Approach to Sustainability
• Climate responsive
– hot-dry, warm-humid,
– composite,
– temperate
– cold climate
– sun path movements, annual wind directions
rainfall
• Selection of building materials shall be based on
local Architecture.

Energy Efficient Design & Processes
• Climatic zone of the site
• Adopt passive architectural design
• Reduce the hard paved areas
• retain the mature trees.
• Use of low energy or passive heating or cooling.

Site Design & Development
• Protect
– Agricultural lands
– Floodplains
– Forest areas
– Water bodies such as lakes, ponds etc.
• Preserve top soil and existing

vegetation.

Site Planning
• A well-planned and optimally
oriented building
:-
– Passive solar heating
– Solar heat gain.
– Natural ventilation.
– High-quality day lighting
– Storm water runoff.
– Protect open space.
– Reduce the risk of soil - erosion.
Passive Architecture Design
• Based upon climate considerations
• Attempts to control comfort
• Orientation of the building
• Building envelope (plan, section) to control air flow
• Uses materials to control heat
• Maximizes use of free solar energy
• Maximizes use of free ventilation for cooling
• Uses shade (natural or architectural) to control heat gain
Differentiating Passive vs. Active Design
Passive
design
results when
a building is
created and
simply works
“on its Active design uses equipment to
own”. modify the state of the
building, create energy and
comfort; ie.
Fans, pumps, etc.
Climatic zones of India
• Hot & Dry

• Warm & Humid
• Composite
• Temperate
• Cold

Design Strategies in Hot & Dry Climate
• Large openings
• Windows area.
• Internal courtyard for cross

ventilation & thermal buffer
•Radiation barriers in the form of

canopies, chhajjas, long verandahs
etc.

Design Strategies in Warm &Humid Climate
• Orientation should preferably be in North-South

direction.
• Provide maximum cross ventilation in the
building.

Design Strategies in Composite Climate
• Plan the building around the
courtyard.
• Reduce heat gain in the building
through building envelope.
• Plan water bodies
• cavity walls, terrace gardens, light
shelves.
NORTH
CROSS VENTILATION AT THE
MICRO LEVEL THROUGH
OPENINGS

Design Strategies in Temperate Climate
• cavity walls, terrace

gardens,
green light roof,
shelves
• Roof insulation using
insulation material,
china clay or clay pots
is advisable.

Design Strategies in Cold Climate
• Glazing windows up to 25%

floor area
• Double glazing to avoid heat
losses during winter nights.
• Adopt Trombe walls.
• Sunspaces

Building Envelope
• Reduction in energy consumption by HVAC system.

• The thermal energy efficiency of the building Internal
Heat Gain Factors:-
– Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC):
– solar heat that passes through the glazing
. The lower the SHGC, the lesser the direct incident
heat gains from the glazing surfaces.

Strategies for Designing Building Envelope

Solar Transmission Through Glass
Solar radiation
Reflected off of the glass..
Absorbed into the glass,.
Initial transmission through the

glass – as once the heat is in, it is
IN.

Solar Transmission through Varying Types of
Glass

Solar Energy as a Function of
Orientation
solar energy received
on the different
facades and roof of a
building .
A horizontal
window (skylight)
receives 4 to 5 times
more solar radiation
than south window
on June 21.
East and West
glazing collects
almost 3 times the
solar radiation of
south window.
A simple roof overhang acts as a
shading device.

External Heat Gain Factors
U – Value:
Amount of heat that gets
transmitted through a unit
area of a material for a
unit difference in
temperature.
The lower the U-

Value of the material, the
lesser the heat transfer, and
better the thermal efficiency.
ECBC recommends the U-
values for glazing:
Reduction in Overall Embodied Energy
• low energy materials for construction.

• Promote the use of low energy materials in interiors
to maintain indoor air quality.
• sealants and adhesives used are water based rather
than solvent based or have low solvent content.

Renewable Energy
Types of Renewable
Energy :-
•Solar
•Biomass
•Wind
•Water
•Geothermal

Solar Energy
• Solar power is used for hot water &

for generating Electricity.
Disadvantages
• Cost very high.
• Require large area.

Wind Energy
• Wind is caused due to difference of

temperature at the earth’s surface when
lit by sunlight.
• Wind Energy can be used to pump
water or generate electricity.
Disadvantages
• Initial Cost is very High.
• Wind Farms are Unsightly and wind
turbines are noisy.
• Maintenance of wind mills is very
costly.

Executing the Design Brief
The excellent location in the heart of Delhi, offers an opportunity to create a link with the
Delhi’s Past.
Executing the Design Brief
+
With the building’s envelope design & Green concepts, it was ready
to incorporate not only a Net Zero, but an “Energy-Positive”
approach.
Architectural Design Strategies
• Building form wrapped
around a pedestrian-friendly
shaded green open courtyard
• A continuous green axis
from front of site across the
atrium.
• Eco park within the
courtyard shall contain a self
sustaining low.
NORT
• Large openings in H

Conservation of natural soil and
trees.
Orientation of building has been
planned reduce ingress of solar
radiation.
Largeopenings North andSouth

Green areas have been developed on
smaller terraces.
Shaded landscape areas to
reduce
NORTH
ambient temperature.
Provision of barrier free access .
Surrounding open area parking free
by providing adequate parking in
the basement.
The façade has been designed
to receive 70% of natural
daylight.
Shading devices
East, West and South to take care
of the solar radiations especially
in summer.
On the Southern side of the

building terraces have been
created to take the winter sun
Barrier free access to differently-
abled persons.
Automated parking in three
level basements
