Solar Passive Architecture

How the bui ldings are constructed to ut i l ize the solar energy

eff icient ly. This includes use of day l ight as l ight ing source and

avoidance of GHG intensive technology example AC as source

of cooling due to solar heat gains.

Implementation of measures to reduce wastage of energy

This includes ef fect ive and object ive evidences to create

awareness towards wastage of electr ic energy. Hoardings,

placards, messages, posters etc planted at ke y locations in

col lege, hostels and cafeterias. PCRA (Petroleum Conservation

Research Associat ion, Govt of India) and BEE (Bure au of

Energy Eff iciency) posters.

2 Definition: as per GRI 101: FOUNDATION2016

An organization is faced with a wide range of topics on which it can report. Relevant topics, which potentially merit

inclusion in the report, are those that can reasonably be considered important for reflecting the organization‘s

economic, environmental, and social impacts, or influencing the decisions of stakeholders. In this context, ‗impact‘

refers to the effect an organization has on the economy, the environment, and/or society (positive or negative). A

topic can be relevant – and so potentially material – based on only one of these dimensions.

3. Lighting

Is col lege ut i l iz ing any incandescent l ights? Can they be replaced with compact f luorescents (energy saving bulbs)?

From the incept ion of the bui ld ing there is energy ef f ic ient l ight ing system which fol lowed the contemporary best pract ices wi l l recommendat ions on l ight ing by Bureau of Energy Ef f ic iency, Book -3, Chapter 8, table 8.1

Thus, LED‘s are cons idered for insta l la t ion as night l ights, secur i ty s treet l ights by the col lege. The term reading l ight

3 normal ly refers to lamps or l ights which

focus l ight dedicated for readings, thus LEDs were not cons idered for c lass room l ight ings. F luorescent lamps were ut i l ized for c lass rooms (as the same are stated to be suitable for of f ice i l luminat ion level requirements) . LED l ight ing survey was a lso undertaken by the Audi t Team. Please refer below assessments in deta i ls . From the incept ion of the bui ld ing there is energy ef f ic ient l ight ing system. Dur ing the ons ite v is i t the Audi t Team vis i ted each depar tment and phys ical ly counted the insta l led l ights by their types (Fluorescent tube lamp, CFL and LED). I t is conf irmed that there is no incandescent l ight insta l led for l ight ing purpose. As per the publ ished art ic le: ht tp:/ /www.usai l ight ing.com/stuf f /contentmgr/ f i les/1/92f feb328de0f4878257999e7d46d6e4/misc/ l ight ing_co

Green Audit Report

Page | 16

mpar ison_chart .pdf LED l ight has lumen/ wat t in the range of 80 -100 whereas CFL has lumen/ wat t in the range of 70 -90 Recommendation: As per the replacement policy the college should install T5 tubes

4 in the class rooms in place of

conventional tube l ights. The CFL lamps5 should

be replaced by the LED lamps.

Has the college evaluated existing lighting for opportunities to reduce lighting in over-lit areas?

The l ight ing ar rangements are wel l balanced wi th arrangements to swi tch ON and OFF l ights independent ly. There are therefore pract ical ly no over l i t areas.

Are the l ight swi tched duly label led to make more obvious which switches relate to which appl iances?

Switch arrangements are luc id. The fan switches are adjacent to fan speed regulators . L ight swi tches are arranged in order of l ight ing.

Are the l ights swi tched of f to make use of dayl ight? (e.g. l ights paral le l to windows or in corr idors)

There is min imum or pract ica l ly negl ig ible use of l ights dur ing day t ime as the bui lding st ructure has poss ib i l i t y of dayl ight usage.

Is the college utilising natural lighting when possible?

Yes, natura l l ight ing is f i rst preference.

For the spaces l ike store rooms, to i le ts, k i tchen areas, copying rooms, corr idors etc is there scope for automat ic l ight ing contro ls?

The pol icy of co l lege is switch of f the l ights and other e lec tr ica l equipments when they are not in use. The appropr iate usage of the resources and contro l on i ts avoidance is one of core respons ibi l i t ies of the respect ive HoD. Since, the cul ture of usefu l gain is pract iced over the years, there is a responsible and natura l tendency amongst staf f and students to avoid wastage. Every Lab in-charge is responsib le for the lab e lectr ica l ut i l i t ies , every faculty inc luding the HoD is respons ib le for switching of f the un -necessary l ight ings and AC in h is / her cabins.

Can main l ight ing ever be switched of f and dedicated l ight ing be used?

As such there are no dedicated lamps which can replace overhead l ight ing. However , redundant l ight ing can be switched of f when i t is not required. L ights above desk can be operated and other overheads l ights can be switched of f .

Are the l ight f i t t ings c lean?

Cleanl iness is wel l mainta ined. In -house l ight f i t t ings are c leaned regular ly. The l ight f i t t ing in the veranda needs c leaning. The Col lege Team clar i f ied that the excess dust due to the paint ing operat ion has caused the dust ing of the l ight f i t t ing and same wi l l be at tended af ter the paint ing operat ion is concluded.

Do windows and skyl ights need cleaning to a l low in more natura l l ight?

The window and skyl ight are c lean. Cleaning is outsourced and regular c leaning schedules were observed by the Audit Team dur ing the course of Audi t .

Has the college installed lighting occupancy sensors?

No, l ights are negl ig ib ly operated dur ing day t ime. The l ights are operated manually.

Is there mechanism in place to immediately report inoperable occupancy light sensors?

NA as no l ight sensor is insta l led.

What is the % contribution of the LED lighting?

As per the BEE guidance we have evaluated the % LED ins ta l lat ion at Passage and ground and a l l o ther f loor. The value is determined and presented under Annexure V.

Further Scope of Improvement:

As per the replacement policy the college should install T5 tubes in the class rooms in place of conventional tube lights. The CFL lamps6 should be replaced by the LED lamps.

A dedicated stabilizer can be installed and the lighting lo ad can be

transferred. With the help of voltage regulation, further energy

savings are possible from the fluorescent lamps 7. Please refer

below table which provides impact of energy savings from voltage

regulations (reference Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Book 3,

Chapter 8).

Particular 10 % lower Voltage 10% higher voltage

within respect to the sufficiency of l ighting measures.

Negligible l ighting load is observed during day time as

college makes good use of daylight.

Replacement policy to further improve lighting efficiency (as

stated above) needs to be implemented.

4. Cooling and Ventilation

How are the Air Condi t ioning Controls? For the local contro ls, how it is ensured that AC is work ing only ON when necessary. What is temperature set t ing of the AC?

The AC usage is very less as the temperature in Nas ik is comparat ive ly lower (Max temperature is 37

oC

8) hottest day in Nas ik

was reg istered wi th temperature of 40.3 which was 4

oC above normal

9) . The AC temperature

is set at 28 oC.

What is the mechanism of reduc ing heat in-grace? Are the c losing bl inds or f i t t ing ref lect ive f i lm to windows insta l led to reduce solar gain?

The bui ld ing is des igned to make best use of day l ight and avoid the heat in -grace. Bl inds are avai lable to contro l unnecessary heat in -grace. In addit ion i t is conf irmed that there is no unnecessary operat ion of the equipments which add up the heat.

Are a l l ex ternal doors and windows c losed when air condit ioning is on?

Based on interv iews, i t is conf irmed that th is pract ice is mainta ined.

Is there a scenar io where a ir condi t ioning is wasted in unused spaces, such as cupboards, corr idors?

There are no such ins tances observed. Arrangements are duly implemented to avoid losses.

Are Ef f ic ient and energy label led AC‘s ut i l ized for cool ing purposes?

The insta l led spl i t ACs are 3 s tar . These AC run for 3-4 hours in the summer season. Only one AC in the workshop is 2 s tar which runs 2-3 hours dur ing summer season. The insta l led Centra l AC do not have Star Rat ings, thus as a replacement measure evaporat ive cool ing is suggest for centra l AC systems.

the assessment of the a ir condit ioning system. Based on the same i t was found that there ex ists scope for the use of evaporat ive based cool ing which is energy ef fec t ive compared to the reversed Bryon cyc le i .e . Vapour Compress ion Cyc le. The bas ic reason for the same ins ta l led system has COP of 1.5 kW /TR of ref r igerat ion compared to evaporat ive cyc le which draws 0.3-0.5 kW based on the s ize of insta l la t ion.

Further Scope of Improvement:

As a replacement policy college can install evaporative cooling

and replace the two central AC plants.

Conclusion:

PROCUREMENT 10 of 3 STAR AC is observed as one of energy

conservation measure. The selection of AC follows the

publically traceable selection methodology which is mix of

feasibili ty and performance.

The only one exception identified at the workshop which has

2 star AC, however that AC has very less annual operational

hours.

As a long term measure, the Central AC system needs to be

replaced by evaporative cooling.

outs ide bui ld ings?

Has the college installed low-flow faucets, automatic faucets, and/or faucet aerators?

There is no c lear pol icy of co l lege management regarding this issue. Though a few aerated taps were ident i f ied, st i l l greater emphasis is required on th is f ront.

Recommendation for Improvement:

The college Management needs to consider

the low-flow faucets, automatic faucets,

and/or faucet aerators as the replacement

for the existing convent ional taps.

Has the college installed low-flow shower heads at Hostel?

Please refer above recommendat ion.

Has the college collected rainwater for onsite watering needs?

Yes, ra in water f rom terrace is col lec ted in p its

located around the bui lding and col lected water

is charged into the wel l in - f ront of the Rose

Garden.

Is the college collecting the condensation from A/C units for onsite watering needs?

Yes, ACs are operated main ly in the months of

March, Apr i l , May, June, October . Condensed

water is col lec ted and ut i l ized for gardening.

Has the college optimized its irrigation system for gardening to: o operate at night or early morning hours to minimize evaporation?

o water the minimum time and frequency necessary for the applicable vegetation?

As per the latest publication from ―The Hindu‖ drip irrigation is one of the most important measures to achieve ―more crop per drop‖. Share of Agriculture consumption is approximately 83 per cent of India‘s water resources, thus approximately 17 per cent water resources are available for domestic and industrial use (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/time-to-focus-on-more-crop-per-drop/article9778971.ece). Here, in case of college, the evaporation losses from soil surface are reduced by application of the drip irrigation. Sprinklers are also utilized as the Sprinkler systems eliminate water conveyance channels, thereby reducing water loss. Sprinklers provide a more even application of water to agricultural land, promoting steady crop growth.

What is amount of rain water harvested?

The rain water harvested from the roof top is collected in the soak pits and then charged into the well. Total area of roof top is 7492

11 m

2. The rainfall for Nasik region is

approximately 236212

mm. Total rain water harvested is estimated as 15926 m

college? Refer NAAC report for details

Water is utilized by college and the Mahiravani village which also has approximately 25 % tribal population

14.

Please refer Annexure XII for details.

Further Scope of Improvement:

Immediate Measure:

Instance of water leakage from tap was identified in the B3

Hostel third floor and other in the college boys washroom.

The Audit Team identified that the discharge of water

through taps is on higher side. The flow of water through

the taps needs to be suitable reduced. This finding is

applicable to the toilets, canteen and hostel taps.

Long Term Measure:

The college Management needs to consider the low -flow

faucets, automatic faucets, and/or faucet aerators as the

replacement for the existing conventional taps.

College needs to install the metering arrangement to

measure the water drawn from its main sources i.e. Dam

water and Well water.

College can undertake determination of water footprint and

calibrate its specific water consumption with the

established National and International Norms.

Conclusion:

The toilet washrooms are equipped with the push buttons.

Most of the taps are leak proof except the above mentioned

observations.

Sprinkler and drip irrigation is util ized for gardening

Total rain water harvested is estimated as 15926 m 3 which is

higher than the total water requirement for drinking (2142

m3) and softener water (9476 m 3).

Water is util ized by college and the Mahiravani vil lage which

also has approximately 25 % tribal population.

8. Renewable Energy

Is the college having solar, wind, or other forms of renewable energy?

The college has solar water heating system. College Management is evaluating the feasibility of introduction of the solar PV generation. As a normal rule of thumb, 100 liters of solar water heater running 300 days a year saves 1200 kWh of electricity. College hostel has installed 5000 X 6 (30000) liters solar water heater. Thus the annual savings will be approximately 36000 kWh. Annual average electricity consumption for college is 497732 kWh (Electricity consumption for 2014-15 was 427344 kWh, for 2015-16 was 479244 kWh, 2016-17 was 586608 kWh)

15. Thus the % contribution of the

renewable energy = 36000/497732 = 7.23 %. The college has 29.12 % share applied for the electric billing thus applying the same factor for determination of share for college. The share of renewable energy comes to 2.1 %. The C-Wet governed by MNRE (Enterprise of Govt of India) and SITRC signed MoU dated 2013-09-13. As part of MoU wind mast and pilot solar plant is installed. This arrangement captures key data to ascertain feasibility of installation of renewable energy (solar and wind) in the control region of 25 km radius. The report generation is automatic and data is directly available to MNRE.

Is the college purchasing renewable power from third party or renewable energy certificates for its electricity use?

No. Grid electricity is purchased. This is verified from the submitted bills.

Is the college offering renewable energy lessons / programs?

Yes. Students are also encouraged to present papers. List of papers is enclosed with this report under Annexure. Also there is subject called Basic Civil and Environmental Engineering in First Year of Engineering.

Further Scope of Improvement:

The college needs to chalk out long term strategy towards carbon

neutrality and install renewable electricity generation (solar PV) to

offset emissions of grid based electricity generation. College can

also buy carbon credits (registered under CDM, VCS) to offset its

GHG emissions.

Conclusion:

15

Source: Submitted Preliminary Energy Audit Report

Green Audit Report

Page | 25

The contribution of the renewable energy needs to be improved

from the present value of 2.1 %. College Management needs to

develop long term action plan in this regards.

9. Transportation

Is the college providing eco-friendly or less GHG intensive transportation matching services? (Example carpools, college buses etc)

The Staff and students of the college utilize the public transport (State or college contracted) for commuting. The HoD‘s are car pulling.

What are the good pract ices per tain ing to Transpor t?

Out of total 229216

students enrolled on the college 315 (approximately 13%) stay in college hostel which is approximately 300 m away from college. The students staying in the hostel walk to college. Remaining 1977 students commute to college with the use of public transport (State or college contracted). Personal commuting is not encouraged by college and hence there is not parking lot for the students inside college premise.

In addition the college extends free commuting to faculties and students external to college for its events. Sample evidences of proof for the same are submitted in form of FDP undertaken on date 2017-11-13 to 2017-11-17 (iOT- Internet of Things), another 2017-12-11 to 2017-12-23 (IEDC – Innovation and Entrepreneurship development Cell).

Conclusion:

The college management, its employees and the students observe good

pract ices of t ransportation/ commutation.

the electric vehicles by Solar PV

The col lege has purchased the energy

ef f ic ient monitors r ight f rom its incept ion.

Pr inters wi th duplex pr int ing fac i l i t y is

insta l led at the Exam Control Room and

L ibrary. There is cul ture of the two s ided

pr int ing. Paper is not wasted.

Recommendation:

Since the col lege is present ly archiving

records for 10 years of duration; college

needs to develop policy for the paper

disposal.

How does the college limit the purchase of single-serve bottles and containers?

The col lege has RO system; guests are

served wi th water f rom RO system. Single

serve bot t les are not ut i l ized unless

requested by the guest.

Is the college having water fountains/stations to promote easy filling of reusable water bottles?

Yes, the water d ispensers are connected to

output of RO sys tem. Clean and potable water

is avai lable to s taf f , s tudent and guests.

o no- to low-odor (VOC) markers

o no- to low-VOC paints? (via Facilit ies)

o paper/paper products with maximum recycled content

o refil lable pens/pencils

o compostable bags for compost collection

Conclusion:

The GHG intensive technologies are well managed.

Focus on the replacement of l ighting as per above stated

recommendation needs to be considered

Focus of the recommendation pertaining to the replacement of

central AC with evaporative cooling needs to be considered.

One sided papers are util ized by college to avoid use of fresh

papers

Policy for the disposal of Archived paper Records needs to be

formed by college

College should make provision to charge the electric vehicles by Solar

PV

11. Carbon Footprint

Has the college calculated its carbon footprint?

For the f irs t t ime col lege has calculated the carbon

footpr int . The data appl icable to Scope-2 emission

(e lec tr ic i t y purchase f rom gr id) is avai lable. The

emissions per tain ing to Scope-01 are not duly

monitored so could not be evaluated.

Recommendation of monitoring of Scope 01

Emissions:

Though not highly signif icant , the data pertaining

to Scope-01 emissions is not recorded by the

col lege. The data pertaining to diesel

consumption in the DG, amount of gas charged

into the AC system needs to be maintained.

Green Audit Report

Page | 28

Recommendation of monitoring of Scope 02

Emissions:

There is apport ioning of the electricity based on

the number of students. Dedicated electrical

meter needs to be instal led to appropriately

calculate the electr icity consumed by the col lege.

How is college promoting zero emission transportation options?

As of now there is no green transportat ion act ive,

but the col lege management is reviewing the

feas ib i l i t y of so lar PV insta l la t ion and charge the in -

campus commutat ion of guests by the same.

Are a l l the appl icable

emission sources

calculated?

The emission source perta in ing to gr id based

e lectr ic i t y source is calculated. Due to lack of

Scope-01 emiss ion source data per tain ing to DG,

corresponding emissions are not calculated for

present ver i f icat ion.
