LOCATION

SITE ENTRANCE : the site has an access from secondary road which
subdues the traffic load to and from the campus the circular form carves a
arc route by tress and shrubs , further which gets divided towards parking
such as arrangement ensures security and privacy.

MAIN GATE
 ENTRANCE

PARKING : The parking area is close to the entrance yet placed on oblique
axis to minimize visibility the vista around the entrance reduces the impact
of the mechanical vehicles making the site more alive and green.

WIND TOWER : Wind towers

are generally a traditional technique to maintain the circulation of natural
air inside the building. This is basically, a tall tower with an opening at the
top to catch prevailing winds and bring it down to cool the interior of the
building. As a result, this is one of the best strategies for heat
management. In this building wind tower’s role is to pass the pre-cooled
air directly to the Air Handling Unit, so that the mechanism burden of
AHU can be controlled.
RAIN WATER HARVESTING POND : The pond itself acts as a surface
water reservoir, helps to recharge groundwater and reduce the salinity
levels.

JAALI WALLS : Jaali walls act

us a screen wall also provides
sufficient amount of natural
ventilation and daylight inside the building. This also performs aesthetically in the building’s
exterior. Huge trees are planting near the jaali wall to block and prevent the heat from direct
sunlight. 90% of daylight is using efficiently inside the building which results in the
reduction of electricity usage during day times.

Measures for removal of TSS and TP, Specifications

Development on the CII site will reduce the permeability of the land, increase in runoff and
reduce the time in which runoff is concentrated. Resulting in erosion, increased contaminated
storm water runoff from roads, parking lots, and roof drains. Thus increasing pollution and
sediments in the storm water runoff from the sit,
choking storm water channels.
Thus measures need be taken on site to accomplish the following
1. decreasing the erosive potential of increased runoff volumes and velocities associated with
development induced changes in hydrology. Retarding storm water runoff via various water
impoundment techniques so that peak runoff for frequent storms (10 year or less recurrence
probability) will be no greater after
development than before.
2. removing suspended solids and associated pollutants entrained in runoff that result from
activities occurring during and after development: Removal of 80 percent of total suspended
solids (TSS) is assured to control heavy metals, phosphorus, and other pollutants.
3. retain hydrological conditions to closely resemble those of the pre disturbance condition.
EPA Standards
MEASURES FOR REMOVAL OF TSS AND TP, SPECIFICATIONS
Measures proposed for CII, Hyderabad and based on EPA Standards to control runoff
include:

DEMAND WHILE INCREASING THE LOCAL AQUIFER RECHARGE.
REQUIREMENTS : Reduce potable water use for building sewage conveyance by 50%
through the use of water-conserving fixtures (water closets, urinals) or non-potable water
(captured rainwater, recycled greywater, and on-site or municipally treated wastewater).
[OPTION-1].
EXPLANATION: In the building, the wastewater generation minimized by the utilization of
low-flow fixtures, automatic controls and sensors. Also it can be attempted to utilize the
rainwater which is harvested , greywater from washings such as those from sinks, showers
etc, for flushing toilets. The generated wastewater can be treated on site to minimize the load
on the municipal efficient treatment system which, in turn can be recycled for application in
irrigation or for flushing. The building has a permanent occupancy of 85 with the male-
female ratio of 3:1. The fixtures and their flow rates to be used in the toilets are given in

Root zone treatment system for the wastewater treatment

It is proposed to use a rootzone systems for the treatment of Wastewater from bathrooms,
toilets and kitchens for a daily occupancy of 85. This would result in daily generation of 3.5kl
of Wastewater. The rootzone method is based on the subsurface flow of wastewater. It uses
soil as the filtration medium for treating impurities such as heavy metals, phosphates nitrates
in the wastewater, This is a more efficient system due to the presence of large colonies of
microorganisms as the reed beds create the favourable conditions for the wide variety of
strains of microorganisms both the aerobic and anaerobic conditions, The proposed
wastewater treatment with an area of 250 sq.m is placed away from the building in the green
area Drawing performance of the similar system for treatment of wastewater from building is
shown below.
CONCLUSION : as per data provided the building can earn the points of these credits as the

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
the CII – Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre (CII GBC), a division
of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Located in Hyderabad, the
CII is India’s premier developmental institution, offering advisory
services to the industry on environmental aspects and working in the
 areas of Green Buildings, Energy Efficiency, Water Management,
Environment Management, Renewable Energy, Green Business
Incubation and Climate Change activities. The LEED Platinum for
New Construction (NC) v 2.0 certified CII – Godrej GBC building is
also home to India’s first and largest built greenroof (2003).
represents a successful model of public-private partnership between the
Government of Andhra Pradesh [Present CII GBC is in Telangana], the
Pirojsha Godrej Foundation and the CII, with technical support from
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
CII-Sohrabji Godrej announced itself as a ‘Net-Zero Energy’
Platinum-rated building, with the goal of improving year after year;
making it a great study model due to its design philosophies, use (and
re-use) of materials as well as energy efficiency techniques.
The

Green Business Centre earned a LEED rating of 56 credits and became

certified LEED Platinum for New Construction (NC) v 2.0 back in 2003 –
the first in the country, and the first outside of the United Sates. Among
many other features, vegetated roofs coat 55-60% of the building’s roofs,
and the remainder of the roof is covered by solar panels with a 24 KW
capacity. The 100-120 units of power generated every day is fed into the
grid, thus satisfying roughly 20% of the total energy cost of the building.
 The property produces a 50% saving in overall energy consumption,
35% reduction in potable water consumption and usage of 80% of
recycled material. And most importantly – CII-Sohrabji Godrej sparked
the widespread green building movement in India. In 2000, the Indian
Green Building Council (IGBC) – part of CII-Godrej Green Business
Centre – and created its own LEED ® Green Building Standard by fine-
tuning the ratings to reflect Indian conditions and priorities .

Date : 07-09-2023
Guided by : Ms. Rekha Mam

NARRATIVE :
 CII – CONFERDERATION OF INDIAN INDUSTRY.
 CII GBC was construction completed in 2004 july.
 Got trained by USGBC for green building initiatives and practices.
 Certified as LEED PLATINUM rated building by USGBC.
 Building has solar panel systems which generates 20kW capacity.
 Solar power system it is connected to power grid.
 CII GBC has a number of 100 members of staff working here.
 Total land area is 5 acres in which 3 acres are undisturbed for preservation of
ecosystem and environmental conditions.
 During and after construction they have kept the efforts for more vegetation in site.
Vegetation enhances the microclimate.
 They have good ecosystem for 25+ types of butterflies and 30+ types of birds that
have been visiting the site.
 Site has been maintaining good biodiversity even it is in urban region.
 Heat island effect is also reduced by the help of vegetation in the site.
 In parking area the heat island effect is reduced by providing tree shade.
 In roof area the heat island effect is reduced by usage of roof garden, High SRI paints.
 In CII GBC as roof are covered by most of solar panels so high SRI paints are used on
roof area where solar panels are present.
 And roof gardens are also provided. SRI Paints reflect heat and doesn’t allow the heat
to pass through roofs.
 The building is in circular shape because of high heat transfer from both south and
west direction.
 Central courtyards, pocket of opening spaces allowing daylight and ventilation into
indoors.

 COURTYARDS
 North east direction
receives less heat as per energy simulation performed for CII GBC before
construction.
 In terms of energy, heat energy get transferred from roofs, walls, windows. Where
window glasses radiates heat
 As we are in tropical country where south and west receive more heat so these places
contain less glass openings provided.
 So North light is used has low glare 17 degree slope has taken to match the latitude of
Hyderabad where it pass great amount of daylighting .Most of the time day lighting is
used.
 Double glazed glass is used as they have inert gas in them which has low U value as
they reduce heat transfer and radiation.
 Aerocon bricks which are fly ash bricks used in the construction. They contain air
pores which reduces heat transfer.
 Fly ash brick is good sustainable building material. Before in past time only 17% of
fly ash is used for making blocks and now nearly 70% of fly ash is recyclable.

FLY ASH BRICKS

 GLASS OPENINGS THAT ALLOWS NORTH LIGHT

 Water cooled chillers are used in CII GBC

 Wind towers are passive system which naturally cools the building.
 Lighting used here are LED systems Before CFL are used.

MINIATURE MODEL

WIND TOWER
 Refrigerant that is used has minimal effects on environment, has no impact on ozone
layer.
 RECHARGE – 8 lakh litre pond is present , site has collecting pits and natural drains
where they are inter linked to rain water harvesting pond.
 REDUCE- water fixtures need to be efficient here in male washrooms waterless
urinals are used these water less urinals contains blue seal liquid which has high g
value. It pulls the wate to th drain and doesn’t release any bad smells. Need to get
change it for every 5-6 months, and water fixtures which are used here are low-flow
fixtures.
 In conventional use where there are 3/6 fixtures used but here 2/4 fixtures are used jut
by usage of low flow fixtures in green building a person water consumption gets
highly reduced upto 12-15 litres per day. Taps also has aerators fixed for low flow.
 RECYCLE- Biologically wastewater treatment methods are used where treated water
is used for gardening purposes.
 LOW VOC paints are used
 Fire hydrant system is used for fire fighting purposes in this building.
 In terms of water conservation native plants are used they use less water 1000+
species are planted.
 In terms of material usage RECYCLE- reduce the use of virgin materials ,use
materials like fly ash bricks , REUSE – salvaged materials [ tiles, furniture ],
REGIONAL – they are locally available materials, good availability, less
transportation cost.

WATER LESS URINAL

SALVAGED FURNITURE
 BAGASSE Wood is sugarcane based wood it is not pure wood, it is composite wood
material and it is rapidly renewable material.
 Vertical gardening has patches of perlite based soil and cocopit which has high
mineral content for plant growth they act as vertical curtains which act as sound
barriers and reduce heat transfer.
 Soil erosion is controlled by grid pavement system. They have these grip pavment
systems throughout the lawn area.

VERTICAL GARDENING
GRID PAVEMENT SYSTEM
 in conventional usage we see STP but
here the waste water is treated in a
biological method which is called phytoremediation
 use of plants for treatment they use specific wetland plants which leaves oxygen from
roots.
 From septic tanks where water is free from sediments at filtration pond where it has
aggregates and passes through the roots of plants so it will be free from micro
organisms then it is passes to polishing pond then go to underground sump.
 Water is passed from pit by pit by gravitational force.
 No power required like for conventional STP.
 Contains butterfly garden it is active as they are nectar and host trees present in the
site
  Swales are the natural drains where the water get collected and sent to water
harvesting pit.
 In pond aeration occurs by fountains which prevents the formation of algae.
 In wind tower Aerocon bricks are used as they have good thermal resistance.
 3-5 degrees of temperature can be dropped by wind tower .
 Fresh air is taken from outside and the air is cooled and it is sent into the building.
 Pavement systems used here are porous concrete pavers.
 Drains are available outdoors they connect directly to pit
