additional conventional
power generation capacity;
e) transition to ecologically sustainable energy systems will be
achieved through long term planning, research and development,
demand management, increased energy efficiency and conservation,
and greater reliance on renewable sources of energy;
f) given the environmental impact of large scale dams for
hydro-electric schemes, and the high costs and risks to the
environment and human health associated with nuclear energy, we
do not consider that these systems form a viable long-term basis
for putting the energy sector on an ecologically sustainable
footing; and
g) achieving sustainability in the use and production of energy
will have ramifications for every sector of the economy.
4.2 Goals
We aim to:
a) take a lead role internationally in promoting policies to
reduce the impact of climate change due to the enhanced
greenhouse effect;
b) assist other countries to develop and meet greenhouse gas
emission targets through technology transfer and other forms of
assistance;
c) apply integrated resource planning principles to the
provision of all non-transport energy services. This is a
systematic way of providing energy services to society at least
cost;
d) provide for participation by local communities in planning
and implementing strategies to provide energy services
sustainably;
e) exercise restraint in use of non-renewable fossil fuel
reserves in order to leave adequate supplies for future
generations; f) reduce dependence on fossil fuels by
g) address regional equity impacts of making the transition to
ecologically sustainable forms of energy production and use,
through long term planning and specific development programme
for affected regions. Some regions which are currently heavily
dependent on the extraction of fossil fuel and the development
and maintenance of power generation facilities which use fossil
fuel will suffer employment loss in the transition;
h) establish strong national regulation over energy production,
distribution and supply to ensure that integrated resource
planning is implemented, to control economic, social and
environmental impacts in the public interest and to ensure full
community consultation;
i) provide incentives to encourage consumers to promote
alternative energy technologies; j) introduce a comprehensive carbon levy; revenue from this levy is to be used to fund public transport as well as the development of alternative energy techniques such as solar thermal power, photo-voltaics and wind power; there will also be compensation for any regressive impact of this levy on low income earners.
b) use all available mechanisms to optimise electricity
generation, distribution and supply infrastructure;
c) introduce tight enforceable regulation of the electricity
supply industry to protect the public interest and the
environment;
d) reduce emissions of Carbon Dioxide and other greenhouse gases
and adopt clear national, regional and local energy policies to
enable this target to be reached; e) support an international protocol that makes these targets binding for all industrialised countries;
g) establish a Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA) to coordinate
and oversee programme for research, development and adoption of
energy efficiency and renewable energy in India;
h) adopt mandatory energy labelling, and mandatory minimum
energy performance standards for all commercial and domestic
appliances, equipment and buildings;
i) oppose any new coal-fired power stations and large-scale
hydro-electric dams; j) provide information and low-interest loan programmes to encourage rural residents to choose renewable energy systems for domestic and farm power supplies.
