• ENERGY: Power consumption less by 40%, saving direct 8 to 10 INR kw/h on
every unit of power been consumed.
• LED Lighting in parking
• reducing 40% consumption by lights to 20 watts directly.
• A third of the power required to run the building is met through renewable en-
ergy sources.
• Aim is to meet two-thirds of power requirements through renewable energy
sources.
• So in the next 2 years, the tech park has more carbon credits to gain.
• THERMAL CONTROL: Temperature cooling by water cool chillers.
• 2 cooling towers. Hybrid system building.
• low loads on water cool chillers and low load on air cool chiller.
• Hence reduction in air conditioning load.
