Real Estate Developers in Ahmedabad are undergoing a shift, considering the ideology of sustainability and green building in their design and construction. Driven by the rising demand for sustainable living, their construction techniques favour greener and smarter building solutions like cavity walls, DGU glass, Solar panels and more.

In this blog, we will see details of the sustainable construction component – DGU glass. It is a double-glazed glass unit, used in windows and balcony doors, instead of regular glass.DGU glass is one key element in eco-friendly construction, and many real estate projects in India, especially in Ahmedabad, have started using it for sustainable development. 

What Is DGU Glass?

DGU stands for double-glazed unit glass. It consists of two glass window panes, separated by a space to reduce heat and noise transfer, thus improving energy efficiency. For regions with intense sunlight and significant temperature variations, such as Ahmedabad, DGU offers a practical solution for maintaining comfortable indoor environments year-round.

Why Is Ahmedabad Real Estate Adopting DGU Glass?

Ahmedabad is known for its hot semi-arid climate. Except for the monsoon, it’s mostly dry and windy. The city has been expanding and developing in all terms,  whether it’s population, industries, infrastructure or demand for residential and commercial spaces. In simple words, we can say it’s growing. With all the benefits of development, there’s a notable rise in noise pollution and air pollution.

We, D&C Developers, are one of the most trusted Real Estate Developers in Ahmedabad. We have started considering all the problems faced by people. And that’s why we’re constantly adopting and incorporating green building design, and DGU glass is one of them. Apart from this, we have also incorporated cavity walls, vertical and horizontal louvres into our building. Our projects are designed with the idea of sustainability with love and passion (an emotion signified by the red balloon in our campaign! ).

Benefits of DGU Glass

Real estate developers have started using this DGU glass in various parts of their projects, in windows and balcony doors of residential and commercial buildings, to overcome the effect of heat and be energy efficient. Let’s take a look at the benefits of DGU glass in brief: 

  • More Durable Than Normal Glass

Double-glazed units have two layers of glass with a gap between them. These are more durable than a single glass pane. A double layer makes it harder to break than a single glass.

  • Sound Insulation

The gap between the two layers acts as insulation to reduce noise entering from the outside environment. Thus, giving more privacy and peace to commercial and residential spaces as we used in our projects – Pratham and Meghdhanush.

  • Thermal Insulation

Acting as acoustic insulation, it also works as thermal insulation. It is very effective for a city like Ahmedabad. This property of DGU units helps to lower the inside temperature, reducing the use of the air conditioner, an energy saver and energy-efficient component.

  • Energy Efficient

Two glass panels with a gap in between act as a barrier to heat transfer. This will reduce the inside temperature. It also reduces the condensation of glass and thus prevents moisture buildup.

  • Added Property Values

Building with green building components has higher resale value, market value and increased rental premiums. Overall, investing in such property ensures quality living and a secure financial future.

D&C Developer And Our Red Balloon Campaign

We, D&C Developer, have years of experience (16 and counting!) in completing residential and commercial projects with green initiative components. Recently, we celebrated our beautiful 16-year-long journey with a Red balloon campaign.

A red balloon signifying love and passion, like we show to our projects. We have built spaces the way you hold a balloon gently with care.

What the D&C Developer Red Balloon Campaign was about: 

  • We, as a boutique real estate developer, build spaces the way you hold a balloon gently with care.
  • We create spaces that rise gently into your life, light, joyful, unexpectedly memorable, not loud but lasting.
  • Crafted with care, grounded in design and filled with quiet emotion. Just like a bunch of red balloons, delicate, full of life, needing a little love to keep them safe. Our spaces are made to be held with the same thoughtfulness.
  • We thoughtfully designed a space meant to inspire connection, purpose and joy.
  • Our projects are crafted with intention, integrity and heart.

At D&C Developer: We Care About You And Mother Earth

Adaptation and evolution are the keys to survival. For ages, humans, animals, and their living standards have been evolving with time. The shift towards sustainability is beneficial to both present and future generations. Real estate development is also evolving just like humans are, and sustainable construction is an important aspect or result of this evolution. Similarly, sustainable construction includes building green spaces which are energy efficient, durable and have less impact on the environment.  

Green buildings use natural light and ventilation to reduce environmental impact while promoting occupant health.

DGU, double glass unit, is one of those green building components used in our projects like Pratham and Meghdhanush. It ensures blocking of extra noises from outside and reduces the heat transfer,  thus less use of the air conditioner, making it more energy efficient. It will add value to the property, as properties with green elements have increasing demand. Using DGU glass is a cost-effective, durable, and environmentally friendly solution. 

We design sustainable places that care for not just you but also Mother Earth!

FAQs

1 What is a DGU?

Answer-  A DGU is a double-glazed unit, a two-layer glass panel made with a gap between the layers.

2 Why is DGU a green building component?

Answer- Because this double-layer pane, when used in windows and doors, reduces the heat transfer from outside and works as insulation for noise.   

3 What was the Red Balloon Campaign about?

Answer- It was a celebration of completing 16 years of D&C Developers, with a message as strong as red colour.  Red balloons signify the delicacy and love it needs, same as we care about our projects.
