The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Karnataka to prepare a detailed report on the environmental implications of using glass facades in buildings. The SEIAA issues environmental clearance to buildings.
The copy of the NGT order dated February 7 was shared with indianexpress.com.
Quoting a 2015 study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru which stated that glass facade buildings consume more electricity and contribute to global warming, advocate Jagan Kumar J recently filed a petition before the NGT claiming that the authorities have failed to protect the environment.
