Indore will soon be listed amongst places with a clean environment and energy-efficient building, said experts during a discussion on Modern Healthcare and energy efficiency.

Organised by the Indian society of heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning (ISHRAE), the conference focused on creating awareness regarding energy efficiency in buildings and creating green townships.

"A lot of energy is wasted on air-conditioning, heating and refrigeration. Our aim is to ensure that we get the best out of it. A sustainable approach towards environment is what we want to strive for," said Ashish Rakheja former president of ISHRAE.
