SUZLON ONE EARTH
 WHY "ONE EARTH"
• Highlight unique
existence of eco
system
• Beliefs that coexistence
and responsible usage
of natural resources are
the only way to
achieve sustainability
The design process started with a premise of
creating a central gathering space, or
It is a work place that will create cultural and Brahmasthan, with the sky as its ceiling! There is

Glass Cylinders and the vegetation that flows
from these elements, up through the cylinders
into the main circulation nodes of the building
DESIGN APPROACH
It has become the need of the hour
for global corporations to have
sensitively designed buildings which
reflect their values, concerns for
environment and the image of the
new age. It calls for designing
buildings in India with sensitivity
towards climate that is both energy
efficient and draws vernacular
solutions.

Suzlon One Earth derives

its inspiration from large
Indian historical
campuses like Fatehpur
Sikri and the Meenakshi
Temple complex in
Madurai. This took the
shape of a Land Scraper,
opposing the idea of a
Skyscraper! It is a counter
blast to “the glass box.

 The first project in India to implement Water Cooled Variable VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume)
system manufactured by Diakin, Japan, for which the power consumption is as low as 0.5 k W/TR.
 This system reduced the AC load by 40%, as compared to any other commercial building’s
cooling energy used in this scale.
 The short occupancy zones like lift lobbies, learning center lobbies, cafeteria, gymnasium etc are
air conditioned by the indirect evaporative cooling system.
 The HVAC system is designed to have 30% higher ventilation rates as compared to the ASHRAE
standards.
 Additionally, heat recovery/exchanger mechanisms are employed to minimize energy
consumption.
• Shading:100% shading by external louvers on the first and second floor.
