What is Global Housing Technology Challenge (GHTC)?

The Global Housing Technology Challenge, often abbreviated as GHTC, is an ambitious initiative that seeks to harness the potential of cutting-edge construction technologies to address the housing needs of a rapidly growing global population. Spearheaded by various governments and organizations, GHTC aims to foster innovation and collaboration within the construction industry, revolutionizing the way buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained.

Major Components of GHTC-India

The Global Housing Technology Challenge-India (GHTC-India) consists of the following major components:

Grand Expo and Conference

GHTC-India organizes a biennial Grand Expo and Conference. This event serves as a platform for all stakeholders involved in housing construction to exchange knowledge and conduct business. It brings together industry experts, innovators, and developers to showcase and discuss the latest technological advancements in the sector.

Lighthouse Projects (LHPs)

LHPs are demonstration projects that showcase the merits and applications of selected innovative technologies. These projects serve as live laboratories for research, testing, and technology transfer. They also help increase awareness and mainstream the use of these technologies in the country. The funding for LHPs follows the guidelines of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U).

Affordable Sustainable Housing Accelerators - India (ASHA-India)

ASHA-India is a program under GHTC-India. It supports and promotes research and development in the housing construction sector. It focuses on building materials, products, and technologies. ASHA-India provides incubation and acceleration support to potential future technologies in the housing sector. It aims to encourage innovation and create a platform for showcasing India's vibrant community of housing innovators.

Features of the Global Housing Technology Challenge

The global housing construction technology challenge stands out for its innovative features that set it apart from conventional construction practices. Some prominent features include:

Integration of Advanced Technologies

GHTC encourages the adoption of advanced technologies such as 3D printing, modular construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and sustainable building materials. This integration enhances construction efficiency, reduces material wastage, and minimizes the carbon footprint of housing projects.

Emphasis on Cost-Effectiveness

One of the key objectives of GHTC is to make housing more affordable without compromising quality. By promoting cost-effective construction methods and materials, GHTC aims to provide accessible and comfortable housing solutions for all segments of society.

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

GHTC fosters a collaborative ecosystem where researchers, architects, engineers, and construction experts can come together to exchange ideas and best practices. This collaborative approach accelerates the development and implementation of innovative housing technologies.

Lighthouse Projects

India's involvement in GHTC is particularly noteworthy. The concept of "Lighthouse Projects" involves creating model housing developments that showcase the application of cutting-edge technologies. These projects not only serve as inspiration but also as practical examples of how innovative construction methods can be deployed effectively.
