 WHAT IS SELF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING ??

A BUILDING DESIGNED TO HAVE A LOW ECOLOGICAL IMPACT BY USING RESOURCES

EFFICIENTLY, USING INTERNAL RECYCLING, RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES, RECYCLABLE OR
BIODEGRADABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, AND BLENDING IN WITH THE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT, PARTICULARLY IN OUT-OF-TOWN LOCATIONS.
 ENERGY CONSERVATION IN OUR 4TH YEAR BLOCK

civil block
 USING SUNLIGHT
• SOLAR ENERGY AVAILABLE= 127 W/FT2
• IN INDIA AT 15 % EFFICIENCY THE ENERGY WHICH CAN BE EXTRACTED THROUGH SOLAR
PANELS= 0.4 WATT PER DAY PER SQ. FT.
• ASSUMED CONSUMPTION OF AUR BLOCK = 9KWH(UNITS) /HOUR
I.E. 60 KWH /DAY WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM CONSUMPTION
33 KWH/DAY 3 MONTHS DURING WINTERS
• NO OF WORKING DAYS IN A YEAR =190
OUT OF WHICH 70 WINTER DAYS AND 120 SUMMER DAYS
• ELECTRICITY CONSUMED PER YEAR=70*33 +120*60=9510 KWH(UNITS)
 PROPOSAL

• ASSUMING THE SOLAR PANELS OF 15 % EFFICIENCY

• 1KW SOLAR SYSTEM GENERATES 4 UNITS PER DAY
• 15 KW SOLAR SYSTEM WILL GENERATE 60 UNITS PER DAY
• 20 KW SOLAR SYSTEM WILL GENERATE 80 UNITS PER DAY
. AND WILL TAKE AROUND 2000 SQ. FT. SPACE
• IN GRID TIE SYSTEM 176 UNUSED DAYS ASSUMING EQUIVALENT TO 150 UNUSED DAYS
• 150DAYS *60 UNITS /DAY=9000 UNUSED UNITS / YEAR
• 9000*10=90000 RUPEES PER YEAR +30% SUBSIDY ON SET UP
 UNCONVENTIONAL WAYS

• HEATING THE BUILDING DURING WINTERS USING METAL PIPE NETWORK OPENING IN THE
GROUND FLOOR ROOMS OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND USING THE AIR
PRESSURE CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST TO HEAT THE ROOMS.
Why pipes? Why aluminium and how?
• Aluminium is the best available conductor at available cost.
• We can have a huge pipe on the roof.
• We can connect this huge pipes to many small pipes that will be
connected to the classroom we have to heat.
• A powerful exhaust fan will be fixed at the end of this big pipe.
• As this pipe will get heated, the exhaust will help the warmer air to
enter the small pipes and in turn heat the whole class.
Using piezoelectric matts
• Piezoelectric sensors are the sensors that are capable of converting
pressure into electricity.
• We can have piezoelectric matts on the stairs as well as the floor.
• People walking on these matts will help generate electricity.
Using the mechanical energy wasted by
people in the building
• We do work in our daily chores .all of this work is not converted into desired
energy form.
• Rather a larger amount is wasted against the various forces like friction and
gravity.
• In gym large amount of energy is wasted on the machines which are designed to
increase our effort while exercising.
• Working:- the pulling and pushing action applied on the machines can be
transferred to the common shaft . The rotating shaft will also produce torque on
a dc generator of suitable specification which can be connected to the battery
system .
• Except this work can be utilize to drive the dc generator which can be used to
power our daily appliances.
• This idea at present produces insignificant amount of energy but if this idea is
worked upon ,the amount of energy produced can be magnified manifold.
