NEW DELHI: Delhi and Mumbai international airports were on Friday adjudged India's smartest airport buildings at the Times of India-Honeywell Smart Building Awards, 2015.
Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union minister for communications and IT, felicitated the winners. Urging building owners to do more in this area, he said, "The canvas of smartness must spread across India. Smartness shouldn't be confined to multi-storeyed buildings alone. There are so many heritage buildings such as the ones in Kerala that merge greenery with ambience. We should look at them too. We should capture conservation and greenery with the Internet of Things."
Eight other buildings in New Delhi, Mohali, Mumbai, Kolkata, Gurgaon and Bangalore were named the smartest building in various segments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, retail, commercial multi-tenant offices, single-tenant offices, residential facilities and public sector buildings.
Venkaiah Naidu, Union urban development minister, said, "I am happy that Times of India and Honeywell are awarding companies that have done outstanding work in the smart building space; I hope others will also take inspiration."
