French consulate
Following an energy audit made in 2015, the French Consulate of Pondicherry decided to reduce its energy demand. The first step was to replace existing devices by energy efficient devices and the second step was to install a solar plant on the roof commissioned in 2016. The French consulate received a five star rating by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
