The Green Building Goals Are Achieved With Innovation and Detiling
The Green Building Goals Are Achieved With Innovation and Detiling
ESTABLISHED IN 1974.
PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO HOUSE AN OFFICE BLOCK WITH
WORKSTATIONS AND A SMALL GUEST HOUSE ATTATCHED TO IT.
CONCERNED WITH EFFECTIVE UTIIZATION OF ENERGY, SUSTAINABLE
USES OF NATURAL RESOURCES, LARGE SCALE ADOPTATION OF
RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY.

>A 5 kw peak solar PV system has ben planned which will be integrated
with the roof skylights. The pv roof will provide daylighting and generate
electricity as well .
>Landscape maintaining and operation is being reduced when
compared to the design initial stages
9.Waste reduction:
>In addition to basic filtration and
aeration, it has been proposed that
certain impurity-absorbing plants be
planted in the vicinity of the drain,
improving its condition in terms of
sanitation and aesthetics. Investing in
such a long term, yet permanent solution is necessary if the building is
to eventually open towards the drain as well.

gathering. but more importantly it holds within it the rainwater
harvesting sump for the whole complex and serves to landscape &
