Eco-citi, with its use of various ecological materials, aims to redefine the standards of living of its residents. Supertech Ltd, a Noida-based real estate developer, has announced the launch of India’s first ever eco-centric development project, ‘Eco-Citi’ in Sector 137.

Use of biodegradable materials The idea behind the development of this project is to build zero carbon emission by using special generators, machineries and ecological sanitation. The master plan of the project has laid emphasis on maximum use of eco-label products and material, energy efficient landscaping, rain garden, design club house-ecodome, biomass plant to provide steam and energy, low voltage LED lighting which will be used in all the common areas, paper bottles and plastic recycling bins all around the campus, self electricity generation for common areas by means of solar panels and wind mills and an irrigation system to recycle grey water whereas green building uses only the eco-friendly construction material and does not have any special low carbon emitting plants. The buildings will also have a natural ventilation system, concrete floors to maximise thermal mass, and use of other recycled material. The apartments will have extensive balconies for panoramic views and a bedroom skylight. The project is accredited by CDM-Gold Standard Foundation of Switzerland.
