No: 15 to No:21
Design features
Double-glazed windows.
Design Temperature:
The design temperature was taken to be 18 degree Celsius for
winters, considering that it is customary to be warmly dressed
while working.
Fenestrations:
Double glazing and tight fitting open able panels for windows
have been installed for circulation and infiltration control. On the
top floor the north and west walls and the ceilings are insulated.
Sunspaces:
The balconies adjacent to rooms on the southern
face are converted into glazed sunspaces. These
act as winter gardens and heat collectors for the
adjacent room thereby reducing glare, enhancing
views, increasing comfort, and also livening up the
main faade.
Roof collector:
A roof top solar collector has been installed. This has been
angled at 45 degrees to receive the winter sun. the collector
warms up air, which is circulated into the space with a blower.
An insulated air handling room is located below the attic space.
Location: Gurgaon,
Haryana.
Architect: A B Lall
Architects.
Climate: Composite.
Built up area: 2750sqmt
Cost: 55 million.
Building Type: Office
Exposure:
The planting scheme along the edges of the site with tall
evergreen (Silver Oak) trees, provides another protective
layer for the building.
Insulation:
Heat transfer:
The daylight windows provide insulation by way of tightsealed two layers of glass with a venetian blind installed
between the two layers.
Fountain court:
Air Distribution:
Each of the office floors is served with two air handling units. The
allocation of areas handled by each unit is designed to balance
out peak demands on each unit.
Circulation passages and ancillary function rooms have no airconditioning. Toilets and pantries expel air to the outside at a
minimal rate drawing relief air from neighboring conditioned
spaces.
Illumination:
External envelope:
Brief Description:
Orientation:
The alley space on the west side is shaded by retaining the wall
of the original double-storey building that had previously lined
the side street.
For the linear houses on the north side, the width of the
driveway that separates the two rows of houses is just
sufficient to enable winter sunshine to enter the first-floor
windows.
Evaporative cooling:
Courtyard roof:
This makes the roof a large evaporative cooler over the central
space of the house. All rooms communicate directly with this
central space.
Direct radiation.
This method of evaporative cooling will supplement a conventional
evaporative cooler and, in the hot-humid period of July to August,
would give considerable cooling when evaporative cooling is no
longer effective.
Insulation/materials:
Criterion:
Fly ash use in RC: Minimum 15% replacement of cement with fly ash
by weight of cement used in the total structural concrete. Provide
supporting document from the manufacturer of the cement
specifying the fly ash content in PPC used in reinforced concrete.
For use of fly ash in building blocks of load bearing and non-load
bearing wall: Minimum 40% utilization of fly ash by volume of
materials, for 100% load bearing and non-load bearing walls. Provide
supporting document from the manufacturer of the pre-cast building
blocks specifying the fly ash content of the blocks used in an infill
wall system.
For use of fly ash in plaster and masonry mortar: Minimum 30% use
of fly ash in place of cement by weight in overall plaster and mortar
requirement. Provide supporting document from the manufacturer of
the cement/ready mix concrete, specifying the fly ash content in PPC
used in plaster and masonry mortar.
16.2 Compliance:
Cut sheets, specification sheets and bill of quantity demonstrating the
percentage
reduction in embodied energy with the use of lowenergy materials/efficient technologies.
Document to demonstrate the use of the aforesaid technologies in the
relevant floor plans, with clear dimensions and enlisting of
specifications.
Narrative showing how the selected technology has amounted to
reduction in high-energy materials or regional availability when
compared with equivalent products for the same application. On-site
photographs and construction project management plan, which would
clearly demonstrate the use/ construction/specifications of low-energy
technologies.
16.3 Appraisal (maximum 4 points):
16.3.1 Structural application:
Use of low-energy materials/efficient technologies in structural
application clearly
demonstrating a minimum 5% reduction in the embodied energy, when
compared with
equivalent products for the same application, for 100% structural
17.1 Commitment:
A minimum of 70% of the total quantity of all interior finishes and
products used in each of the categories mentioned above should
be low-energy finishes / materials / products , which minimize
wood as a natural resource or utilize industrial waste by using
products in any category.
17.2 Compliance:
Cut sheets, specification sheets, commercial brochures or
certificate from the manufacturer of the low energy finishes or
products used in each category.
For each category, clearly demonstrate and differentiate the use
of the aforesaid finishes/products in the relevant interior
layouts/plans in a CAD drawing, either by shading, rendering or
highlighting with clear dimension and enlisting specifications.
The bill of quantity for each of the category, as applicable to the
applicant, clearly
demonstrating that minimum 70% of the total quantity of all
interior finishes and products are low energy.
A narrative and photographs showing how the selected lowenergy finishes or products have minimized wood as natural
resource or utilized low energy material and products, when
