LIVING BUILDINGS

BY SHREENIDHI
”Environmentally sound structure as one that generates all of
its own energy with renewable nontoxic resources, captures
and treats all of its water, and operates efficiently and for
maximum beauty.”.

 WASTE WATER TREATMENT STEPS BY ECO-MACHINE

1
• Solid Settlement Tank

2
• Equalization Tank

3
• Anoxic Tanks

4
• Constructed Wetland

5
• Aerated Lagoons

6
• Recirculating Sand Filter

7
• Dispersal Fields
 ZERO ENERGY
BUILDING
The net amount of energy consumed by the building is roughly
equal to the net renewable energy generated by the building
annually.
MOTTO :

• To reduce the carbon emissions

• To reduce the dependence on fossil fuels
• Moving towards sustainable building materials.
• Harness the renewable resources like solar, wind power.
• Innovation in HVAC and lighting technologies
• Moving towards Energy Plus buildings.
SOLAR PANELS

• 200 photovoltaic solar panels 100 % of

the institutes’s energy needs.

• The generated electricity is sent to

energy management centre where
meters are connected to determine the
amount of electricity generated.

• Works on NET METERING principle

 NET METERING

The storage of excess energy generated from the renewable

source for the future usage.
 NET METERING PROCESS

Excess energy generated by renewable resource

Generated energy is sent to grid line.

Ac is converted to DC

Excess energy can be stored

 GEO THERMAL ENERGY

Heating and cooling system is done by using the temperature

difference of the earth.
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS
• Limiting the amount of chemicals used.
• Avoiding the usage of Cadmium, Choloro Fluoro Carbon ( CFC) , Lead,
Mercury, Poly Vinyl Chloride ( PVC’s ).
• 40 % of slag must be used.
• Sourcing of raw materials must be done within the prescribed distance.
WHY IS IT GREENER THAN LEED ?

• Aerated lagoons of ECO –MACHINE helps to heat and cool the building
• Green roof helps to cool the building in summer.
• Cardboard, wood waste, metals are recycled.
• It uses 40 % of the slag from steel industry
• Reduction in C02 emission.
• Increasing the indoor environmental Quality.
• Increased water and energy efficiency
• Zero waste generation
