Question all Assumptions

Promote interaction between design consultants


Building envelope performance as part of the architects contract

Day lighting criteria as part of architects contract

Performance criteria for HVAC consultant

Positive Disruption
Building envelope heat load not to exceed 1.0 W/ Sqft More than 75% of the office area to be naturally lit

as per LEED standards

Breaking the barrier.. > 550 Sqft per TR of AC area < 0.4 W/ Sqft for lighting design < 0.5 kW/TR for chiller plant design < 3.5 W/ Sqft for electrical design

>200% improvement in overall energy efficiency of new buildings

Water Conservation: Mysore Case Study


Initiatives in Mysore campus:
Per capita fresh water consumption in Mysore campus
12.0 10.6 10.0

Reduction of 35%

Recycled water used for flushing in 2250 hostel rooms saving 2.5 lakh litres of fresh water everyday Flow restrictors installed in showers and taps in 10,000 hostel rooms saving 4 lakh litres of fresh water everyday Water leakage arresting and more efficient housekeeping practices in hostels saving about 3 lakh litres every day Mysore campus sources about 60% of its daily fresh water requirements from these dug wells

100% Water Sustainability by Rain Water Harvesting


Rain water harvesting 8 reservoirs built in Mysore total capacity 38 Million litres 7 reservoirs built in Mangalore total capacity 35 Million litres

3 reservoirs built in Pune potential capacity of 90 Million litres


4 reservoirs built in Hyderabad potential capacity of 130 Million litres

The amount of rain water sequestered in our Indian campuses is estimated at more than 4.3 Billion litres every year; which is about 123% of our annual water consumption

Goals in Water efficiency


Current Consumption Per capita consumption for SDB Campus per capita water consumption 45 lts/day 65-70 lts/day New design standard 30 lts/day 45 lts/day

Water efficient fixtures:


Taps Shower heads Water Urinals EWCs <4 lts/min 6 lts/min 0.5 lts/flush 6/3 lts/flush (dual flush)

27

Biogas plant in Mysore campus Recycling food waste

Carbon footprint reduction of nearly 200 tons/year Biogas plants being built in all other campuses as well Goal - 100% recycling of organic waste within the campuses
Biogas plant in Mysore campus

28

Chemical Reduction Initiative


Standardized the usage of housekeeping chemicals in all campuses resulted in reduction of 75% in the number of chemicals used Chemical fertilizers used in landscaping has been replaced with organic manure

We will be using only Green seal chemicals for housekeeping going forward
We are in process of replacing all pesticides with organic substitutes Chemical free water treatment being tested and deployed for air conditioning water treatment

29

Experiences / Conclusions

Set unreasonable targets Question everything! Efficient buildings do not cost more, Measure and Monitor Seeing is believing!
but need a little effort
