7. WATER EFFICIENCY
Harvest 100% of the rain that falls on
the building, and recycle 100% of all
the water used in the building
including waste water.
Use of waterless urinals in the
building. The urinals use biological
blocks containing particular bacteria
that reduce odour problems and
blockages in the urinals that saves 3
lakhs litres of water per annum.
Annually, storm water pits recharged
ground water by around 5500
kilolitres, and sewage treatment
plant recycled 6900 kilolitres of water
in total, limiting costs but more
importantly water use tremendously.
Interlocking tiles placed across the
landscape of the building to harvest
rain water through the grass that grows
between the tiles while ensuring 0%
surface run-off.

8. MATERIALS AND RESOURCE
 Over 40% of the materials used in the construction of ITC Green Centre was
available within 800 kilometres of the building site, which is not only cost
effective but also offers the chance of easy renewal.
 More than 10% of materials used to make work-stations, cabinets, conference
tables, wall panels and door frames was refurbished or salvaged from other
building sites.
 Over 10% of our construction material, such as glass, ceramic tiles,
steel and aluminium, used in the building are recycled.
 There are storage bins on every floor of ITC Green Centre for
recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metals,
affirming commitment to ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ and making it a
point of everyday practice.

9. CONCLUSION:

10. CONCLUSION:
ITC is the world’s largest ‘Water Positive’ corporation. The amount of rainwater
harvest regularly exceeds the total amount of water consumed by the
company’s units.
 The ‘zero discharge’ objective helps reduce fresh water intake.
 It minimizes energy consumption, brings down indirect CO2 emissions and
eliminates effluent pollution.
