What it reported doing in 2025
SvaraScape Inc. conducted a municipal climate and energy transition program focused on improving energy efficiency behavioural energy management and renewable energy adoption across municipal buildings in Navi Mumbai and Thane India in partnership with C40 Cities and municipal stakeholders. The program served municipal corporations public-sector facility managers and local government stakeholders by developing implementation-ready strategies to reduce electricity consumption improve operational efficiency strengthen institutional climate action and support long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction in public infrastructure. The program included walk-through energy audits behavioural assessments rooftop solar feasibility analysis stakeholder engagement technical systems analysis and development of implementation roadmaps for municipal facilities including hospitals schools administrative offices stadiums laboratories transport facilities community halls and public service buildings. Across the two cities the assessments covered approximately 19 municipal facilities and analyzed building-level electricity consumption energy performance indices cooling systems lighting systems operational practices and renewable energy opportunities. The project identified significant opportunities for reducing electricity consumption through a combination of technical upgrades and behavioural interventions. Findings demonstrated that implementation of recommended measures including high-efficiency cooling systems lighting retrofits operational improvements optimized air-conditioning practices equipment upgrades and rooftop solar deployment could reduce electricity consumption in audited municipal buildings by approximately 25-35% with an additional 5-10% savings achievable through behavioural energy-efficiency measures alone. Estimated benefits included annual electricity savings of approximately 600-800 MWh year in Navi Mumbai municipal facilities and significant reductions in municipal operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The program also developed implementation-ready roadmaps behavioural change frameworks bilingual awareness materials procurement recommendations and institutional strategies aligned with Maharashtras broader city decarbonisation and climate resilience goals. The work contributed to municipal capacity-building evidence-based climate planning public-sector sustainability implementation and development of scalable urban climate action models for Indian cities and the Global South.
