By the year 2030, the consumption is expected to increase up to 50%. In India building sector consume a total of 70% of the electricity generated in the country. Studies indicate more than 50% of energy is used in buildings for occupants comfort like cooling and lighting. Energy consumption in the building sector will continue to increase until buildings can be designed to produce enough energy to compensate the growing energy demand of these buildings. Toward this end, many governments promote zero energy buildings. A zero-energy building is a building with zero net energy consumption; it means the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is equal to the amount of energy produced on the site or off the site. These buildings do not increase the amount of greenhouse gases and less impact on climate. This paper aimed at reviewing some literature on zero energy buildings in India and suggests ways of improving the energy usage by the occupants.

Renewable energy sources and technologies have the potential to provide solutions to the long-standing energy problems and Green House Gasses emission being faced by the country. Current renewable energy contribution stands at 86 GW(including large hydro power) of the total installed capacity of 305 GW in the country. To meet the energy requirement for such a fast growing economy and cut CO 2 emissions level, India will require an assured supply more energy than the total energy demand. The renewable energy is one and only options to solve the crises. Today, renewable account for about 14% of India's primary energy consumptions. India is increasingly adopting responsible, renewable energy techniques and taking positive steps towards carbon emissions, and ensuring a more sustainable future. In this paper, efforts have been made to summarize the availability, current status, major achievements and future potentials of renewable energy options in India.
