INTRODUCTON
• INDIRA PARYAWARAN BHAVAN, THE FIRST NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING IN INDIA IS A STATE-
OF-THE-ART LANDMARK IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY. IT IS CONSTRUCTED BY CENTRAL
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT (CPWD) TO HOST THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND
FORESTS OFFICES.
• THIS IS AN ONSITE NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING.
• ANNUAL DEMAND ESTIMATED : 14 LAKH UNITS (KWH) i.e 1.4 MILLION UNITS
• ANNUAL GENERATION : 13 LAKH i.e 1.4 MILLION UNITS (KWH)

ENERGY CONSERVATION
I. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN (VENTILATION, COUTRYARD).
II. ORIENTATION.
III. ENVELOPE INSULATION.
IV. TREES PLANTATION.
V. ENERGY EFFICIENT CHILLED BEAM SYSTEM FOR A.C.
VI. REGENERATIVE LIFTS
VII. GEOTHERMAL HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM TO REDUCE LOAD ON HVAC SYSTEM
VIII. THIN CLIENT SYSTEM

ENERGY CONSERVATION

I. GEO THERMAL HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM:

• THE SYSTEM WITH VERTICAL CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM

• IT HAS 32 MM DIA. HDPE U LOOPS, 180 IN NO. AND 80 M DEEP EACH.
• RESULTED INTO REDUCTION OF 160 TR LOAD ON COOLING TOWER AND CONSEQUENT.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
I. BUILDING ORIENTATION IN E-W DIRECTION AND SEPERATION OF VARIOUS BLOCKS WITH CONNECTING
CORRIDORS AND CENTRAL COURTYARD.
II. BUILDING ENVELOPE DESIGNED TO ENSURE DAYLIGHT IN 75% OCCUPIED AREAS.
III. PLANTATION AND GRASSING IN MORE THAN 50% AREA OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
IV. GRASS PAVERS IN CIRCULATION AREAS.
V. TERRACE GARDEN.
VI. ENERGY EFFICIENT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND LIGHTING.
VII. ENERGY EFFICIENCY THROUGH CONVERSION OF BREAKING ENERGY INTO ELECTRICITY IN THE LIFTS.
VIII. CHILLERS AND AHU’S WITH VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFDs) HEAT RECOVERY WHEELS AND THERMOSTAT
CONTROLS FOR HVAC.
IX. LED LIGHTS AND OCCUPANCY AND LUX LEVEL SENSORS, etc.

ENERGY GENERATION
I. SOLAR PV PANELS
1. MONO CRYSTALLINE SOLAR PANELS OF 20% EFFECIENCY.
2. ROOFTOP COVERED ARE 4600 SQM AGAINST 6000 SQM.
3. CENTRAL COURTYARD AREA ABOUT 2000 SQM
4. CANTILEVER OF 6M ON ROOFTOP AND 4TH FLOOR ON SOUTHERN SIDE.
5. TOTAL AVAIBILITY OF AREA FOR SOLAR PANELS @ 6000 SQM WHICH WAS GENERATING 1.4
MILLION UNITS.
6. TOTAL ENERGY REQUIREMENT OF ENERGY WAS ESTIMATED AS 15 LAKH UNJTS (1.5 MILLION)
7. DEMAND OF 0.1 MILLION UNITS WAS REDUCED BY ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES.

INDIRA PARYAVARAN BHAVAN
CONCLUSION
I. INDIRA PARYAVARN BHAWAN FIRST GOVT. BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY ACHIEVED THE
LANDMARK OF NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING WHICH HAS AN ANNUAL ENERGY
CONSUMPTION OF 14.21 LAKH KWH MET WITH EQUIVALENT ANNUAL ENERGY
GENERATION OF 14.3 LAKH KWH FROM SOLAR BIPV INSTALLED ON-SITE AND ONE OF THE
VERY FEW FULL-FLEDGED MULTIFUNCTIONAL OFFICE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD TO DO SO
ON A TIGHT URBAN SITE.
II. BEING THE HIGHEST GREEN-RATED BUILDING IN THE COUNTRY, THE PROJECT SERVES AS A
SHINING EXAMPLE OF HIGH PERFORMING GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
