How Building would work and what would it work with technology

Kritika arora 36

Solar Harvesting -To save energy, lights throughout the building

are equipped with sensors that detect when a room is empty or when sunlight is

sufficient, in which case the sensors would trigger the lights to shut off.

green roof with sedums and other plants allows a reduction in runoff.

The addition features recycled content and locally sourced materials, along with CO2

sensors that trigger a ventilation system to maximize energy savings when spaces are

Unoccupied.

The interior is fitted with CO2, VOC and humidity sensors; the heating and cooling are provided by

seawater heat pumps powered by hydroelectricity.

A compact structured plumbing system with low-flow fixtures and an on-demand hot-water circulator

pump reduces water consumption

ultimate goal of a superior indoor environment for the health and well-being of its employees

Why Sustainability to increase awareness about the concept of sustainable development.

Sustainability: Tiles

Sustainability Characteristics Inherent in Ceramic Tile:

Manufactured in various levels of slip resistance for improved safety on exterior or interior surfaces.

Made from 100% plentiful and natural raw materials. When removed from site, is not harmful to landfills.

Remains in service up to four times longer than other flooring products

Easily repaired by replacing individual tiles rather than entire installations.

Does not require toxic products such as detergents, waxes, solvents and shampoos to maintain, only neutral cleansers and water.

Reduce allergies and improve indoor air quality.

Does not absorb odors like smoke, paint fumes or other contaminants.

Chemically inert and inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other organisms

Other sustainability points Kept in Mind:-

• Public transportation Access reducing Pollution : 5 min reach

• Bicycle storage /Changing rooms

• Storm water Management :Treatment system

• Solar Panels

• Water use reduction

• Measurement and Verification : Energy and water consumptions
