, (18726 m2 superstructure &
12675 m2
- Basement)
Year of completion : 2013

PRIMARY ROAD
(AUROBINDO MARG)

A METRO STATION "JORBAGH" IS AT WALKABLE DISTANCE OF ABOUT 300M FROM THIS
PLACE.

ACHIEVEMENTS:

40% SAVINGS IN ENERGY

ZERO ELECTRICITY BILLING
55% SAVINGS IN WATER
ZERO NET DISHARGE
LARGEST ROOF TOP SOLAR
POWER SYSTEM IN ANY

India PLATINUM)

CRITERIONS OF GRIHA FULFILLED

SITE PLANNING
NO.

CRITERION

POINTS

Site selection

Preserve and protect landscape during construction

Soil conservation (till post-construction)

MEASURES FOR SITE

Wider Front Setback (22m) to protect front tree line
Preserve the integrity of the green street
Preservation of the local ecology, Tree Cutting approvals for 46, but only 19
cut
- 11 Trees Transplanted
- Excavated Soil reutilized at other construction sites and the Zoo
The IPB office building for the ministry of
environment and forests has been planned in 2
parallel blocks facing the
north south direction, with a large linear
open court in the centre.The Building blocks
create a porous block form to optimize
air movement throughout the site and the NS orientation allows for optimum solar access
and shading.

 EFFECTIVE VENTILATION BY ORIENTATING THE BUILDING E-W AND BY OPTIMUM

INTEGRATION WITH NATURE BY SEPARATING OUT DIFFERENT BLOCKS WITH CONNECTING
CORRIDORS AND A HUGE CENTRAL COURT YARD.

GEOTHERMAL HEAT EXCHANGE

AT SITE:
There are 180 vertical bores at the
Depth of 80 meter all along the
Building Premises. Minimum 3
meter distance is maintained
between any two bores.
Each bore is lowered with HDPE
pipe U-loop (32mm outer Dia.) and
grouted with Bentonite Slurry.
Each U-Loop is connected to MS
Header Pipe(100mm Dia.)which
finally joins the Condenser Water
Line in Plant Room.
Condenser hot water is sent at
100F (37.8 C) & back at 900 F
(32.2 C).
One U-Loop has
0.9 TR Heat
Rejection capacity, so all together
160 TR of Heat rejection is obtained
without using a cooling tower.
Enormous water saving since no
make up water is required.
Make up water pumping &
treatment cost get eliminated.
Saves cooling tower fan energy.

MATERIALS
Stone available in nearby area for flooring
Terrazzo flooring with locally available stone
materials.
Fly ash brick.
AAC blocks.
Jute bamboo composite for door frames &
shutters.
UPVC windows with hermetically sealed double
using low heat transmittance index glass.
Use of high reflectance terrace tiles for low heat
ingress.
