Addressing the gathering after inaugurating the expo, K. Subramani, Chairman, Green Building and Eco Friendly Materials and Method Committee, BAI, said: “MyGreen exhibition is organised as a part of World Environment Month celebrations, to increase the awareness level among the public. Most of the historical buildings in the country are engineering feat that were achieved several hundreds of years ago, which also give a message on how man and nature were intricately connected. The forts, palaces and houses were all built amid nature, with limited waste of resources. However, as the skyscrapers started dominating the scenario to accommodate growing population, they were considered detrimental to the climate.”
