INTERIORS

The voluntary pursuit of any activity, which encompasses concern for energy efficiency, environment, water conservation and use of

recycled products & renewable energy, can be defined as "Green".

 

SUSTAINABLE AND ECOFRIENDLY INTERIORS

WHY GO GREEN ?

EARTH... OUR HOME FUTURE GENERATIONS

WE HAVE TO STOP BEING CRIMINAL AND INSENSITIVE

How to Start….

WHAT MAKES A FABRIC “ECO-FRIENDLY”?

• Minimum use of chemicals and pesticides• Best land management practices

• Sustainable farming practices· Eco-friendly certification

• Animal friendly• Production adheres to fair trade practices

ENERGY CONSERVATION

FEATURES

• 40 % saving in power consumption•30 % saving in water consumption• All power equipments proposed to be run CENTRALLY• Use of clean energy ( natural gas) for power and air-

conditioning• Extensive use of natural day-light through unique

planning ( 3 atriums )• Bio-waste management for kitchen•Extensive use of environment-friendly recycled material

• High COP (Low IKW / TR), Vapour absorption machines(VAM) using waste heat generated through gas genset exhaust as heat source to generate chilled water – satisfying half of the building load

• Variable speed drive on all AHUs and large ventilation fans

• Variable air volume system comprising of VAV boxes for Board Room, Meeting rooms and cabins

• Car park exhaust system equipped with CO (Carbon Monoxide) sensors

• Double-skinned Air Handling Units

Air–conditioning & Ventilation System

• Heat recovery wheels for pre cooling fresh air by using the waste exhaust air from toilet etc

• Indoor air quality sensors in office Areas to modulate the fresh air quantity entering in AHU room through the use of motorized modulating volume control dampers in fresh air Louvers

• Variable speed secondary chilled water distribution system

• Selection of highly efficient fans for air handling units and ventilation system

Air–conditioning & Ventilation System

Electrical & LV Systems

• Timers and photo-electric sensors to be used to switch ON / OFF external landscape and facade lighting

• Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL’s) with high frequency ballast to be used for corridors and BOH areas

• Energy efficient fluorescent tube lights (T-5) to be used

• All fluorescent light fixtures are specified to incorporate electronic chokes which have less watt-loss compared to electro-magnetic chokes and result in superior operating power factor

Electrical & LV Systems

• Dimmers shall be provided for public area

• Motion sensors shall be provided for corridors lighting

• Photo electric sensors and occupancy sensor shall be provided in the office spaces

• An APFC relay based on thyristor switching is proposed to effect the power factor correction / improvement within a few cycles of deviation from the setting & also to reduce inrush currents

• All cables shall be derated to avoid heating during use

• VFD based hydro-pneumatic system

• Pumps & equipment selected on “best” energy efficiency point

• Pressure reducing valves shall be provided where abnormally high pressures are envisaged

• Appropriate flow restrictors shall be provided for economizing on water consumption

• Automatic air vent shall be provided on cold water risers to ensure efficient water flow

Water Supply & Plumbing

• All water closets shall have cisterns of 4 to 5 litres capacity ( < 1.3 Gallons per flush)

• All running taps shall have flow less than 1.2 Gallons per minute

• Urinal < 0.5 GPF based on automatic sensors

• Hot water return piping shall be provided to minimize hot water delay time thus benefiting in water & energy conservation

Integrated BMS• Computer based system controls and monitors Electo-

mechanical equipments - AHUs, Chillers, Lighting, Power Systems, Fire Systems, Pumps & Water Management systems, Lifts, Video Surveillance, Access Control etc.

• BMS manages the environment conditions & helps limit and regulate Energy consumption with minimal human intervention.

• Lights, Cooling/Heating parameters are connected to BMS through Occupancy Sensors. Due to this, energy is not wasted, when areas of building are left empty.

DYSON AIRBLADE

• A comparative test found that both paper towels and the Airblade dried hands fast,

achieving 90% dryness in about ten seconds, supporting Dyson's claim of ten seconds

drying time. A conventional warm air dryer took 47 seconds.

CONCLUSION

“Regardless of how efficiently we use resources, if design doesn’t inspire people, it will not last. If we get it right, sustainable design promises to bring art and science

together.” – Lance Hosey, co-chair, Architecture of Sustainability conference

WE DESIGN.

SO ...ITS UPON OUR SHOULDERS
