EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document has been prepared for Salarpuria Sattva Knowledge City - Magma at Ranga Reddy
District, Madhapur, in Hyderabad, and covers the Tenant Sustainability Guidelines for the project which
is targeting to achieve USGBC’s LEED v4 Gold Rating. The purpose of this document is to meet the Green
Building requirement for tenant interiors.

The development of this document is to implement sustainable environmental stewardship practices

that:
1. Protect the air, water, land, and other natural and cultural resources potentially impacted by
facility operations,
2. Meet or exceed applicable environmental, public health, and resource protection laws and
regulations, and
3. Implement cost-effective business practices.

Introduction
The Salarpuria Sattva Knowledge City is a special place to work because it combines high performance
with environmental responsibility; each feature of this building has been carefully planned, designed,
and constructed to create a comfortable, healthy, and environmentally friendly workspace that
occupants look forward to live, relax, enjoy and be yourself.

This building has been done with the intent to understand Mother Nature. We listened and then we laid
each brick. Now the time has come for YOU to listen to the spaces you occupy and respond!

Why we do it the Green way?

The environmental impacts caused during the construction of buildings are huge. Buildings account for
a large amount of land use, energy and water consumption, and air and atmosphere alteration. For this
reason, Salarpuria Sattva Group continually seeks new ways to lessen our building’s environmental
impacts through decision- making, design, construction, and operations strategies that help conserve
resources.

This commercial complex is located in Madhapur, Hyderabad. The building has major visibility in the
Madhapur locality and has close proximity to bus for many commuters. As the building industry moves
toward more energy efficient and high performance buildings, the project will provide a showcase for a
Green building for a residential space. The goal of this project is to create an energy efficient building
that will utilize less energy, consume less water, and create an environment conducive to the wellbeing
and comfort of its occupants.

This project building is a high performance commercial building and sustainable features have been
incorporated in all facets of the building which shares its benefits with both the Owner and the Tenant.

THE GREEN GUIDE
Proactive people take responsibility of their lives and make choices based on values said somebody. You
have made a choice and as the first step you have chosen to be a part of this green building and this

This is a Guide designed for everyone who has agreed to read it.

There are hundreds of jargons about sustainability and green technologies out there and it becomes
tough to pick the right one and put it to use. This Guide has been designed with YOU-the user in mind.
We decided that we’ll help you navigate through the green things that we done in this building. Feel free
to scribble, write notes, put stick notes (as long as it’s your own copy) and set reminders to do things as
you read and reflect upon the green ideas mentioned here.

As you get guided through this book, we are confident that your synergies will keep this building green
for its lifetime.
