India's information technology major Infosys bagged the prestigious Ashden Award for Sustainable Buildings in London this week for its cutting-edge design of new buildings which helps keep offices cooler and maximises natural light. The Bangalore-headquartered firm won the annual award, referred to as the Green Oscars, for "seizing every opportunity to reduce energy consumption in its existing buildings - from reducing the size of chiller plants for air conditioning, to painting roofs white so they reflect the heat".
