(Uploaded on Web so as to get feedback/suggestions/comments from all the stake holder of the society) DRAFT GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR
HIGH RISE BUILDING PROPOSALS 16th July 2011 Preamble The development of a city is highly dependent upon the vision of its stakeholders with regard to its ultimate looks and utilities. Mumbai city has struggled in the past being an industrial city with largest slum population. The changes in the city is reflective in terms of development being proposed by the planners and authorities. Though market forces take control of many changes and development, the strongest influence of vertical development of the city which provides multiple levels of FSI for multiple reasons, is on the environment. The city with little open spaces, lowest road length (amongst large cities of India), highest population density and largest slum area needs to balance growth with the amenities and especially environment which is getting deteriorated rapidly. The vertical development all around the city needs to look at these issues not only from environment point of view but also safety and security of population from fire, earthquake, terror attacks, diseases and climate changes. Some of the other amenities which are essential for the development of the city roads, pedestrian pathways, traffic densities, power, water supply and sewerage system to take up the loads created due to development. The first few acts as a catalyst for such development can lead to multiple development leading to extreme pressure on the resources, amenities, environment and people. A high rise is defined differently in many countries, of which starting with more than 10 floors is very common. In some cities across world, it is 15 floors and above. A major component of interaction of the building with surroundings starts with the base or podium. The base is the primary interface with the city context of the environment, street/roads, people, and other amenities. The upper parts HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011 Page 1
are important for aesthetics, shadow effect, tunnel effect, wind and microclimate, glaze, birds and others. Poor implementation and design of a high-rise buildings can be an unwanted addition in the area. The neighborhood can get affected due to inadequately detailed design which can impinge upon pedestrian spaces, crowded roads, privacy problems, negatively change the regions character besides contributing to microclimate impacts and environmental issues such as wind tunnel effects, shadows, noise, and air quality. On the other hand, when properly done, all of the above problem areas can be addressed early in the design process. This would also provide an opportunity to rejuvenate the neighborhood. A well designed and implemented building can positively improve the municipal services and amenities and positively contribute to the areas quality. The overall development should be able to add value to the city and not add burden. Govt. of Maharashtra has constituted a Technical Committee for scrutiny of proposals of high rise buildings (HRB) having height more than 70 mt. In
pursuance of that all the new building proposals where the height of the proposed buildings exceeds 70 mt. are referred to the aforesaid Committee known as High Rise Buildings Committee (HRC). The HRC is recommending body and the Commissioner, MCGM can overrule the recommendation of the HRC by giving reasons in writing. Further, FSI matters, No Objection Certificates from CRZ, MoEF, Aviation, Heritage aspects etc are not within the purview of the HRC. Use of Guidelines The guidelines are aimed at addressing high rises in mixed types of development and surroundings. The purpose is to integrate the development with the vision of the city which looks at more and more vertical development. Many of the guidelines can vary from place to place and in the context in which
HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011
Page 2
the development is proposed, however, in large number of cases, these can be easily applied. There is also a need to simultaneously address through a separate study which can be undertaken for an area development plan and vision document so that the context of development and actual development match. Competent authority must be prepared to address this issue, as many places, a standalone description of a building may not be sufficient to address all the major issues discussed above. Integration of the development with the city infrastructure, environment and safety must be the prime criteria. Ideally, the city should have a Master Plan for next 20-30 year window. Such a plan would form a basis for any developmental activity in the Mumbai city. It is given to understand that such a document would require substantial time to prepare. Therefore, in the interim it is proposed to follow some guidelines on the basis of which any high rise building proposal may be considered. Such guidelines would be helpful in transparent, consistent and smooth functioning of HRC. These guidelines have been formulated taking into consideration feedback from previous HRCs and other professionals. The guidelines will be revised from time to time so that best practices can be incorporated on the basis of experience gained within the committee as well as any additional information and knowledge which may become available. In these guidelines the word building and Phrases high rise building or HRB have been used as equivalents and defined as Any structure for whatsoever purpose and of whatsoever materials constructed and every part thereof whether used as human habitation or not and includes foundation, plinth, walls, floors, roofs, chimneys, plumbing and building services, fixed platforms, verandah, balcony, cornice or projection, part of a building or anything affixed thereto or any wall enclosing or intended to enclose any land or space and signs and outdoor display structures (Source: NBC,2005, Part 2, HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011 Page 3
Section 1, Clause 2.5). The definition of height & building and building line is as given in Clauses 2.6 and 2.7 of NBC (2005) Part 2, Section 1). Purpose of the guidelines The major objectives of these guidelines are: To understand the place and context of high rise development so that it is compatible with the existing or planned area development without adversely affecting the neighborhood amenities of space and
environment. To develop and strive to achieve pedestrian-friendly streets, easy accessible roads and public spaces that contribute to safe, healthy and homogenous communities To achieve an integrated parking, municipal services, utilities, resources (power and water), and connected communities within and around the site with a view to get mix of uses and open spaces that contribute to the amenities of urban living; Development of the city which does not disorient the microclimate, heat island effect, lower climate change impact, resilient design for sea level rise and other disasters. Development of vertical structure, which does not lead to elevated slums in the city devoid of amenities. To have safe, secure and durable structure.

Detailed disaster management plan for the onsite and offsite use shall be prepared keeping in view all the possible disaster situations. These DMPs shall be operational system which can be made working immediately after the completion. It is also expected that proper plan also is in place for the building construction period. 8) Environment Protection and Preservation Plan The process of building must start with green thoughts at the start of the conceptual plan itself. A building can be said to be green or eco-friendly when conscious steps are taken during the entire process of planning and construction of the building starting from excavation, selection of materials as well as through the operation and maintenance phase of the building to keep natural resource depletion and pollution as low as possible. Thus, the aim of the creating an environmentally conscious building is to minimize demand on non-renewable resources, maximize resource utilization efficiency, and maximize reusing and recycling of renewable resources. The eco-housing
movement graduates through a design process that requires thoughtful inputs from all the concerned professionals the architect; the landscape designer and the air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, and energy consultants to work as a team and carefully consider all aspects of construction of building and associated services starting from the design stage itself. The Environmental and Contextual Guidelines (annexure ECG V.01) provides the overall guidelines as well needs for the environmental and contextual need for the high rise building development. It is expected that a report is prepared based on ECG V.01 and submit along with the mitigation plan. After careful analysis of all the aspects of environmental context, design, environment protection, safety etc, proponent is expected to prepare a Environmental Protection and Preservation Plan (EPPP V.01) for all the aspects and commit to its implementation which should be based o ECG V.01.

ECG-V.01 Environmental and Contextual Guidelines for High Rise

Use of Guidelines The guidelines are aimed at addressing high rises in mixed types of development and surroundings. The purpose is to integrate the development with the vision of the city which looks at more and more vertical development. Many of the guidelines can vary from place to place and in the context in which the development is proposed, however, in large number of cases, these can be easily applied. There is also a need to simultaneously address through a separate study which can be undertaken by the Municipal Corporation for an area development plan and vision document so that the context of development and actual development match. MCGM must be prepared to address this issue, as many places, a stand-alone description of a building may not be sufficient to address all the major issues discussed above. Integration of the development with the city infrastructure, environment and safety must be the prime criteria. Guidelines for High Rise Development The Guidelines presented below are the minimal requirement and can be further enhanced which can add to the quality of life of people and rejuvenated environmental conditions. Contextual, Location, Typology and Environmental Architecture 1- Detailed layout with Location Plan: A detailed layout of the proposed building and location showing surrounding areas (1-3km) around the site. This preferably includes the details about major roads, road width, access roads to the site, number of high rise building in the vicinity, number of high rise buildings proposed in the locality etc. Apart from this a note of prominent features such as Archaeologically important places, Heritage sites, schools, places of worships, forest/national park etc. be provided. Layout plan should clearly show the distances of other buildings/roads surrounding all 4 sides of the plot. 2- The building should be oriented and thought of from the point of view of unifying in such a way that it matches a. with the overall goal and look of the region, lane and locality b. with other buildings (current or future), looks, shape, colour etc c. Links with public access roads, connectivity etc
Page 21
3- The building creates a view which aims at unifying the features and space 4- Distinctly identify and announce the type of building proposed: an iconic building (head office, tower of excellence etc) or other high rises. The latter type should mix with the other buildings, features, space and needs. The former could be unique in its shape, look, features however meets the needs of the place and justifies the reason for it to be called iconic building. 5- The base of the building and its height (base or podium) should have a proper relationship with the street or roads facing the property. For dense area it could be 1:1 and up to 1:3 depending upon the importance of the street and roads. The building should be able to provide appropriate space for the pedestrian besides other spaces for utilities for fire, earthquake, ambulances, riot vehicles/police etc. 6- Design should be able to provide the open spaces close to its own location as also provide public access and movement. 7- Building should not obstruct the views of important landmark, historic buildings parks etc as far as possible. The purpose is to maintain the aesthetics of the place and region. 8- The key parameter for tall buildings with regards to shadow of it is to minimize the extent and duration of the shadow. The shadow on parks, streets and other buildings must be minimized after carrying out a proper analysis and mitigation plan, if applicable. 9- Micro-climate of the place needs to be analysed with regard to other usages and buildings which may impact others with regard to wind, temperature, sunlight and activities. 10- The buildings base is the main part which should be analysed with regard to its functionality and its relationship with local streets, roads, shadow, functionalities etc. 11- High rises are meant to provide spaces for more people by going higher and therefore there is likelihood that there would be need of more open space on ground, for pedestrian and road spaces. Proper setback and space for pedestrian should be created. 12- The road facing faade of the building should not be featureless and bland as it brings out ugly development. The podium or base facing the street should be designed to make the place easily mixes with the nature and locations with proper landscaping and street-scaping. As far as possible high podium should be avoided besides use of mix use system should be created. 13- Minimum distance from one property to another (especially high rise) or buildings within the plots should be at least 20 m or based on the shadow analysis and wind analysis. The shape and location should be such that it can provide sense of space creation. 14- Provision of sidewalks for high current and projected pedestrian traffic as highrises would make more people to use the space. Commercial highrises should create more pedestrian space and open spaces. Building residents spill out area outside the building and design should also be given importance. HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011 Page 22
15- Pedestrian walkways development across the area would be the priority which indicates that the creation of newer buildings creates more accessibility and connectivity to open spaces and communities. 16- Walkways design must keep in mind unobstructed and smooth yielding with the movement of able and disable citizens. 17- The setback for the area can consider providing places for buses and public utilities movement and related infrastructure. 18- Location of open spaces should preferably be at the lower level as it provides sense of space as also the buildings related sun, wind, shadow and views. The open space could also be for gatherings, emergency situation, benches, chairs, etc. Environment 19- Day lighting description, passive solar gain, energy generation through photovoltaic, solar panels etc should be discussed and described for the building. 20- Climatic conditions based use of material: Use of glass for daylight justification and later using high cooling needs to be avoided. If used, its justification should be amply given for a climate conditions of Mumbai region. 21- Use of glass faade for high rises should be minimized if adequate gaps are not provided. Safety issue with regard to glass faade breaking or any other can be fatal. This is more so in Mumbai with high population density on the roads. 22- Wind breaking and wind movement analysis from micro-climate point of view needs to be analysed for a high rise keeping in view the existing building. Wind harnessing for natural ventilation is a key factor for better air quality indoors, which gets affected due to glass faade. 23- Wind tunnel effect study should be carried out to establish if the building will lead to dead tunnels where the wind will be minimal leading to built up of pollutants due to roads within that area. 24- Water budgeting for use within the building for various purposes describing sources, distribution, current supply of the region, exceedance if any and to what extent, impact on neighbourhood water availability, sewage generation, its treatment with technology, CAPEXOPEX analysis, sustainability, impact of existing sewer infrastructure, reuse type and categories etc. 25- Solid waste handling and its management explaining the methods of collection, generation types, handling, management for its use or sale. Description of trained manpower and working structure. 26- Position, orientation, height, discharge of AC heat, vehicle heat etc needs to be analysed and its dissipation mechanism should be addressed. Energy use analysis, smart energy management system, manpower to manage, per capita energy load, comparison with existing loads and additional loads should be provided. 27- Access Roads and Traffic details: A complete scenario of existing access roads with its width, capacity in terms of PCUs prior and post project of such magnitude be carried out in detail. A detailed traffic HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011 Page 23
survey covering entire types of vehicles on hourly basis for week days and week ends be carried out. Emissions from traffic may be established using appropriate models studies for existing and proposed scenarios keeping in view the growth being witnessed in the region. An action plan should be prepared for mitigating the congestion and related air pollution problem that would get created.. 28- Parking for cars, cycles, scooters for residents, visitors, neighborhood, integration of these with the areas need. Study of needs base site and development analysis should be included in the environment plan. 29- Bird hits due to glass faade, faade justification, additional cooling needs, wind related microclimate analysis, heat island effect due to release of heat from air conditioning should be studied and a mitigation plan should be prepared.. 30- Capacity building of workers, amenities manager and people should be carried out. A detailed plan for the same should be drawn which shall be part of the implementation plan and which could be checked after the completion. 31- Wooded space and its design within the building area as well as in the overall context of the 1-3 km radius of the location. 32- Noise barriers within as well as outside after noise generation and its effect analysis should be carried out. A Mitigation plan should also be included if it is likely to exceed the CPCB/MOEF norms 33- Utilities needs and its availability (sewer, water and electrical loads). This analysis should start with the regions current status, forecasted numbers and its impact on the existing systems. The utilities availability for high density population use must be assessed from existing records of the municipality and the same should be used for prediction and its use. 34- Roads infrastructure, vehicular loads and its impact, public utility and its use, emissions and its control with recourse to adequate air quality modeling study. Management plan for air emission reduction using multiple feasible techniques. Safety and Disaster Management Plan 35- Identify all the risk areas and develop a disaster management plan keeping in view any accidents which may occur within the building or outside. 36- Some of the scenario for disaster would be fire, earthquake, flood, terror strike, power failure, water unavailability, blasts, road congestions, communication, others. 37- The DMP should not be limited to the high rise building but also if disaster strikes neighbourhood buildings and activities. 38- Indoor air quality maintenance plan in case of closed design with closed faade, especially glass faade with limited opening.. 39- Description of any buildings important from architectural, historical, hospitals and other important installations, such as defense, police, jail, railways, airport etc
Page 24
Building Material and Micro-climate and Micro-Environment 40- Use of granite and other building material in the should be understood carefully from environment impact angle. An analysis of their sourcing and their environmental issues (such as Radon emission from granite) should be listed and a plan of its mitigation should be included. 41- Paints related VOCs, formaldehyde etc emissions and its built up within the building should be analyzed. Action plan for mitigating the same in the building design should be included and presented. 42- Natural ventilation for all areas should be preferred. Use of balconies and other designs to improve these aspects should be highlighted and explained for benefits with regard to indoor air pollution mitigation. Appropriate model should be used to analyse the indoor air and ventilation design for avoiding any built up of pollutants indoors, especially in commercial building. 43- Use of glass should be minimized as a complete external faade due to its environmental and energy use issues. Detailed safety aspects pertaining to use of Glass for Faade be provided. It should cover accidental breaking, damage due to blast explosion and its effect of nearby buildings/populations etc. The detailed thermal characteristics of the glass to be provided (single glazed/double glazed). Details of the energy consumption due to use of glass may be specified with calculations in comparison with the standard non-glass use benchmark. Alternatives to the glass materials should be thought of to minimize energy consumption in light of Mumbais climate. Glass use should also reduce as the height increases. Places where glass faade is insisted upon for any reasons, the possible use of PV panels should be explored which will also provide additional energy source. 44- Paving material, construction material, sources of supply and embodied energy analysis for the whole building should be presented in the report. 45- Air ventilation impacts of the wall effect resulting from the alignment of high-rise buildings, which can happen if there are multiple highrises (more than 35 m) are on the same lane/road. This situation can adversely affect the outdoor air and can create a gas chamber effect. 46- Centralised or decentralized heating cooling must be analysed for different use pattern of the building. The site location, wind speed and direction can play a major role in heat dissipation. 47- Micro-environment Design Consideration is key to understanding of environment surrounding. The heat island phenomenon in urban center is well known, the wind is the major driving force to alleviate the problem. Therefore, the density of building blocks, or interconnectedness of the porosity between building blocks, and their effects on the local microwind environment and eventually, the thermal and air quality environments need to be incorporated in urban planning and estate development. HRC-GUIDELINES DRAFT-JULY-2011 Page 25
48- All the issues listed above can be considered as problems and opportunities associated with high-rise and high-density residential building design. High density provides opportunities for the application of more efficient centralized systems which can bring in efficiency. However, high density high rise also modifies the local microenvironment, depending on outdoor weather conditions. The purpose of the better micro-climate and micro-environment based design would be to assess these impacts, and make an attempt achieve healthy and comfortable design of the living environment using minimal use of energy for all functionality of the building. 49- Separate budget should be allocated for the implementation of the EMP and the same should be operational before the OC. It should also be ensured that O&M contract of all the STP, SWM facility and RWH system and Solar system is in place with competent agency for a minimum duration of 5 years. 50- The report shall be assessed with comments and the final copy will be attached with a summary of analysis and action plan in terms of EPPP. This part shall be used for compliance monitoring in future by HRC/MCGM. The report shall also contain the credentials of the consultants and their personnel. Any false and misleading information by the consultant should be avoided to avoid delays and penalty.
