Indira Paryavaran Bhawan Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF)

Energy Efficient Design Features

Introduction

Indira Paryavaran Bhawan, the new office building for Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) sets is a radical change from a conventional building design.

The project team put special emphasis on strategies for reducing  energy demand by providing adequate natural light, shading,  landscape to reduce ambient temperature, and energy efficient active building systems. Several energy conservation measures were adopted to reduce the energy loads of the building and the remaining demand was met by producing energy from on-site installed high efficiency solar panels to achieve net zero criteria. Indira Paryavaran Bhawan uses 70% less energy compared a conventional building. The project adopted green building concepts including conservation and optimization of water by recyclingwaste water from the site.

Indira Paryavaran Bhawan is now India’s highest green rated building. The project has received GRIHA 5 Star and LEED Platinum. The building has already won awards such as the Adarsh/GRIHA of MNRE for exemplary demonstration of Integration of Renewable Energy Technologies.

Passive Design Strategies

• Orientation:  Building is north south oriented, with separate blocks connected through corridors and a huge central court yard. Orientation minimizes heat ingress. Optimal window to wall ratio.
• Landscaping:  More than 50% area outside the building is covered with plantation.Circulation roads and pathways are  soft paved to enable ground water recharge.
• Daylighting:  75% of building floor space is day lit, thus reducing dependence on artificial sources for lighting. Inner courtyard serves as a light well.
• Ventilation:  Central courtyard helps in air movement as natural ventilation happens due to stack effect. Windows and jaalis add to cross ventilation.
• Optimized Building Envelope – Window assembly (U-Value 0.049 W/m 2 K),VLT 0.59, SHGC 0.32
• uPVC windows with hermetically sealed double glazed using low heat transmittance index glass
• Rock wool insulation
• High efficiency glass
• Cool roofs: Use of high reflectance terrace tiles for heat ingress, high strength, hard wearing.
• AAC blocks with fly ash
• Fly ash based plaster & mortar

• Local stone flooring
• Bamboo jute composite doors, frames and flooring
• High efficiency glass, high VLT, low SHGC & Low U-value, optimized by appropriate shading
• Light shelves for diffused sunlight

Active Strategies

Lighting Design

• Energy efficient lighting system ( LPD = 5 W/m 2 ) , nearly 50% more efficient than Energy Conservation Building Code 2007 requirements ( LPD = 11 W/m 2 )  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.

Optimized Energy Systems / HVAC system

Chilled beam system/ VFD/ Screw Chillers

• 160 TR of air conditioning load of the building is met through Chilled beam system. Chilled beam are used from second to sixth floor. This reduces energy use by 50 % compared to a conventional system.
• HVAC load of the buildings is 40 m 2 /TR, about 50% more efficient than ECBC requirements (20 m 2 /TR)
• Chilled water is supplied at 16° C and return temperature is 20° C.
• Drain pans are provided with the chilled beams to drain out water droplets due to condensation during monsoon.
• Water cooled chillers, double skin air handling units with variable frequency drivers(VFD)
• Chilled beams save AHU/FCU fan power consumption by approximate 50 kW.
• VFDs provided in chilled water pumping system, cooling tower fans and AHUs.
• Fresh supply air is pre cooled from toilet exhaust air through sensible & latent heat energy recovery wheel.
• Control of HVAC equipment & monitoring of all systems through integrated building management system.
• Functional zoning to reduce air conditioning loads.
• Room temperature is maintained at 26 ±1 ° C

Examples of Climate responsive architecture in Indian cities

Nature is facing the brunt of human actions. The consequences of said actions have given rise to problems that affect the world of design either directly or indirectly. Climate change is one such issue. It is not a foreign concept as it is one of the greatest challenges faced by human society. Architects themselves have begun focusing on creating structures that have a lesser impact on the environment. Climate responsive architecture is one such design practice that functions in adherence to the climate of the location it is in. Its application in design reflects the weather conditions of the location the structure is built in and reduces its dependence on artificial energy.

India is home to a variety of climatic regions and has its own share of energy-efficient and climate responsive designs. The climate of India can be segregated into 6 climatic zones: Hot and Dry, Warm and Humid, Moderate, Cold and Sunny, Cold and Cloudy, and Composite. Based on the climatic zones, architecture and design elements have gone through various modifications to create comfortable spaces.

Here are a few interesting examples of climate-responsive architecture that is found in Indian cities.

1. Solar Passive Hostel, University of Jodhpur (Hot and Dry)

The structure was part of the research project undertaken by the Centre of Energy Studies, IIT Delhi. Designed by architect Vinod Gupta, the building was an attempt to test as well as exhibit methods that would provide thermal comfort in the hot and dry climate of Rajasthan. The building houses 14 double room suites as accommodation for married students. The suites are split between the first and ground floor, which is partially sunk into the ground to take advantage of the natural insulation of earth.

Stonemasonry, the local material was used for the walls as it helps balance out temperature variations. The roof was treated with small inverted terracotta pots to combat the summer heat gain. A wind tower that connected both floors supplied cool air to the units and helped aid ventilation by expelling hot air during the evenings and night. The design makes use of favorable orientation, massing, external finishes and elements such as deep sunshades to create a structure that not only conserves energy but also makes use of passive methods to the best of its ability.

2. Silent Valley, Kalasa (Warm and Humid)

Designed by architect K. Jaisim, the Silent Valley Resort is an eco-friendly holiday home that consists of several cottages that were constructed with a herbal theme. The resort fuses modern demands with ecological balance by creating a sustainable habitat with a minimum footprint. The cottages adopt circular plans as well as forms, which helps reduce solar gains from the building envelope and windows.

The usage of materials like solid mud blocks, timber, and Mangalore tiles as well as the position of the cottage i.e partially sunk into the ground further help in aiding energy efficiency. The resort merges with the natural landscape and adopts sustainable measures such as water harvesting, biomass, energy-intensive spaces, etc.

3. TERI SRC Building, Bangalore (Moderate)

The Energy and Resources Institute was designed by architect Sanjay Mohe. Set in a location with a moderate climate, the design depicts an interplay of the five elements of nature i.e. air, water, earth, sky, and fire (sun) with the built form to attain aural, thermal, and visual comfort. The simplest measure taken to tackle the climatic conditions was the orientation of the building, which is along the east-west axis.

While the building opens up towards the northern wall and takes advantage of glare-free light, the south walls allow the breeze to flow over the building. To minimize heat gain from the roof, insulation techniques that consisted of filler slabs and roof gardens were applied. The fenestrations and integration of atriums were designed after detailed studies to minimize the usage of artificial lighting in a day. The air chimneys help enhance the convection currents in the building. An efficient rainwater system also helps preserve water, which in turn is used for landscaping as well as in the toilets.

4. Degree College and Hill Council Complex, Leh (Cold and Sunny)

Designed by Arvind Kishan & Kunal Jain, the institution is built on a rectangular site that is along the north-south direction and is surrounded by snow-capped ranges on all sides. The individual structures are oriented in various directions and treated specifically based on their orientations. However, the buildings on the north side of the complex have thick walls to minimize heat loss and those on the south side maximize heating and daylight distribution.

The openings have been maximized to tap into natural light sources and the double glazing helps control loss of heat without condensation. Ventilation is achieved through a connective loop activated by buoyancy and it is also coupled with cross ventilation through the eastern-western fenestration. The usage of Trombe walls, glass, and insulation on the roof allows the building to attain internal thermal comfort based on the conditions outside.

5. Residence of Mohini Mullick, Nainital (Cold and Cloudy)

The residence is an example of traditional hill architecture and maximizes solar energy to meet its operational needs. The structure is load-bearing in nature and has a timber-framed roof. While the compact shape of the cottage reduces heat loss, the living spaces on the south maximize solar gain. The walls are made of thick random rubble. The roof system is clad with local stone and insulated with rock wool.

6. Monama House, Hyderabad (Composite)

The underlying ideology behind the design was to generate minimum environmental impact. Due to the high solar radiation and ambient temperature in the summer, the windows on the west wall were made smaller or replaced with other solutions. The openings are oriented specifically to attain continuous ventilation after careful consideration of pressure differences and wind direction.

The open plan allows full movement of air throughout with little to no internal resistance. Evaporative cooling is attained with a system that consists of a water pond and a fan. The structure also reduces energy load whenever possible, and reverts to renewable sources to attain energy efficiency.

With a notebook and pen in her bag and an arsenal of questions in her mind, Arathi Biju has always had a keen interest in telling a story. Currently pursuing her degree in architecture, she has always been a strong advocate of expression be it through art, architecture or words.

Sustainable construction in India by building a greener future

Deepak Sethi, director, projects, Reach Group highlights importance of sustainable construction.

India, with its rapid urbanisation and growing population, is undergoing a critical transformation in its construction sector. The country has made significant strides in recent years, with a growing emphasis on eco-friendly building practices.

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has been instrumental in promoting sustainable building standards and certifying green projects. India boasts the world’s largest green building footprint, with over 9 billion square feet of green-certified buildings. This surge reflects a growing awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of sustainable construction.

At the core of sustainable construction lies the integration of eco-friendly materials. Recycled materials, such as fly ash, industrial waste, and recycled concrete, are increasingly replacing traditional building components. For instance, the use of fly ash in cement production can reduce carbon emissions by up to 88%. Additionally, bio-based materials like bamboo, which offer excellent insulation and durability, are gaining popularity.

Energy efficiency is a paramount concern in the Indian context. Incorporating solar panels, advanced insulation, and energy-efficient appliances has become standard practice in sustainable buildings. A study by the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) found that green buildings can achieve up to 30% energy savings compared to conventional buildings.

Green roofs, which provide insulation, improve air quality, and manage stormwater, are gaining traction in Indian cities. These vegetated rooftops contribute to urban cooling, reducing the heat island effect. Studies have shown that green roofs can reduce energy consumption by up to 15%.

While India has made significant progress, challenges such as higher initial costs and a lack of skilled labour persist. However, with increasing government support, technological advancements, and growing consumer awareness, the future of sustainable construction in India appears promising.

As a development company, we are committed to embracing sustainable practices and creating eco-friendly spaces. By incorporating sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies, and green building principles into our projects, we aim to contribute to a greener and more sustainable India.

Building materials and technologies, and building practices have evolved through ages. The following points require attention, regarding the use of modern building materials: energy consumed in the manufacturing processes, problems of long distance transportation, natural resources and raw materials consumed, recycling and safe disposal, impact on environment, and long-term sustainability. Thus the issues related to energy expenditure, recycling, biodegradable, environmental and sustainability with respect to future demand need to be addressed during the manufacture and use of any new building material by the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources energy, water, and materials while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better site, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal i.e. the complete building life cycle for achieving sustainable building development or green building development. The goal of the "green building" project is to reduce the impact of construction on the environment by sustainable building and construction of buildings using methods and materials that are resource efficient and will not compromise the health of the environment or the associated health and well-being of the building's occupants, construction workers, the general public, or future generations. Sustainable building involves the consideration of many issues, including land use, site impacts, indoor environment, energy and water use, solid waste, and lifecycle impacts of building materials. Energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions will therefore continue to rise unless actions to direct the construction industry towards sustainable consumption and production are taken urgently.

Today we all have heard the term " Green Building " more and more often just because the Green Movement is getting more and more popular with each passing year. A green building is the one which uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building. The " built " environment has a vast impact on the natural environment, human health, and the economy. By adopting green building strategies, we can maximize both economic and environmental performance. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. In the year 2001, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), formed by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is continuously striving towards wider adoption of green building concepts in our country. It has licensed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Standard from the U.S. Green Building Council and at present certifies the LEED-New Construction and LEED-Core and Shell buildings in India. The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) was launched by the Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) as a guide for energy efficiency standards. The Green Building movement spearheaded by CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre in Hyderabad since 2001 has come a long way. With a meagre green building footprint of 20,000 sq.ft in 2003, today over 400 million sq.ft have been rated by IGBC. India ranks third among the top ten countries for LEED and in 2016, nearly 650 projects in India earned LEED certification. According to a recent USGBC survey, 87 percent of Indian professionals anticipate that use of LEED in India increasing overall, with nine out of ten industry senior executives in India anticipating that their LEED related work will increase over the next several years. The effective use of the natural resources is the need of present days. The Indian green building movement is surging ahead and well poised to reach greater heights, in the years to come.

Green building rating systems (GBRS) result in energy-efficient and environment-friendly buildings. They not only preventpollution and resource wastage during construction ; but also uphold high indoor air quality, energy and water efficiencies throughout the building life-cycle. The economic growth of Indian cities has led to hasty construction activities causing resource challenges, air pollution and congestion. The aim of the paper is to find the greenest building in the National Capital Region (NCR) ,which can be a benchmark building for the new buildings in the region. The paper presents the case study of two greenest buildings in the NCR from the two different GBRS; and also compare their attributes and rating systems. The paper inferscritical energy efficiency, air quality and water efficiency attributes of these benchmark buildings much needed in rapidly growing cities like NCR.

The concept of green building has created an immense importance in a developing country like INDIA. The theory implies of minimizing the wastage and the cost of construction. Green Building encompasses a wide range of design practices, building systems integration, product specification, and construction techniques Green building approach is consistent with the mission of most affordable housing developers, and the most community development corporation mission statements which include language about ensuring that low income people have access to safe, decent and affordable housing. The concept of green buildings is not as emerging as we think it is. The Evolution of housing started by utilizing nature and natural resources like trees and caves as shelter from the severity of natural elements like sun, rain, wind, etc. Based on such complex experiences, our Vedic philosophy evolved certain methods to maximize the use of Panch Mahabhuta or the 5 basic elements of nature, i.e., Jal (w...

Change in climate, caused by the release of greenhouse effect causing gases (primarily carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere, has been recognized as one of the greatest threats of the 21st century. Share of the global energy consumption in India and China has also been on the rise due to heavy industrialization, urbanization, population explosion, and intensive growth of IT. Buildings are the prime energy consumers in modern cities accounting upto 40 to 45% energy consumption. Their consumption can be largely confined through improving efficiency, which is an effective means to lessen greenhouse gas emissions and slow down depletion of fossil fuels. There is a heavy (over 50%) saving potential in the building sector and thus it is considered as a potential sector to meet the challenges of global energy demand and climate change. Along with the advent of energy efficient measures, more effective means are needed to induce or compel greater efforts, especially to the signatories of the Kyoto Protocol. This technical paper highlights the importance of sustainable construction, discusses role of energy efficiency in green buildings in Indian context to reduce the energy consumption and environmental degradation through Green House Gas emission (GHG). Also it points out to the benefits of green construction as well as the incentives from govt. and municipal bodies for GRIHA certified green building.

Environmental pollution has reached a stage wherein it cannot be left alone to the natural environment to heal by itself. Human interventions have become absolutely necessary to control environmental pollution and reduce the impact of damage to the environment. One large contributor to environmental pollution is the construction industry. The improper use of natural resources in construction on buildings, the energy consumed and the dispose of the salvage largely impacts the environment. There is a huge concern to reduce the impact of buildings on the environment. This concerns for the environment have in fact led to the thought process of construction of green buildings which minimize the impact of the buildings on the environment. In order to minimize the environmental impact of the buildings it is high time to follow guidelines and necessary steps for undertaking the task of construction of green buildings. The researchers in this paper talks about the requirement of green building constructions in India, and tries to find out the drivers which create a demand for purchase of green buildings.
