    The document describes the Indira Paryavaran Bhawan building project in New Delhi, which aims to be a net zero energy green building. Key features include an orientation and design that maximizes natural lighting and air flow, as well as energy efficient windows, lights, and HVAC systems. The building also incorporates various water conservation strategies and generates more solar energy than it uses, making it energy positive. The project achieves a 67% reduction in energy usage compared to benchmarks and received the top GRIHA and LEED certifications for its sustainable design.

    & Climate Change (Govt. of India)


    Indira Paryavaran Bhawan: Net zero energy green
    building
    CASE STUDY

    Summary
    Indira Paryavaran building is a project of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for
    construction of new office building at Aliganj, Jor Bagh Road, New Delhi. The basic design concept of the
    project is to make the net zero energy green building.

    Objective of Intervention
    The Building is planned to be a state of the art landmark building, with emphasis on conservation of
    natural areas and trees to reduce adverse environmental impact, provide adequate natural light, shaded
    landscaped areas to reduce ambient temperature, maximize energy saving system and minimize operation
    cost by adopting green building concepts, conservation and optimization of water requirement including
    reuse of water by recycling the waste water and also to make the building friendly to physically
    challenged.

    Type of Intervention
    Implementation of energy and water conversation measures to comply with GRIHA five-star certification
    and LEED Platinum rating

    Description of Intervention
    The energy conservation measures adopted are mentioned below:

     The IPB office building for the MoEF has been planned in two parallel blocks facing the north–
    south direction, with a large linear open court in the centre. The building blocks create a porous
    block form to optimize air movement throughout the site and the N–S orientation allows for
    optimum solar access and shading.
     Insulated Walls and EE double glass
     Operable windows in conditioned areas for utilizing the favourable outdoor conditions
     Direct line of sight to the outdoor environment to vision glazing for building occupants for more
    than 90 per cent of the occupied spaces
     EE T-5 and LED fixtures
     Pre-cooling of fresh air from toilet exhaust using heat recovery wheel in order to reduce load on
    chiller plant
     EE water-cooled chillers and double skin air handling units with variable frequency drives
     Chilled beam system for cooling
     Part condenser water heat rejection by geothermal mechanism. This will also help in water
    conservation in cooling towers for HVAC system
     Regenerative lifts
     Integrated building management system (IBMS) for optimizing energy consumption, performance
    monitoring, etc.

    Water conservation measures are adopted in the building like low discharge water fixtures and dual
    flushing cistern, low demand plants in landscaping, drip irrigation system for green areas, make up water
    tank for chiller plant, irrigation, and rain water harvesting system which leads to saving in fresh water
    requirement.

    Intangible or Tangible Benefit


     Overall 67 per cent reduction in energy consumption with reference to GRIHA benchmark of
    140kWh/sqm/year has been achieved
     The building is an energy positive building as the energy generated through 930 kWp of solar PV
    system installed at IPB is more than the energy requirement of the building.
     The building has also achieved LEED India Platinum Rating and GRIHA five-star rating.
