The average person will agree that the office commute is the most tiresome and time-consuming part of their day. With rising air pollution levels and traffic-congested roads, it is vital to find a sustainable solution to beat the problem. A large number of gated communities and common office spaces make the community carpooling a viable option. With a little organisation, residents can easily find co-passengers travelling towards their destination. Apps used for community management can also be used to organise the same. Given the common pick-up point, there is no commute confusion and the ride-sharing presents ample opportunity to socialise and fraternise with fellow residents.

What is Community Carpooling?

Community Carpooling is an innovative transportation idea that allows anyone to share their personal car with other members of the community during a commute. This is a great idea for people heading in the same direction.

Why use community carpooling?

1. Traffic-free roads

With a population of 1.3 billion people, more than 4.4 million passenger cars are sold in India each year, most of which are concentrated in metropolitan cities. This alarming number contributes to congested roads and longer commutes. If a large number of residents adopt community carpooling as their main mode of transportation, this could contribute to relatively freer roads and keep traffic in check.

2. Save on fuel costs

With ever-rising fuel prices, splitting the fuel cost with fellow passengers is a smart way of managing your transportation costs. Alternatively, the group could create a schedule to rotate their personal vehicles throughout the week.

3. Help the environment

By using a common car, you are not only reducing your dependence on non-renewable sources of energy but reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A small step like this considerably reduces air and sound pollution and makes your surrounding more livable while keeping your community carbon emissions in check.

4. Reduced stress on parking

With a high number of cars, public spaces and office buildings are burdened with providing sufficient parking infrastructure. An organised community carpooling group limits the number of cars that need to be accommodated and reduces strain on the space.

5. Get more out of your commute

If the carpooling group rotates drivers, other passengers have a chance to catch up on work, listen to podcasts, read a book or complete other tasks during the commute especially if the commute is a long one. This also minimises commuter stress and alleviates your mood.

6. Socialise with your community

Commuting with people from the same residential society allows you to meet new people living in close proximity, which makes the commute a less boring one.

How to organise carpooling?

1. Encourage residents

The society admin or management committee should initiate the conversation around carpooling. Educate your residents about the benefits of carpooling and actively encourage the same in your community.

2. Circulate forms

Circulate digital forms to gauge how many residents are interested in community carpooling. Make use of the responses to create the groups. The Mygate app includes communication management features that allow you to discuss such matters on the app. The management could also organise polls on-app to ensure all points are considered.

3. Organise into groups

Residents can organise into groups according to the area of their daily commute. This allows residents to create their own carpooling groups according to their place of work, schedule and convenience. Members could also use the society management app to form a group and discuss the carpooling details with other residents.

4. Set the rules

Once the residents have organised into groups, they can decide on whether the group will have a designated driver or alternating drivers, the pick-up and drop-off locations, how fuel costs will be split, how long the group will have to wait before starting the commute etc.,

5. Schedule the rides

The groups can choose to schedule the rides at a fixed time every day or notify others in their group when they are starting their commute. The members should, however, be sure to communicate the timings to fellow riders to avoid any confusion.

6. Maintain decorum

Ensure you maintain decorum when travelling in another car. Ensure you are punctual, avoid making loud phone calls, keep the surroundings clean so as to not inconvenience the co-passengers.

Community carpooling has a number of benefits that have a positive social and economic impact. With a growing number of residential societies and common office spaces, adopting community carpooling for your daily commute is not a difficult task, all it requires is a little coordination and cooperation. Organise a carpooling group and minimise commute stress.

Apartment owners would promptly agree when we say that at least a quarter of their total maintenance bill is the expense of the light bill for common areas. Residential buildings with high-end amenities like air-conditioned corridors, fully equipped gyms, and heated swimming pools would bear even higher maintenance charges. However, the simple truth of the matter is that at least 20 to 30% of the overall electricity bill can be reduced by conscientious choices, mindful practices, and stricter usage monitoring.

Common areas that utilise electricity are staircases, elevators, community halls, swimming pools, and parking spaces. Additionally, societies also use diesel generators and water pumps in plenty.

The tragedy is that multiple users and no real repercussions cause an amount of lack of motivation as the bills pile up without anyone being held accountable. Such is the curse that comes with the blessings of community living, people get apathetic towards common goals and the whole society ends up paying for it. The RWAs and MCs need to spread awareness among residents, maintenance staff and internal committee members to curtail electricity usage while simultaneously employing below listed measures to see practical results.

Install solar panels

You can consider installing an off-grid or grid-tied rooftop solar system specially for running common areas of the society. This will be a one-time investment with approximately 15 years of zero utility bill (excluding maintenance and upkeep). During the daytime, all energy needs will be directly met by the sunlight, the rest is taken care of by battery storage. Backup batteries (or main supply) can always be used in case of cloudy weather. The government gives a 30% subsidy on solar system installation.

Change light fixtures

Swap your older energy inefficient filament light fixtures and incandescent bulbs with LED lights which consume less power due to inbuilt semiconductor technology. Check energy star rating as well as luminous efficacy (ratio of luminous flux to power). High luminous efficacy is considered anywhere between 120 and 180 lumens per watt, which can be found on the packaging. LED lights are known to use up to 75% less energy than regular light bulbs. To light up gardens, gyms and pools too you can use bright LED floodlights which use 10-12 watts of electricity while giving the higher output of light.

Install motion lights

Some areas in your apartment complexes, like the staircases and corridors, may not be well lit. Even if they are, the lights are always on even while residential footfall is less, resulting in wastage of electricity. Motion sensor lights can detect movement a few meters in 360° direction, sensing presence through infrared/heatwaves and turn on automatically while staying deactivated during the day. They can be installed in all common areas since they’re not expensive. Additionally, in building reception and offices, you can install motion sensor switches for light and fans so that no electricity is wasted when someone leaves and forgets to switch off the light and fan.

Reassess the boiler room

There may be defective, overused or old equipment in the boiler/utility room of the apartment complex that may be consuming more electricity than required, e.g. chillers, heat exchangers, HVAC system, electric water pumps, DG sets, battery generators, etc. Get them fixed or repaired and maintain them regularly to avoid overuse of electricity.

Invest in smart energy meters

Under the Smart Meter National Program, the government intends to replace 25 crore traditional meters with smart meters. Besides the program, you can privately install a smart meter specifically for the common energy monitoring. A smart meter is a digital device that can transmit energy consumption information at regular intervals so you can monitor excessive usage, and make sure there is no pilferage. Some useful features are remote connect/disconnect, anti-tamper and fraud detection, IoT-enabled (can be operated via an app), and plug and play models. Billing efficiency is expected to get better by 75-100% through the deployment of smart meters since they entail minimum billing errors and increase cost-effectiveness.

Use energy-efficient appliances

Whether it be communal water coolers, electric floor scrubbers, or energy-guzzling vacuum cleaners or ACs, facilities management staff or managing committee members should replace all energy inefficient equipment with energy star products. Also, if you’re using a water pump to fill water tanks, it’s wise to install automatic water level controllers that would shut down the pump once the tank is at full capacity.

A gated community can also form energy monitoring teams whose sole responsibility would be a charter that lists down best practices to reduce energy consumption. As part of the agenda, duties can be delegated to team members to monitor usage in each area, e.g. the smart meter readings can identify which areas are using the most power and the person responsible can implement countermeasures. Slowly but surely, positive results would manifest.

After two destructive cyclones, Amphan and Nisarga, wreaking havoc in the last few months, yet another cyclone is about to hit the country in 2020.

Cyclone Nivar which is categorized as a ‘Severe Cyclonic Storm’ is headed towards South India on Wednesday, 25th November 2020.

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry while a yellow alert has been declared for the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The cyclone is projected to generate wind speeds of 100/110 km per hour, intensifying to up to 120 km/hour. Section 144 is imposed in Puducherry while rainfall is expected in Tamil Nadu until 27th November. Following the announcement, the government of Tamil Nadu has released emergency numbers as well.

For housing societies, this is the time to exercise utmost precautions to prevent damage to property, injuries, or loss of life. 

Here’s a checklist for residents to follow in the wake of a cyclone:

• Keep an emergency kit handy with first aid necessities in case of any injuries.

• Have a backup power system in place, such as a power bank to charge mobiles/laptops in case of power failure. Keep enough flashlights and dry cells ready as well.

• Trim any branches hanging over rooftops/balconies and clear the storm drains of leaves, snags, etc. in order to avoid waterlogging. 

• Take a look around the house/apartment and within the society premises to remove any dead branches, metal sheets, pipes, glass, unhinged garbage receptors, bricks, and other materials that can go flying off with strong winds.

• Check the house for loose/broken/ cracked glass in windows and doors. Also, check if there are loose tiles or distresses that can come apart during the cyclone and have them fixed.

• If doors and windows seem weak and there isn’t enough time to repair then, have them temporarily boarded. 

• Clear your balconies, patios, gardens, and other front-facing structures of loose items including hanging pots, decorations, furniture, and any other paraphernalia.

• Have enough water clearing tools like mops, buckets, and towels handy in case of stormwater comes gushing in the house.

• Stay updated with vital information and cyclone updates through TV, radio, digital mediums (a transistor radio would also do in case of a complete power outage and no access to the internet).

• If your house has higher ground, take shelter there. Otherwise, stay in the centre of the house and keep away from doors and windows.

• It’s not advisable to completely prevent air circulation. Crack open a window (halfway) located at the sides that are not in the direction of the wind.

• Disconnect all non-essential electronic equipment that consumes power such as fridge, TV, washing machine. At the same time, check all electrical connections in the house and common areas of the society to make sure there are no exposed wires, flammable liquids, or burning smells. If you want to be doubly sure or if the danger is severe, switch off the electrical mains in the house.

• Make sure that the outer units of air conditioners are firmly screwed so that they’re intact during the cyclone. 

• Turn off the gas main and immediately call for help if you smell smoke or burnt rubber. Exit the building and find shelter nearby.

• Store enough water, groceries,and non-perishable food items to weather prolonged durations of cyclonic activity.

• If anyone in the family has a special diet or medical requirements (e.g. diabetics/physical impairment), provisions should be taken care of in advance.

• Residents who are under immediate threat of the cyclone in low-lying areas, ground floor/first floor and are ordered to evacuate, should vacate the premises after removing valuables/ assets from the home if there is a strong possibility of flooding. Put up storm shutters as well. If you’re headed to a storm shelter, pack only all essentials for survival that would last a few days, such as medicines for children and elderly, clothes, etc. 

• Make sure legal documents, contracts and certificates are stored safely with damage-proof wrapping materials.

• Housing societies should ascertain that two-wheelers and cycles are parked securely so that they don’t fall or go colliding into each other.

• Gardening sheds, water tanks, composting units, solar system, satellite TV systems, etc. should be properly covered/tightly screwed in to prevent any damages.

Cyclones are a regular feature of the Indian landscape and have disrupted the lives of countless citizens in the past. They still remain a massive threat but if proper measures are taken after the alert is sounded, society and its residents can save themselves from trouble and devastation on a large scale. Society’s MC/RWA must alert the residents immediately so that no one’s left uninformed and give them a customised checklist of steps to take in the event of a cyclone.
