“Everyone deserves to live in a home that is energy-efficient, resilient, and that provides the highest level of comfort, and is safe and healthy for occupants. Each of this year’s awardees exemplifies these attributes,” he said.
“This prestigious award from the USGBC reflects our commitment to building a greener future and exceptional communities by integrating various aspects of environmental, social and governance practises,” Aakash Ohri, Group Executive Director and Chief Business Officer, DLF Ltd., said in a statement.
“The Crest is a prime example of an environmentally-friendly residential development that combines luxury and comfort with proximity to nature and is designed to deliver rapid and measurable environmental benefits and energy savings,” he said.
“Last year, The Crest was recognised as the world’s largest LEED Platinum-certified residential project and this year as ‘Project of the Year’, by USGBC, underscoring our leadership in developing truly world-class, sustainability-focused properties,” he added.
