Majority Shopping centres as a Building World over very Enviromentally unfriendly........Given the hot and humid climatic conditions in India its just a case of adding fuel to the fire......

Malls are very inefficient Energy guzzlers............

But I strongly think that as India's retail Landscape is very nascent and in its infancy steps must be taken not to blindly replicate the Amercian model in terms of design. More thought,value engineering need to be put at the design stage itself to look into aspects of energy saving and environment friendly concepts.

ICSC inputs in this area will be of great and invalueable help in this.

Last but not the least at the end of the day these measures must make the project viable and make all the stake holders happy.
