The residential sector in India is rapidly increasing given the expanding population of the middle class. An estimated 600 Mn people are likely to be living in urban centers by 2030, creating a demand for 25 Mn additional mid-end and affordable units. To meet this demand construction technology MIVAN is in use, but, due to the use of dense concrete for wall construction, it doesn’t meet the sustainability standards for green buildings set by the Eco Niwas (The Residential Energy Conservation Building code). Given the country's hot, dry, and composite environment, effective thermal insulation is crucial for sustainability and energy efficiency. Through the use of case study simulation, this work investigates the law of diminishing returns while enhancing the conservation level of residential structures. In this study, I identify the optimal thickness of Fiberglass insulation with 24 Kg/m density and 0.033 K conductivity value applied on 200 mm thick, 64m2 concrete walls constructed using MIVAN technology. The RETVs (Residential Envelope Transmittance Value) of the dwelling unit with and without the insulating material have been calculated to identify which one meets the sustainability, and energy-efficient criteria. In addition, the cost-benefit of applying insulation to the growing middle class of India by finding out the pay-back period and return on investment. This research finds that using insulation in residential units will promote sustainable development and be cost-effective
