Abstract
Abstract: Over time, mass housing projects have emerged as a solution to the problem of urban housing shortage, especially for MIGs and EWS, and continue to do so. Housing is an important indicator of development and mass housing is related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Along with adequate numbers of houses, basic amenities are the fundamental requirement of comfortable living. A major portion of urban infrastructure is constituted by power. In the year 2022, India faced acute power crisis when daily peak power shortage rose to 10,778 MW and energy deficit reached 5% at the national level. To deal with the shortage of conventional sources of energy, India had set a target in 2016 to reach 175GW of renewable energy by 2022 and by April 2022 it had 95 GW of solar and wind power thus missing its target by 51 GW. Investment decisions of the key stakeholders of mass housing project have heavily relied on the initial construction costs, government subsidy schemes and solving the problem of urban housing shortage. While climate change and energy crisis are a reality today, investments in sustainable development are slow due to the high initial costs. It is necessary for all the stakeholders – from developers to clients, to shift their attention to the long-term performance of a building which includes operational and maintenance costs. This study compares two alternatives of a mass housing project located in Navi Mumbai
