Abstract
The paper focuses on review of developments in low carbon building technologies since the inception of ASTRA/CST. Five decades of R&D and dissemination of alternative building technologies has been traced in three phases. The narrative highligts many building technologies developed, R&D work through doctoral programmes and sponsored research, capacity building and design of special courses. The impact of the low-C technologies on the construction industry, emission reduction and public investment on these technologies have been highlighted. The ASTRA/CST work ultimately resulted in over 4 million tonnes of carbon emission reductions. Apart from training many building professionals and the work provinded innovative topics for the doctoral reseach programmes at Indian Institute of Science.
期刊介绍：
Started in 1914 as the second scientific journal to be published from India, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science became a multidisciplinary reviews journal covering all disciplines of science, engineering and technology in 2007. Since then each issue is devoted to a specific topic of contemporary research interest and guest-edited by eminent researchers. Authors selected by the Guest Editor(s) and/or the Editorial Board are invited to submit their review articles; each issue is expected to serve as a state-of-the-art review of a topic from multiple viewpoints.
