Acala Design & Tech Pvt Ltd
Climate-sensitive solutions using Panelized Frame structure with retractable cube and state-of-the-art living spaces
Acala provides tech-driven sustainable solutions for tackling inefficiencies in construction to meet the dynamic hospitality sector business needs by providing modular design and reducing wastages.
The Problem
Lack of flexibility in traditional building design and constructions to meet the needs of the hospitality businesses which require regular modifications of built space to meet the market needs. Static, permanent buildings cannot adapt to evolving needs like models, scaling up or down, changing functions, or even relocating without the costly, time-consuming, and environmentally damaging processes of traditional renovation or demolition, leading to landfill waste which is unsustainable.
The Solution
Acala Design & Tech tackles the construction inefficiencies and environmental impact of traditional construction by providing a rapid, cost-effective and sustainable alternative through our AI/ML-optimized, Panel frame-based modular system that enables faster deployment of adaptable, climate-sensitive buildings.
This includes the use of patented, retractable frame system, modular construction techniques with sustainable materials, use of AI and ML for design optimization and other such innovations.
Their solutions have applicability in the following areas:
- Agrotourism
- Ecotourism
- Resorts & Hotels, Homestays & Farmhouses
- Restaurants & Cafes
Impact
Adaptation of their tech has potential of Environmental and Economic impact in following areas:
Lower Carbon Emissions: Reduces carbon footprint by minimizing transportation of raw materials to the site and reduces the need for heavy, fuel-intensive, on-site construction equipment.
Zero Construction Waste: Off-site fabrication allows for precise material usage, eliminating massive amounts of waste typically generated by on-site cutting and assembly.
Extended Building Lifespan: Modular units allow for disassembly, repurposing and relocating, thereby avoiding demolition waste and extending the building’s useful life.
Minimal Environmental Disruption: On-site work is limited to assembly, which drastically reduces noise, dust, and disturbance to the local ecosystem and community.
Accelerated Revenue Generation: Rapidly-deployable system reduces construction timelines, allowing properties to open and begin generating revenue much sooner.
Lower Capital Expenditure: The zero-waste fabrication and reduced on-site labor minimize construction costs, material expenses, and the need for heavy machinery.
Maximized Return on Investment (ROI): The ability to alter spaces for seasonal needs and market demands ensures a property remains profitable year-round, increasing its revenue potential and overall ROI.
Reduced Operating Costs: Superior energy efficiency from the sealed, airtight building envelope leads to significantly lower heating and cooling costs over the building’s entire lifecycle.
Increased Asset Value: Sustainable, flexible, and rapidly-built properties are highly attractive to investors and customers, which can lead to a higher market valuation for the asset.
