Delta Electronics’ Americas Headquarters Becomes the First LEED Zero Energy-Certified Green Building

Delta, a global provider ofIoT-

FREMONT,Calif., May 4, 2023—Delta, a global provider ofIoT-based smart green solutions,today announced its Americas regional headquarters (HQs)has become the first green building in Fremont, CA, and second in the Silicon Valley Bay Area, to achieve the LEED Zero Energy certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The accolade, granted to green buildings that generate as much electricity as they consume, has been attained thanks to the further implementation of Delta’s own solutions on this originally LEED Platinum facility. A new solar PV carport, supported by a 330kWh Delta energy storage system,now helps toincrease the building’sannual green electricity generationto over 1.4 million kWh. With 32 green buildings(1)enabled worldwide, Delta’s solutions arenurturingsustainable cities.

“Just as Fremont leads the way in clean technology, Delta Electronics continues to set the industry standard for building performance. The company’s built-to-suit Americas HQ in Fremont previously laid claim to being one of the earliest private sector LEED Platinum facilities in California.Today, Delta Electronics sets another milestone as only the second facility in the entire Bay Area to achieve LEED Zero-Energy.”,said Lily Mei, Mayor of Fremont. She added, “As one of the greenest cities in the nation, we’re proud that Delta Electronics continues to showcase sustainability through thoughtful application of technology, including using its Fremont facility as a proving grounds for many of its own products while working through pandemic disruptions to invest even further in our community.”

Kelvin Huang, President of Delta Electronics (Americas), said, “Fremont has been Delta’s home in the Americas for over 30 years, so it is an honor for us to contribute to our community with the environmental and social benefits of the city’s very first LEED Zero Energy green building.With its net-zero energy capabilities, our Americas HQs green building will contribute even further to Delta’s RE100 initiative, which is a promise to power our worldwide operations with renewable electricity by 2030. By developing smart energy-saving solutions capable of fostering green buildings and sustainable cities, Delta demonstrates that its ESG-embedded business model can bolster mankind’s environmental goals.”

Aided with an energy-conscious design that utilizes geographical advantages unique to Fremont while considering the productivity and needs of its operations, the Delta Americas HQs building is an example of what a total integrated solution can look like. The most recent upgrades made possible with Delta’s own IoT-based Smart Green Solutions are:

 The facility generates over 1.4 million kWh of renewable electricity through a 616kW rooftop solar PV system and a recently constructed 504kW bi-facial PV carport system, both supported by Delta’s high-efficiency PV inverters. That green energy output covers 100% of its consumption needs over a full calendar year.

 The recent addition of a 330 kWh Delta energy storage system helps to optimize energy management in the facility.

 A recent enhancement of Delta’s data center cooling solution, featuring a dedicated economizersupported by our own DC brushless electronically commutated (EC) fans and variable frequency drives for HVAC applications, have contributed significantly in lowering the annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the building’s data center from 1.5 originally to as low as 1.25.

 Optimized energy management is also attained by the implementation of Delta’s next-generation SCADA system and building control platform. The former is VTScada, the industry’s most powerful SCADA system, developed by Canadian-based Trihedral, a Delta Group Company;the latteris the enteliWEB building control platform, developed by Canadian-based Delta Controls, also a Delta Group Company. These platforms integrate seamlessly with the existing building sub-systems, such as HVAC, LED lighting and other energy-intensive applications, to create set points, collect data and track trends, create reports, and manage alarms, remotely. With unlimited scalability, this solution grows with the facility as new solutions are integrated to ensure lower energy consumption.

(1) Delta has created 32 green buildings worldwide since 2006 to promote the environmental, social and health benefits of green buildings. Several of these green buildings have been donated to academic institutions to inspire next generations to foster sustainable development.

How Pune’s Cultural Quotient Boosts its Real Estate Market

Akash Pharande,

By Akash Pharande, Managing Director – Pharande Spaces

Pune is renowned for its rich history, culture, and tradition, and is often referred to as the cultural capital of Maharashtra because of the multitude of cultural activities and events taking place throughout the year. As every Puneri will vouchsafe, living here offers a unique cultural experience that is difficult to find in other parts of India.

But is a city’s traditional ethos more than just a feel-good factor? It certainly is – and it positively impacts real estate demand there.

Naturally, a city’s ability to attract tourists is good for its hospitality sector, but hotels aren’t the only real estate asset class that benefit from a strong traditional heritage. It also ensures consistent demand for rental homes, and even attracts homebuyers from other cities who are drawn to the city’s traditions-rich vibe.

Naturally, a city's ability

Pune was a center of power and culture for centuries. The city’s historical landmarks, such as the Shaniwar Wada and Aga Khan Palace, attract tourists from all over the world. he city is famous for its well-preserved historic buildings and architecture, which create attractive and unique streetscapes and also increase property values in the surrounding areas.

Pune is also known for its vibrant music scene. The city is famous for its classical music and has produced some of the greatest musicians in India. Classical music concerts and festivals are held throughout the year, attracting music lovers from all over the country.

A city’s traditional quotient creates a sense of community and identity among residents, resulting in a higher sense of pride and attachment to the area. Pune has many such areas which remain perennially attractive because they are steeped in a cultural ethos.

A strong cultural foundation imbues a city with a unique character and charm that sets it apart from other cities, and delivers a distinctive living experience. Cultural amenities like museums, art galleries, performing arts venues and historic sites add to the quality of life for residents and make the city desirable to homebuyers from other cities.

Tradition also means other things apart from a strong spiritual ethos and cultural landmarks. A city can be traditionally known for aspects like the quality of education available there. And, in fact, one of the most prominent cultural values in Pune is its emphasis on education.

How Pune's Cultural Quotient

Known as the Oxford of the East, Pune is home to several top educational institutions, including the University of Pune, the Film and Television Institute of India, and the National Defence Academy. Every year, Pune’s educational institutions traditionally attract students from all over the country.

This not only creates a diverse and intellectually stimulating environment but also sets the tone for its cultural events and activities, which often focus on literature and art.

Finally, Pune is known for its warm and friendly people. Puneris are known for their hospitality and welcoming nature, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home. The city’s diverse population also creates a sense of cultural acceptance and tolerance, making it an ideal place for people from all walks of life to live.

All of such traditional and cultural highlights add up to a powerful package which has direct correlations to property demand. While the city’s long-standing residents cannot imagine living anywhere else, Pune’s unique cultural background also makes it a most sought-after city to relocate to, and a second-home destination without parallels.

Our partnership with Locus also helped us scale our business consistently and build brand loyalty amongst customers.” said Juan Pablo Diaz Rodriguez, Head of Last Mile of Jüsto.

Users can buy and sell fractional and whole shares with all order types during extended hours. The pre-market hours are from 4:00 AM – 9:30 AM ET | 1:30 PM – 7:00 PM IST, while post-market hours are from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET | 1:30 AM – 5:30 AM IST.

Kiwi disrupts Indian credit card industry

Bangalore, May 04, 2023: Kiwi, a revolutionary credit card platform, has announced the launch of its all-in-one “Credit on UPI,” solution for customers. Certified by the NPCI, Kiwi is the first app in India that will help customers experience “Credit on UPI” by issuing Rupay Cards in partnership with banks. With this launch, Kiwi aims to create one of the largest direct-to-consumer (D2C) models in the credit market through its cutting-edge mobile application, which offers users the ability to make payments using either a credit card or bank account directly through their phones in a secure manner.

The company has raised $6 million in pre-seed funding from marquee investors – Nexus Venture Partners, Stellaris Venture Partners, and a host of angel investors. Kiwi has been co-founded by senior fintech experts and banking industry veterans, Siddharth Mehta (ex-CEO, Freecharge), Mohit Bedi (ex-Axis Bank & PayU), and Anup Agrawal (ex-business head, LazyPay).

Speaking about the launch, Siddharth Mehta, co-founder, Kiwi, said, “UPI has become the most inclusive mode of payment in India, with over 30 crore unique users and 5 crore merchants onboarded on the platform. With the launch of Kiwi app, for the first time in India, users can now leverage the power of a (RuPay) credit card with the convenience and ease of UPI. Our vision is to enable access to credit on UPI for 1 million users over the next 18 months.”

RBI recently approved the linking of RuPay Credit Cards to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which will provide a seamless, digitally enabled credit card lifecycle experience for the users. Kiwi users will be issued a RuPay credit card, digitally and instantly. Post receiving the card, users will be able to link the card to UPI on the Kiwi app and will be able to use the “Credit on UPI” transactions facility at offline as well as online stores. The Kiwi app will also help users manage their cards with a host of facilities like blocking cards, increasing limits, and making card payments while rewarding them for every transaction.

With the monthly expenditure on UPI P2M transactions amounting to approximately Rs. 3.2 lakh crore, which is almost 2.5x larger than the monthly credit card spends, Kiwi is set to capitalize on a significant untapped market. Moreover, the number of unique UPI users are more than 100 times the number of existing card users in India, and the acceptance points for ‘Credit on UPI’ are anticipated to be five times larger than regular credit card acceptance points. Looking at the whitespace that Kiwi is addressing, we’re confident that their model will support plenty of Indian credit card users on a daily basis.”
