Why did these buildings go green?

Shift from Green Image to benefits Tangible benefits
Energy savings : 30-50% Water savings : 20-30%

Benefits Experienced in LEED Rated Buildings

What did LEED Buildings do differently in India?

Changed the way we look at Buildings Few Examples
Glass and Glazing Efficient Air-conditioning Efficient Wall Indoor Ambience
CII-Godrej GBC

The way we look at buildings todayGlass and Glazing

All Double Glazed glass is not high performance Glass

Before LEED
Extent of glazing in the facade U value (W/sq.m/Deg K) (Double Glazed) Shading Co-efficient (Double Glazed) 60 to 90% 3.0 4.0

After LEED
< 50 % 1.8-2.2

0.4 0.5

0.20-0.25

Before LEED
Recycled content Resource Reuse Negative connotation Acceptability very poor

The way we look at buildings todayWater Efficiency

Before LEED
Water Efficiency 1)Less Importance 2)Perceived as uneconomical Unheard

After LEED

After LEED
Credit points key driver Negligible initial cost Introduced and manufactured locally. 50% fall in price

Specified in tenders Architects have found innovative ways for its use. Eg., Used interior furniture Minimum usage of virgin wood

Waterless Urinals

Green Building - Cost

Incremental cost depends on initial design Typical culture
Cost over run

Myth # 2 Green Buildings Take More Time

Reality
Design parameters are frozen at one go Only little additional effort

Green Building rating Vulnerable Scapegoat Need to fix baseline cost & evaluate

Myth # 3 Green Buildings require Air-Conditioning

Reality
Non air-conditioned building can also be a Green Building Suited for Indian buildings
Eg., IGP Office at Gulbarga
Wind Tower cooling Gold rated
