7. Water Management
Water is collected in the entire campus (used water is collected, treated and used
for other purposes like Podium garden
Collection mechanism through slits on the ground (rain water harvesting)
collected –filtered – reused
Uses minimum water
Low flow mechanism
Sewerage is treated on-site through sewerage plants & then used for
landscaping,flushing, etc.

8. Energy Management
100% renewable energy campus
Energy that is generated on-site through wind & solar hybrid system
Photo voltaic panels are used for energy generation
Wheeling arrangement with MSEB through which they get 0 bill because the energy generated
from windmills and solar panels is uploaded on the grid and the current that is consumed is
always lesser than what is generated and uploaded by Suzlon

9. Materials Used
• 90% of buildings have access to natural light which not only
saves energy but also gives a
• good feeling in turn increasing the productivity
• All the glasses are in the building are double glassed. And
then again there is a space and aluminium shades are put
on the outer side of the glass which reflects the sunlight
thereby giving them natural light and reflecting away the
heat
• The synergy rooms and other classrooms in the excellence
academy use carpets that has recyclable components in it
• The walls of these synergy rooms are made by renewable
wood like bamboo etc
• Lights are sensory controlled

10. Materials Used
• There are glass cylinders used in each of the 4 buildings of
office space, situated in the midst of each building-there
are huge cylindrical structures acting as ventilators for
basement. The hot air from the basement goes up through
those cylinders and cool air replaces the hot air, This
maintaining a natural cooling system.
• Rooms in the whole building have CO2 detector that senses
the level of CO2 in the air within the room space – gives a
signal & pumps in oxygen if CO2 level is high
• Efficient lighting(combination of various CFLs) used inside
the building for lighting & for outside LEDs are used
• AC level in each room is sensory based

11. Waste Management
Waste is segregated into different types of bins.
A colour code is given to each of them
They are put into a double shredder
By using organics they are stored in trays for 14 days, this converts the waste
into manure
And finally the manure is used in maintaining own landscape & is also sold to
vendors

23. Sector Analysis – Construction
The construction sector contributes nearly 12% to India’s GNP and is growing at more
than 9% per year.
India saw a growth of around 30% in the real estate sector, constructing around 40
million sp. m every year divided equally between the residential and commercial
space.
The real estate and construction sectors received FDI of €216.53 million in the first
half of the current fiscal year.

24. Understanding the Need
Built environment is responsible in
each country for 25-40% of the total
energy use, 30-40% of solid waste
generation and 30-40% of global
House Gas Emissions
(CO2, N2O, CH4, HFC, PFC, and SF3).
The building sector accounts for 30-
40% of total global energy
consumption, 80% of which is
consumed during the operational
stage of a building and 20% during
its construction phase.
In commercial buildings, the annual
energy consumption per sq. m. of
the floor area is about 200kWh or
even more

25. Emerging policy and Regulatory Tools
Energy conservation act 2001
• The Bureau of Energy Efficiency was established under the Ministry of Power to implement
the Act.
• The Act requires large energy consumers to meet the energy conservation norms, large
commercial buildings to meet the energy building code, and appliances to meet energy
consumption standards and label.
Integrated Energy Policy 2006:
• This policy has identified key areas in the building sector for energy efficiency measures.
• It has asked for mandatory periodic energy audits for all buildings with loads above 1 MW
also for all government buildings.
National Building Code:
• The voluntary code provides guidance on aspects of energy conservation (related to Day
lighting and Natural Ventilation).
• NBC provides general guidance on potential energy-efficiency aspects of such factors as
daylight integration, artificial lighting requirements, and HVAC design standards.

26. Emerging policy and Regulatory Tools
Energy conservation building code (ECBC)
• ECBC has both prescriptive and performance-based compliance paths.
• The prescriptive aspect requires minimum requirements for the building envelope and energy systems
(lighting, HVAC, service water heating and electrical).
• The performance-based compliance path requires the application of Whole Building Simulation Approach
to prove efficiency over base building as defined by the code.
Building certification: Green Rating for Integrated Housing Assessment (GRIHA):
• The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and TERI has developed the nationally accredited Green
Building rating system for buildings with conditioned and non-conditioned spaces under different climatic
conditions.
• In addition, the building is designed according to the modern specifications for energy saving, star rated
household appliances, possible use of renewable energy, recycled building materials etc. as mentioned in
its green rating system.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED):
• The LEED rating system is completely a voluntary system and has established very interesting green
building projects across in India.
• The LEED certified green building foot print has grown since from first green building project of 20,000
Sq.ft. constructed in 2002 to the total registered project accounting 466.22 million sq.ft as per mentioned
in IGBC website.

27. Greenco Rating for Companies
• Launched in February 2011:
• The 10 parameters that this rating takes into
consideration include:
1. Energy efficiency,
2. Water conservation,
3. Renewable energy,
4. GHG emission reduction,
5. Material conservation,
6. Recycling & recyclables,
7. Waste management,
8. Green supply chain,
9. Product stewardship,
10. Life cycle assessment,
11. Others (ventilation, site selection & innovation)

31. What’s the way forward
• Intensive brand Promotion for providing energy efficient solutions for sustainable
constructions.
• Excellence in Cost effective Solutions.
• Investing in setting up demo Project for all in one Installed Cost effective solution
• Green Construction principle to be communicated to all stakeholders involved
during construction life cycle of the building.
• The lifecycle of a building along with rising operational costs from energy and
water consumption are the main concerns of an average middle class person. It is
challenging for a middle class society to cope with rising operational cost trends.
For India’s growing middle class the green building can be considered as a
sustainable and budget friendly investment for the long run.

32. What’s the way forward
• The skills requirement for the green buildings is still at a very nascent stage. The
ITIs and vocational training institutes do not have any idea of green skills which are
yet to be part of their course work. Training in these areas is the key for market
penetration and this can only be done when this is included in the formal
curriculum.
• This is an emerging area where conflict of interest between the builders and “green
cause” is already evident. The builders would always go for the most economical
options for their own projects. Out when it comes to public projects e.g.
roads, utilities; funded by the government they are known to be indifferent about
costs or green aspect. In this environment unless the green construction is made
mandatory and incentivized, it is unlikely to spread.
