Green Track: Fast-tracking Green Building Certification
Project anchor

Charter doc
Description of project
We are currently engaged in reimagining the process of green building certification through the use of AI. The building and construction sector is the largest emitters of green house gases globally. Green buildings as an alternative holds enormous carbon and energy saving potential. However the process of designing and certifying a green building is one that is expensive, time and energy consuming. We are developing an AI tool that would assist in verifying compliance with various green building standards, beginning with GRIHA Standards. The aim is to make the certification process faster and cheaper to encourage widespread adoption of sustainable construction practices.

DigiForm - AI Powered Form Filling
Project anchor
David Menezes
Charter doc
Description of project
Forms are a way to collect information, which can come in various languages and formats like text, speech, or images. However, current form-filling processes only use a few languages and mostly rely on text, ignoring other formats. This is a missed opportunity. With AI, information can be accepted, translated, and used in many different languages and formats.
DigiForm is an AI project aimed at making it easier for everyone in India to fill out forms. It will help people with different language backgrounds and literacy levels to fill out forms quickly, easily, accurately, and confidently, while also helping businesses save money and streamline their information collection process.

Description of project
Imagine a system, a City Engine for each settlement with a bunch of modules and plugins, built on core mathematical systems approach to city planning and governance. By treating organisations, projects, assets and services like a system with causal loops enabling seamless information exchange between organisations, citizens and public service entities. This can help intensify interactions within the urban framework by leveraging geospatial repositories ( synthesised with the power of AI) , thus facilitating better urban management through enhanced interoperability. The envisioned future includes the ability to access comprehensive city information across thousands of cities, enabling a deeper understanding of their unique attributes and challenges, and make informed desicions at a departmental level, at scale
