• This is a project of ministry of
Environment and forests for construction
of new office building at New Delhi.
• Concept - To make net zero energy
green building
• So it is the building house of the ministry
of environment, forest and climate
change so to set an example this building
is made net zero energy green building
• Griha rating 5 star
• LEED Platinum rated

1 Site selection 1
2 Preserve and protect landscape during construction 5
3 Soil conservation (till post construction) 2
4 Design to include existing site feature 4
5 Reduce hard paving on site and/or provide shaded hard 2
paved surface
6 Enhance outdoor lighting system efficiency and use 3
renewable energy system for meeting outdoor lighting

Measure for site
• Wider Front Setback (22m) to protect front tree line Preserve the integrity of the green street.

• Preservation of the local ecology, Tree Cutting approvals for 46, but only 19 cut, 11 Trees Transplanted.

• Excavated Soil reutilized at other construction sites and the Zoo.

The IPB office building for the ministry of environment and

forests has been planned in 2 parallel blocks facing the
north south direction, with a large linear open court in the
centre.

The Building blocks create a porous block form to optimize

N air movement throughout the site and the N 5 orientation
allows for optimum solar access and shading.

• Effective ventilation by orientating the building N-S and by optimum
integration with nature by separating out different blocks with
connecting corridors and a huge central court yard.

• More than 50% area outside the building is soft with
plantation and grassing

• circulation roads and pathways with grass paver blocks

to enable ground water recharge

 BUILDING PLANNING AND
CONSTRUCTION MEASURES
Reduce landscape water requirement
• Drip irrigation
• Use of native species of shrubs and trees having low water demand in landscaping
• Low lawn area so as to reduce water demand.
• Reuse of treated water for irrigation

Reduce water use in the building

• Low discharge fixtures
• Dual Flushing cistern
• Waste water treatment. Reuse of treated water for irrigation and cooling towers for HVAC
• Rain water harvesting
• Efficient water use during construction.
• Use of curing compound https://nzeb.in
https://cpwd.gov.in
Griha website
Optimize building design to reduce
conventional energy demand
• Energy efficient light fittings to reduce energy demand
• Part condenser water heat rejection by geothermal mechanism. This will
also help in water conservation in cooling towers for hvac system
• Variable chilled water pumping system through VFD .VFD on cooling
towers fans and AHU.
• Pre cooling of fresh air from toilet exhaust air through sensible & latent
heat energy recovery wheel.
• Entire hot water generation through solar panels.
• Maximum daylighting regenerative lifts.
• Use of lux level sensor to optimize operation of artificial lightingsolar
powered external lighting
