Case Study

Introduction
• Location- New Delhi
• Geographical coordinates
- 28° N, 77° E
• Occupancy Type- Office
(MoEF)
• Typology- New
Construction
• Climate Type- Composite
• Project Area- 9565 sqm
• Wider Front Setback (22m) to
protect front tree line .

Emphasis on the North & South for Optimal

Solar Light but cutting Solar Heat, Bringing the
Greens in
Ground Floor Plan
Indira Paryavaran Bhawan uses 70% less energy compared a
conventional building.

• The Courtyard also helps in

air movement besides
being a shaded interaction

Provision of Solar
Photovoltaics for Net Zero
requirement also Shades the
Roof.
Elevation

• Photovoltaics Stepping towards the south side creating a strong

agenda for the future for urban buildings on limited site areas.
Utilizing lessons from nature &
traditional buildings
-Maximum Ground Coverage Used (30%) to keep building height comparable to
the surroundings
- Respecting the Eco-
logic of the site.
Building Punctures &
jalis to Aid Cross
Ventilation and
maximizing non –
conditioned spaces like
lobbies, passages,
service areas
Energy conservation measures

Geothermal Cooling
Condenser water heat shall be rejected
to earth by boring at suitable depth &
sending hot water at 100°F (37.8° C)
& back at 900 F (32.2° C).
• Enormous water saving since no make
up water is required.
• Make up water pumping & treatment
cost get eliminated.
• Saves cooling tower fan energy.
Lighting design

• Energy efficient lighting system ( LPD = 5 W/m2) , nearly 50%

more efficient than Energy Conservation Building Code 2007
requirements ( LPD = 11 W/m2) reduces energy demand
further.
• Remaining lighting load supplied by building integrated
photovoltaic (BIPV).
• Use of energy efficient lighting fixtures (T5 lamps).
• Use of lux level sensor to optimize operation of artificial lighting.
Active Chilled Beams

• Working Principle
• Supply air flows through
nozzles in small air jets which
induce room air to flow
around the coil & air gets
cooled.
• Design / Constructional /
operational advantages

• Reduces power consumption

• Reduces power
consumption
• Easy Installation
• No noise as no
moving parts
• Easy Air balancing
activity

• No filters
maintenance
• Save architectural
space height

Net Zero Design
• N-S Orientation– Extensive Greenery to reduce heat load
• Maximizing Day lighting to reduce lighting loads
• Extremely Low Lighting Power Density – 5w/sqm
• Planning to Minimize AC loads (Keeping open atrium for cross ventilation, Non
conditioned lobbies).
• Ground based heat exchange for Condenser Water .
• Energy efficient appliances (5 star BEE).
