    The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar campus in located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat on a 211,795 square meter site with 127,534 square meters of built up area. The campus was completed in 2017 and received a 5-star GRIHA rating. Sustainable strategies were used including reducing hard paving and landscaping to lower temperatures, stormwater management, treating all wastewater on site, making buildings 46% more energy efficient, and powering the campus partially with a biogas plant and solar panels. The campus also promotes sustainability through accessible universal design, electric vehicles, waste segregation, and environmental education.

    Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)–Gandhinagar, Phase 1A

    Location : Gandhinagar, Gujarat


    Site Area : 211795 m2
    Built up Area : 127534 m2
    Renewable Energy installation : Proposed 500 kwp capacity of installation
    GRIHA LD master plan rating : 5 Stars
    Year of completion : 2017
    The following strategies were adopted to reduce the building impact on the natural environment:
    ÞÞSustainable Site Planning:
    • Hard paving has been reduced and landscape is interspersed between the building clusters to reduce the
    increase in outdoor ambient air temperature.
    • Storm water management is planned to reduce peak run-off quantity.
    • Sustainable Urban Drainage system in the form of holding ponds has been implemented on the site.
    ÞÞWater management:
    • The project shall reduce its annual water demand by 41.86% through reuse of treated waste water.
    • All fixtures in the project will be low-flow fixtures.
    • 100% waste water is treated by DEWATS system installed on site.
    ÞÞEnergy Optimization:
    • The buildings are designed to be about 46% more energy efficient than GRIHA LD base case.
    • Street lighting is designed to be about 85% more energy efficient than the GRIHA LD base case.
    • Street lights shall be designed to meet minimum lighting requirements and shall be installed with automatic
    switches.
    ÞÞSolid waste management:
    • Bio-gas plant has been installed on site to treat all the organic waste generated and convert it into electricity.
    • The project shall convert all its organic kitchen waste into manure.
    • All waste from campus will be segregated and sent for recycling through authorized recyclers.
    ÞÞSustainable transport:
    • Site planning has been done to improve walkability in the campus through continuous and universally
    accessible footpaths.
    • E-rickshaws will be provided on site for intra-site movement.
    • Electric charging facilities will be provided for more than 10% of the total car and two wheeler parking slots.
    ÞÞSocial sustainability:
    • All construction workers will have clean drinking water, toilets and accommodation.
    • Campus has been designed to ensure universal accessibility.
    • The institute shall implement measures to increase environmental awareness in the campus.
