This is with reference to "The World environment day" (Business Line, June 5): The article has brought into focus power generation and energy efficiency. The government's plan for generating power from renewable sources in a big way, various steps taken for conserving and saving energy are welcome.

Better energy-efficient designs should be encouraged by incentives. It should form part of the design of every building.
