Key Highlights
The building is fully complaint with the ECBC (Energy Conservation Building
Code).
Sustainable site planning has been integrated to maintain favorable micro
climate.
The architectural design has been optimized as per climate and sun path
analysis.
Energy efficient artificial lighting design and daylight integration.
Energy efficient air conditioning design with controls integrated to reduce
annual energy consumption.
Passive strategies such as an earth air tunnel incorporated in the HVAC design
to reduce the cooling load.
Envelope optimisation
Lighting optimisation
HVAC optimisation
Has reduced the cooling requirements when the HVAC sizing was taken into
consideration.
Use of energy efficient lighting system integrated daylight dimmers control the
use and need of lighting requirements during daytime operation
Significantly reduces the heat gain entering the building and hence the cooling
requirements for cooling the heat through envelope.
Use of variable frequency drive for Air handling units significantly reduced the
running cost for cooling requirements
So, we infer that the right selection of glazing for the building envelope
significantly affects and brings down the energy consumption of the building. The
Judicious use of Saint Gobain’s Planitherm Mint Green PLT TG [Advanced Thermal
insulation Low-e] for Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering, IIT
Kanpur has reduced the energy consumption in
