Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman - ANAROCK Property Consultants, says, "Rapid real estate and infrastructure development in India directly impact the demand for faade and fenestration products, particularly in office spaces. Our cities are going increasingly vertical, and vertical development created heat islands which environmentally unfriendly products exacerbate. Moreover, eco-friendly faade and fenestration products promote officegoers' wellbeing and productivity. The quest for creating iconic office structures plays heavily on faades and fenestration to evoke a modern aesthetic ethos. However, this quest brings with it a real danger of ignoring the environmental prerogatives of sustainable development. This report analyses the best practices followed in countries like UK and UAE and makes a case of India's adoption of these practices."

Mihir Thakkar, Head - Fenestration, World of Fenestration, says, "The next leap for high-rise structures and glass faade buildings is definitely sustainable and eco-friendly faades which focus on energy conservation and reduced dependency on fossil fuels. Future-readiness in the face of mounting environmental concerns is the need of the hour. We need newer products and designs, and must invent superior materials - these must be the Indian faade and fenestration industry's priorities in the coming years."
