Certain key decisions were taken by the design and construction teams to conceptualise a green building which instills a sense of environmental responsibility and ecological consciousness in young ones.

Reuse of resources and building material.

All virgin building materials used, have optimum recycled content as permitted by design and structural requirements.

All building materials are being procured from within an Eight hundred kilometer radius from the site to reduce energy spent on transportation.

Construction site has a commitment to “Zero waste management” during construction.

Alternative fuel transport (Compressed Natural Gas Buses) for all kids and teachers.

Building envelope, orientation, fenestrations and HVAC system are designed in collaboration to ensure minimization of energy requirement for thermal comfort.

Fenestrations are designed to let in maximum daylight to reduce energy requirement for lighting fixtures.

Zero waste water management plan. All grey water is reused for flushing and landscaping.

GREEN AGENDA

GREEN AGENDA RESOURCE REUSE – Tar road at site was removed, transported to a nearby storage facility and brought back to be re-used as sub-base filling. REMOVAL TRANSPORTATION STORAGE REUSE Old bricks are sourced from near by demolition sites and reused. DEMOLITION SORTING TRANSPORTATION REUSE

GREEN AGENDA Maximise daylight in classrooms – 250 lux (23 foot-candles) achieved in 95% areas in all classrooms and normally occupied spaces. INSIDE OUTSIDE DAYLIGHTING ANALYSIS FOR 21 JUNE AT 12 PM
