2. 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.
3. 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
4. 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
5. EFFICIENT LIGHTING AND APPLIANCES USED TO REDUCE THE ENERGY
CONSUMPTION
Criteria 4: Design of efficient artificial lighting systems
EFFICIENT ENERGY USE
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. 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
