PROJECT – SOLAR ROOFTOP & LED IN SCHOOLS / HOUSEHOLDS

Reducing Kolkata City’s Carbon Footprint

Kolkata city receives more than 2100 hours of great sunshine and yet there are hardly any solar installations in the city. The development model being followed and rampant concretization and formation of urban heat island effect (the temperature ranges upto 6 degrees across the city) is increasingly the norm. ccckolkata is working to create awareness about renewable energy, specially solar energy amongst the youth in schools and colleges. LED as an energy efficient lighting option is also being demonstrated through energy audit in this community.

Similar programmes are also being carried out in the schools for the urban underpriviledged.
