DLF’s ‘The Crest’, Gurugram
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has introduced that the ‘2023 LEED Project of the Year’ has been awarded to India’s DLF for its ‘The Crest’, a residential growth designed for city dwelling in Gurugram.
“At a time where energy bills are skyrocketing and there are record heat waves across the world, ensuring that our homes are able to withstand the effects of climate change and extreme weather is more important than ever,” stated Peter Templeton, president and CEO, USGBC and GBCI, in an announcement.
“Everyone deserves to live in a home that is energy-efficient, resilient, and that provides the highest level of comfort, and is safe and healthy for occupants. Each of this year’s awardees exemplifies these attributes,” he stated.
“This prestigious award from the USGBC reflects our commitment to building a greener future and exceptional communities by integrating various aspects of environmental, social and governance practises,” Aakash Ohri, Group Executive Director and Chief Business Officer, DLF Ltd., stated in an announcement.
“The Crest is a prime example of an environmentally-friendly residential development that combines luxury and comfort with proximity to nature and is designed to deliver rapid and measurable environmental benefits and energy savings,” he stated.
“Last year, The Crest was recognised as the world’s largest LEED Platinum-certified residential project and this year as ‘Project of the Year’, by USGBC, underscoring our leadership in developing truly world-class, sustainability-focused properties,” he added.
Previously, The Crest had additionally acquired LEED Gold certification in 2019.
