Mahindra-TERI

Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Sustainable Habitat

Fostering innovation and resource-efficient solutions tailored to the Indian building sector and climates

Centre of Excellence

The Mahindra TERI Centre of Excellence (MTCoE) for Sustainable Habitat is a joint research initiative of Mahindra Lifespaces and TERI. Primarily, it emphasizes developing science-based solutions for India’s future-built environment, intending to reduce the energy footprint of the real estate industry. Over the past few years, the CoE has been successful in providing energy-efficient innovative solutions tailored to the Indian building sector and climates. The MT CoE lab, a SVA-GRIHA 5-star rated facility, has received the accreditation for testing thermal properties of building materials from National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).

The use of the state-of-the-art research techniques, tools and performance measurement solutions at the Centre will help generate performance data and metrics that can help to scale up the implementation of energy-efficient building stock in India. Numerical toolkits and material database arising out from the research works shall be made available in the public domain.
