One Paramount-1: Sustainable design

How important is it to enter a building and feel healthy and safe? One Paramount, a pre-certified USGBC Gold building is a sustainable, high-performing, and healthy space.

LEED buildings have always been at the forefront of the movement to create sustainable buildings. One Paramount offers a reduced consumption of power, using renewable resources, rainwater harvesting, water recycling among others. At One Paramount, ceiling hanging gardens not only enhance thermal insulation but also prevent the building from retaining excessive heat.

The real estate industry as a whole is striving towards encouraging greener building practices within their communities, reducing carbon footprint and limiting impact on the surrounding natural environment.

This year’s UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, highlighted that while real estate is responsible for around 40% of all global carbon emissions, it is also adopting sustainable practices. The industry is trying to move beyond efficiency to take a leadership role in building a future that would have a positive impact on the environment instead of the other way round.

While there is still a long way to go, positive steps are being taken by a lot of real estate players to fight climate change and engender environmental consciousness.

One Paramount-1 is the benchmark for an integrated work-life environment in Chennai.
