Green Building Journey
The Lessons Learnt

® IGP, Gulbarga


Lesson Learnt # 1
Green Buildings pay for themselves
Green Buildings make business
sense
Tangible benefits
Energy, water
Reduced investments on few equipment

Incremental cost : 2 - 6 %
Payback : 4 - 5 years

Incentives are only incidental ; Not the inspiration
®


Lesson Learnt # 2
Get the best From Wherever
Get the best products, trends & technologies
from where ever they are
Eg., High efficiency chillers, Sensors, IBMS
Standards & Codes
ASHRAE 62.1 (Fresh air),
IPMVP (Monitoring)

Will lead to market transformation
2001 : High Performance glass imported
2010 : Best of glass manufactured in India

® Today the world is flat; Seek the best

Lesson Learnt # 3
Architecture should be contemporary
Changing life styles, taste

Changing weather patterns

Designs also undergoing changes Wipro, Kochi

Daylight assuming increasing
importance

Designers should know the
intricacies & benefits of using the
latest technology, equipment , etc.,
®
Tradition & Technology should co-exist

The Road Ahead

Major Goals by 2012

Facilitate 1,000 Green buildings

Enable 1.0 Billion sq. ft. of green footprint

Train 5,000 Accredited Professionals

Facilitate tapping Green building materials

market of USD 40 Billion

Ultimately contribute towards a Greener Planet
