CONSTRUCTION JOURNEY

GREEN ONE5 star GRIHA rated project

SUSTAINABLE SITE PLANNING METHODS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

Reducing hard paving and using grass pavers instead

Water bodies to help control the heat.

Criteria 1: Reduce UHIE (Urban heat island effect) and maintain native vegetation on sit

• 74% of the total open area onsite is soft paved.• The project has water bodies which leads to positive affect

on the spaces surrounding them during peak summer months.

PASSIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STRATEGIES

The project has green roofs in the form of terrace gardens.

Clay pots installed on the roof for insulation.

Criteria 2: Adopt passive architectural design strategies

Fenestration design to reduce heat gain has been incorporated. Deeply recessed balconies is used by using glass of low SHGC

Day-lit area-54.72% of the total living area falls under day lit zone, reducing the energy consumption by 62.27%

Criteria 3: Good window designs to reduce direct heat gain and glare, while maximizing daylight

PASSIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STRATEGIES

EFFICIENT LIGHTING AND APPLIANCES USED TO REDUCE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Criteria 4: Design of efficient artificial lighting systems

EFFICIENT ENERGY USE

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

• Building materials have been well thought about

• Recycled building materials such as fly ash bricks have been used for the building.

Criteria 5: Design of building envelope to reduce overall heat gain.

Criteria 7: Use of Renewable Energy

RENEWABLE ENERGY DESIGN STRATEGY

4kWP solar photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters of 400 LPD capacity have been installed to cater to the energy consumption of the building.

Low flow fixtures

Native flora have been used to reduce the building and landscape water demand

WATER CONSERVATION STRATEGY

Criteria 8: Reduction in building and landscape water demands

RECYCLING

• Generation of manure from organic waste through installation of ‘Daily Dump composter’.

• Waster water is recycled and reused through a root zone treatment facility on the roof.

Criteria 10: Generate resource from waste
