About Homes for LIFE project

India faces a significant housing challenge, including urban shortage of approximately 18.78 million units, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to basic amenities. About 65% of this shortage affects economically weaker sections and low-income groups.

To address these challenges, SELCO Foundation is committed to building sustainable, energy-efficient, thermally comfortable, and climate-resilient homes that enhance the well-being of vulnerable communities. Recognizing the intersection of housing, energy access, and climate adaptation, SELCO has facilitated the construction and upgrading of homes, embedding energy-efficient technologies and practices and effective built environment. These interventions have led to enhanced thermal comfort, energy savings, and overall improvements in health and productivity for occupants. Notable efforts include the development of guidelines for energy-integrated built environments.
