Climate change is one of the biggest crises facing the world today. Most of us are experiencing its
effects in multiple ways such as increased heat waves, distressed fresh water supplies, increased
frequency and intensity of urban floods and erratic weather patterns.

As governments discuss mitigation measures, businesses and individuals are doing their bit too.
As one of the largest contributors to climate change- 40% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions- the building and construction industry, has a huge opportunity and responsibility to
building a more sustainable planet.

At Oberoi Realty, we create living spaces with a lower impact on the environment by following
stringent, international, product guidelines. An example is the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification programme introduced by the non-profit US Green
Building Council (USGBC). It is a rating system for the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of green buildings that enables owners to be environmentally responsible as they use
resources efficiently.

So, what exactly is ‘green architecture’?

Most consumers might think of this as

a project that includes lots of green area, adopts solar
energy and rainwater harvesting techniques. However, green building solutions are more than
this. They cover a holistic range of measures from using construction materials with sustainable/
renewable components to planning for better pedestrian access or occupant wellness

Commerz II - A sustainable project in action

At Oberoi Realty, we make conscious efforts

towards sustainability in all our projects. To truly
understand the depth and scale of these practices, consider our elegant 30-storeyed commercial
tower, Commerz II, a destination of choice for top conglomerates. This building is a LEED Gold
Core & Shell development, certified by USGBC and is known for its exemplary usage of technology
along with various green and sustainability measures and practices. Here’s a quick look.

Energy Efficiency
The use of high reflective material on the roof, high performance glazing and efficient HVAC design
saves energy. . Efficient lighting design and fixtures help reduce lighting power density.

Water Efficiency

Commerz II has
been designed to reduce potable water by 20%, and reuse water in situ for 100%
of landscaping and irrigation. Efficient fixtures like low flow urinals, kitchen faucets and flush
water closets reduce potable water use by 40%*. All wastewater is innovatively treated and
reused within the site.

Resource Management

Along with efficient material waste management, Commerz II was designed with more than 40%
of the total building materials value manufactured and extracted from within 500 miles of the
project site. We use sustainably sourced materials and sustainable construction materials that
replace virgin components with recycled content.

Site & Environment

With a location close to public transport facilities, we encourage lesser private car use. Meanwhile,
electric vehicle charging points within the premises encourage more e-vehicle usage.

Occupant Health & Wellness

Keeping the health & wellness

of our occupants in mind, Commerz II uses only low emitting
adhesives, paints and Agrifiber products that improve indoor environmental quality. The building is
thoughtfully designed to maximise thermal comfort and natural daylight.

In a nutshell, green buildings are more than just curated landscapes. They represent a philosophy
that is backed by science and careful design . At Oberoi Realty, we’re committed to this thought.
