FUNCTIONAL CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA FOR GREEN

REQUIREMENTS TECHNOLOGY BUILDING
FEATURES
1.
A low rise green campus having
functional and flexible design with
integration of inside and outside based
on the principal of vastu.
3.
the centre 'Bramahsthal' is open to sky to
get enbough sunlight.
5.
the north east side has low rise and
maximum openings with high
performance glass
2.
the south west side of the camus is put
with a water tank with minimum
openngs , the orientation of the bulding
is north- south direction.
4.
all the possible sides have peripheral
roads and indirect access from them.
6.
the entire plot is divided into two parts
with corporate building placed on the
eastern side and the learning centre on
the western side.
FEATURES
1. 2.
The site plan enhances the drainage The barren land waas reforested with
streams on the western edge of the plot plantation around the periphery
turning it into a bio diversity parkand re
establishing the channel

3.
4.
More than 50% of the site is open
Underground storm drains maintain
softscape and thus provides evaporation
preconstruction watershead during
transpiration and shading
drainage channels

5. 6.
The roofscape include planted areas . The main central courtyard is plnted
with indegenious trees shrubs and grass .
FEATURES
1.
To link the indoor and outdoor there are
semi open decks , they are informal work
areas surrounded with shrubs , flower
beds and water bodies , they help to
control the micro climate.
3.
2.
glass cylinders in the main entrance cores
bring direct sunlight into the lobbies at
lower levels they are heavily planted
,thereby act as chimneys thus they serve
dual role of getting natural light and
exhausting the lower ground floor passively.
cut outs along the periphery bring fresh air
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability was the objective since
stage one and was embedded in every
design aspect.
Sustainable solutions were integrated
towards efficiency in :

DEVELOPMENT
The Suzlon project has a
Transportation Policy in place to
cater to about 20% of the
building occupants and
employees can avail the
company bus servicesbin
addition to the 200 executives
participate in the carpooling
program and 30 preferred
parking spaces have been
reserved for carpools.
Alternative Transportation has
been encouraged in this project
by providing 96 e-charging
points to
Various Water Treatment
Techniques have been used in
Suzlon One Earth project to
ensure general water quality. The
Rain water harvesting system
helps to capture and treat and
reuse the rain water on site.
The project has mitigated the
heat island effect by providing
90.99% roof with SRI compliant
materials.
The steep slope roof is provided
with high reflectance Indiana

The on site waste water
treatment is being done
through a Sewage
Treatment plant located at
basement to treat the
wastewater to tertiary
standards. This treated
water is used for Irrigation
completely by eliminating
the potable water demand
by 100%. The treated water
is also used for AC make up
for the water cooled

The Renewable Energy system to
generate on-site green power
consists of 18 Wind mills combined
with 243 Solar Panels and 5.69% of
the building’s energy is being
provided by on-site renewable
energy
Jet fans for parking ventilation: r The
connected load is brought down to
216 kW as opposed to 472 kW
expected in conventional ways. The
operation of fans is based on signals
received from CO sensors which
further reduces electrical
consumption
Task Lighting at Each Workstation/
Daylight Harvesting Design/ Exterior
LED Street Lights
Making maximum use of daylight
helps to save a significant amount of
energy. The 9-ft full height glazing
coupled with a narrow floor plate -
79 ft in general and 59 ft in block F
and G - provide tremendous
potential for daylight harvesting.
This potential has been fully utilized
by nonobtrusive placement of
enclosures like conference rooms
and the use of intelligent lighting
controls
ECO FRIENDLY
MATERIAL &
RESOURCES
To reduce impacts new
virgin materials, products
with high recycle content
are used, which measure to
about 13.26% of the total
value of thematerials in the
project.
The use of PPC cement for
non structural areas with
fly ash, use of Rerolled
reinforcement steel, Fly
Ash Bricks, High recycled
content carpets and
modular ceilings .
To reduce environmental
impact resulting from
transportation, around
80% of regional materials
(within a radius of 800 km)
are used in this project.
Rapidly renewable
materials like Tarkett
Bamboo flooring, Carpets,
Cotton/ Jute carpets were
used and amounted to
5.89% of the building
material cost.
HEALTHY
INDOOR
ENVIOURNMENT
CO2 Sensors have been
provided in densely occupied
spaces and workstation areas
to monitor and control CO2
levels inside the building.
• HVAC system is designed for
30% additional ventilation
rates required by ASHRAE
Standard.
ow emitting materials - To
reduce the quantity of indoor
air contaminants
Low Emitting Adhesives,
Sealants, Paints and Carpets
and composite wood
products have been used.
3M Mats are being used at
the entrances to prevent dust
entering into the building.
For Thermal Control openable
panels are provided in the
glazing for more than 50% of
building occupants.
More than 75 % of spaces
have been designed to get
daylight & more than 90% of
occupants have views to
outdoors. The workstations
are designed with low
partition for better external
view.
The basement is designed to
be an active part of the
structure
INNOVATIVE
DESIGN
ELEMNT
REEN DESIGN EDUCATION– Suzlon
has in place a ‘Green Design
Education’ policy through which
green design education in given to
the new recruits, green awareness
program to employees as per
training calendar
GREEN HOUSEKEEPING POLICY–
Suzlon with help of CBRE has in
place a ‘Green Housekeeping’ policy
through which a green housekeeping
products and process has been
implemented.
EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE IN
REGIONAL MATERIAL– The project
has achieved exemplary
performance by using regional
materials which measure to about
50% of the total value of the
materials in the project
CONSTRUCTION ON RENEWABLE
ENERGY- The project offsets more
than 50% annual energy
consumption used during
construction with renewable energy.
ZERO WASTE POLICY- Waste Policy
will guide people to redesign their
resource use system with the aim of
reducing waste to zero. It will also
help to make people understand that
resources such as paper,cardboard,
food, etc. should be used
responsibly in order to achieve a
green office environment.
CONSTRUCTION ON RENEWABLE
ENERGY -Suzlon made an attempt to
offset the environmental impact of
energy consumed by the facility,
since the Offsite Green Power
produced is more than 50% of
Project’s Energy Consumption

A strategy of
increasing the ratio of

ultimately resulted in
