Abstract: The paper summarizes the efforts of an elective design studio in which a parametric model was linked to
detailed energy output data in order to provide accurate feedback about building performance EDITORS

NREL data. The program from the 2009 Solar Decathlon competition served as the program for the
investigation and provided a constraint-rich environment for developing parametric models. The class REVIEWERS

About NSM
• Mahindra EPC can tie up with foreign companies to acquire new technologies and
build competencies in the domestic market
EPC in
India
• Mahindra EPC can experiment with new BoS in initial years. Role of BoS can be a
crucial one for plant efficiency
• Mahindra EPC can also look for EPC opportunities abroad to develop a comprehensive
Objective
domestic strategy with learnings from foreign exposure.
• Mahindra EPC can experiment with the best EPC models prevailing globally –
LSTK, BoS-EPC, etc. – to finalize upon the best EPC model for India.
