A million S.F. of ground plus two levels in a 10.4 acre urban setting achieved a leed Platinum and Teri Griha 5 Star certification with 8% of its annual energy generated on-site through photovoltaic panels and windmills with a total incremental cost of about 11%.
There are no other leed certified buildings with this level of certification and on-site renewable energy that have achieved this kind of cost efficiency. With 92 % (4 MW) being consumed by the project is ‘sustainable energy’ making this a Zero Energy Project!
Drawing clues from vernacular architecture, while respecting nature and culture, this sustainable and efficient design provides 75% of the work stations with daylight and external views, allowing inhabitants to enjoy seasons, weather conditions and to connect with the time of the day.
Aluminum louvers act as a protective skin allowing daylight and cross ventilation. All areas have operable fenestration allowing natural air and ventilation when possible. These strategies resulted in lower, thinner and longer building shapes that increase the ratio of fenestration to volume, enhancing natural light and ventilation in a hot and dry climatic conditions.
The building employs a complex building management systems. Lighting of individual offices is controlled by combined daylight and occupancy sensors. Sixty five percent of energy is saved by use of LED outdoor light systems in comparison to conventional scheme. Thirty to 40% reduction in operating cost, due to energy savings and water savings at 30%.
100% Rain water is harvested and 100% grey water is recycled via onsite
sewage treatment. It is used floor-flushing, air cooling, landscaping. Low flow fixtures are used to
reduce consumption of water by 60% and touch-less urinals with sensors.
ECOFRIENDLY MATERIALS: - Low V.O.C paints, 100% recycled carpet is used, natural woods, low
heat cement is used.
