    CENTRE
    Rating for New
    Construction
    (NC) v 2.0 by
    the U.S. Green Building Council
    (USGBC) in November 2003
    The building is a perfect blend of Indias
    rich architectural splendor and technological
    innovations, incorporating traditional
    concepts into modern and contemporary
    architecture.
    Extensive energy simulation exercises
    were undertaken to orient the building in
    such a way that minimizes the heat ingress
    while allowing natural daylight to penetrate
    abundantly.
    The building incorporates several worldclass energy and environmentfriendly
    features, including solar PV systems, indoor
    air quality monitoring, a high efficiency
    HVAC system, a passive cooling system
    using wind towers, high performance glass,
    aesthetic roof gardens, rain water
    harvesting, root zone treatment system, etc.
    The extensive landscape is also home to
    varieties of trees, most of which are native
    and adaptive to local climatic conditions.
    The green building boasts a 50% saving in
    overall energy consumption, 35 % reduction
    in potable water consumption and usage of
    80% of recycled / recyclable material. Most
    importantly, the building has enabled the

    GREEN FEATURES AND SUSTAINABLE
    TECHNOLOGIES
    ENERGY EFFICIENCY
    State-of-the- art Building Management Systems (BMS)
    were installed for realtime monitoring of energy
    consumption.
    The use of aerated concrete blocks for facades reduces
    the load on air-conditioning by 15-20%.
    Double-glazed units with argon gas filling between the
    glass panes enhance the thermal properties.
    ZERO WATER DISCHARGE BUI LDING
    All of the wastewater, including grey and black water,
    generated in the building is treated biologically
    through a process called the Root Zone Treatment System.
    The outlet-treated water meets the Central Pollution
    Control Board (CPCB) norms. The treated water is
    used for landscaping
    MINIMUM DISTURBANCE TO THE SITE
    The building design was conceived to have minimum
    disturbance to the surrounding ecological
    environment.
    The disturbance to the site was limited within 40 feet
    from the building footprint during the construction
    phase.
    This has preserved the majority of the existing flora and
    fauna and natural microbiological organism
    around the building.
    Extensive erosion and sedimentation control measures
    to prevent topsoil erosion have als been taken
    at the site during construction.

    MATERIALS AND RESOURCES


    0% of the materials used in the building are
    sourced within 500 miles from the project site.
    Most of the construction material also uses postconsumer and industrial waste as a raw material
    during the manufacturing process.
    Fly-ash based bricks, glass, aluminum, and ceramic
    tiles, which contain consumer and industrial waste,
    are used in constructing the building to encourage
    the usage of recycled content.
    Office furniture is made of bagassebased composite
    wood.
    More than 50% of the construction waste is
    recycled within the building or sent to other sites and
    diverted from landfills.
    RENEW ABLE ENERGY
    20% of the building energy requirements are
    catered to by solar photovoltaics.
    The solar PV has an installed capacity of 23.5 kW.
    INDOOR AIR QUALITY
    Indoor air quality is continuously monitored and a
    minimum fresh air is pumped
    into the conditioned spaces at all times.
    Fresh air is also drawn into the building through
    wind towers.
    The use of low volatile organic compound (VOC)
    paints and coatings, adhesives, sealants, and carpets
    also helps to improve indoor air quality.

    COST AND BENEFITS


    CENTRE
    This was theBUSINESS
    first green building
    in the country. Hence,
    the incremental cost was 18% higher. However, green
    buildings coming up now are being delivered at an
    incremental cost of 6-8%. The initial incremental cost
    gets paid back in 3 to 4 years.
    Benefits achieved so far:
    Over 120,000 kWh of energy savings per year as
    compared to an ASHRAE 90.1 base case
    Potable water savings to tune of 20-30% vis--vis
    conventional building
    Excellent indoor air quality
    100% day lighting (Artificial lights are switched on just
    before dusk)
    Higher productivity of occupants
    MEASURABLE RESULTS
    Energy savings 55% reduction, with ASHRAE
    90.1 as the baseline 120,000 kWh / year
    Reduction in CO 2 emissions ~ 100 tons / year
