Adoption of Innovative Structural Systems for Sustainable Construction A Case Study of Info Park, Kochi

Author(s) Adila Salam, Dr. Sirna Santosh Kumar
Country India
Abstract This study explores the adoption of innovative structural systems for sustainable construction, focusing on Info Park, Kochi, as a microcosm of modern urban development in India. By employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews and case studies with quantitative lifecycle cost analysis and environmental impact assessments. The findings highlight the transformative potential of advanced construction technologies in achieving sustainability goals. Innovative structural systems, while incurring an initial cost premium of 15–20%, offer significant long-term benefits, including a 30% reduction in operational costs, enhanced material efficiency through reduced waste by up to 40%, and carbon emission reductions of 20–35%. Buildings such as Athulya Building and Carnival Infopark exemplify the effectiveness of modular construction, renewable energy integration, and advanced water management systems in reducing environmental footprints and optimizing resources.
The study also identifies key barriers to widespread adoption in the Indian context, including financial constraints, regulatory gaps, and stakeholder resistance stemming from limited awareness and training. To overcome these challenges, the research underscores the necessity of systemic reforms, such as policy-driven incentives, capacity-building initiatives, and the integration of digital tools like AI and IoT for operational efficiency.
These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and industry stakeholders, bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation of sustainable construction practices. By demonstrating the economic viability and environmental benefits of innovative structural systems, this research establishes a compelling case for reimagining urban infrastructure in developing economies, aligning with global sustainability targets such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
