FCDA Office Building becomes Telangana’s First Government Project to Secure IGBC Net Zero Energy Design Certification

The Future City Development Authority (FCDA) Office Building has become the first government building in Telangana to achieve the IGBC Net Zero Energy Certification (Design stage), awarded by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), part of CII. The certification was formally presented at the inauguration ceremony held at Future City on June 10, 2026.

The recognition was presented by IGBC National Chairman C. Shekar Reddy to FCDA Commissioner K. Shashanka, IAS, in the presence of Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The Chief Minister highlighted the milestone as a key step in Telangana’s commitment to building sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible urban infrastructure, noting that Future City will continue to prioritize green development practices.

The FCDA Office Building has been designed as a Net Zero Energy facility, meeting 100 percent of its annual energy requirements through a combination of onsite renewable energy generation and green power procurement under the state’s Green Tariff policy. The project includes a 40 kWp rooftop solar photovoltaic system, expected to generate around 60,000 kWh of clean energy annually, along with energy-efficient design elements such as high-performance HVAC systems, efficient lighting, and optimized daylight utilization.

Officials stated that the project reflects Telangana’s broader vision of creating future-ready urban ecosystems driven by sustainability and innovation, while setting a benchmark for net zero public infrastructure in India.
