Abstract

This paper emphasizes on constructional sustainability and will also acknowledge its misconceptions which will help in focusing on the fundamental ideas and values of sustainability. The country has to pay a huge price for these sophisticated structures. Currently this April, sweltering heatwaves have affected numerous areas of India, with New Delhi seeing temperatures as high as over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This occurs before the nation'ssummer season officially begins in a few weeks. The usage of air conditioning to beat the heat feeds the vicious cycle since it uses more energy and generates more heat while doing so. Numerous blackouts during the day and night have occurred in numerous Indian cities as a result of using more electricity. An urban island heat effect is produced by the excess heat the AC units emit. According to experts, India's contemporary architecture would make it more difficult for citizens to adjust to heatwaves that may become more frequent and prolonged. A rising number of environmentalists and young architects who are concerned with sustainability are urging a return to traditional design in response to the warning signs.
