 WHAT IS LEED?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an
internationally recognized green building certification
system, providing third-party verification that a building or
community was designed and built using strategies aimed
at improving performance across all the metrics that matter
most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions
reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and
stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

 WHAT IS LEED?
LEED provides a point system to score green building design
and construction. The system is categorized in five basic
areas: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and
Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, and Indoor
Environmental Quality. Buildings are awarded points based
on the extent various sustainable strategies are achieved.
The more points awarded the higher the level of
certification achieved from Certified, Silver, Gold, to
Platinum.

large size Luxury Hotels.
• Usage of Solar Thermal system for hot water & low pressure steam
application.
• Usage of non-ozone depleting gases for refrigeration.
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, Thermal
system, Water management system & Building Management System
underwent retro-commissioning to enhance performance efficiencies.

7
 SUSTAINABLE SITE DEVELOPMENT
• 87% of associates travel by either public transport or use pooled
vehicles.
• The hotel’s rain water harvesting capacity, is 30% of the peak rainfall.
This helps in reducing water demand & run-off.
• Steps have been taken to protect the ecological stability of the
immediate surroundings & landscape.
• The building consciously promotes cultivation of native plants (covering
more than 25% of building area).
• Over 75% of roof area is covered with a special paint that has a high
Solar Reflective Index, thereby reducing the cooling demand.
• Exterior hardscape is maintained without use of chemicals.

8
 INDOOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY
• Increased treated fresh air infusion for higher human productivity and
better health.
• Enhanced occupant thermal comfort.
• Green Seal certified Housekeeping chemicals and equipment.
• Mechanical means of elimination of rodents and use of eco-responsible
pesticides.

 WATER EFFICIENCY

• Sensor operated & waterless urinals, dual flush Water Closets have reduced the
water consumption by 33% against USGBC standards.
• Only treated recycled water is used for landscape, cooling tower & miscellaneous
cleaning resulting in further reduction of water consumption.
• Excess treated recycled water is given to Government Bodies for irrigation of
landscapes, gardens & forests.
• Reduced water demand in Cooling Tower through automation

 WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES

The company has installed water meters to track water consumption.

Pressure reducing valves have been introduced in lines, which have low pressure
requirements.
Flow restrictors/aerators are introduced at all guest rooms (in wash basins & shower
fittings).
W/Cs cisterns, with dual flushing arrangement is used in place of conventional flush
valves.
Treated effluent discharged from ETP is utilised for horticultural purposes and cooling
towers.

 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

• Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) system in ITC Maurya is backed by some state-of-the-art
innovative techniques & technologies.
• At the time, when the hotel was introduced to RWH system at an investment of about Rs.
20 lakh, its seven bore wells were drawing water from 85 to 90 feet underground. In little
less than two years, the water table has witnessed drastic recharge in the area around the
hotel & the bore wells today have to draw water up to only 35 - 40 feet under the ground.
• Apart from recharging the water table, it has also provided critical irrigation surrounding
areas.
• At the same time, the hotel has also reduced its dependency on bore wells, by reducing
its overall water consumption

 INITIATIVES

• ITC Maurya consumed an average of 1300 kilolitres of water, per day some ten years ago.
The average consumption was down to 800 kilolitres until a couple of years ago.

• Today, the hotel consumes 625 kilolitres of water on an average & is striving to bring the
consumption level down to an ambitious 450 kilolitres of water per day.

• There was a time when the chillers, one of the major consumption areas in the hotel, used
to consume 300 kilolitres of water, which has now been brought down to 150 kilolitres.

 INITIATIVES

ŚūnyAqua tends to enhance the wellness quotient

of drinking water at ITC’s hotels whilst ensuring
a planet positive experience; with the sourcing and
bottling taking place within the premises of each
ITC luxury hotel.

At ITC Maurya, the rooms systems(AC, light, bill view, TV) are
configured through IPAD. Guest have a choice to opt the ecofriendly
settings for lights which ensure minimum energy consumption
