Avasara Academy is a residential school campus located in Lavale (near Pune), Maharashtra that exemplifies how contemporary architecture can incorporate climate-responsive design principles and vernacular approach to achieve net-zero energy. The project reduced its annual energy cost by 80% using a completely passive design. In the daytime, pre-cooled air from the earth ducts is supplied to the spaces and flushed out through solar chimneys. Rooftop solar PV and solar hot water systems meet the residual energy demand.
