The document discusses the requirements and design principles for an eco-industrial park. It aims to integrate industries within the park to allow for sharing of resources and byproducts in an environmentally sustainable way. Key requirements include including facilities like a plastic recycler, paper plant, sugar industry and related infrastructure, waste management systems, power plants, administrative buildings, housing, and security. Design principles focus on energy and resource efficiency, reuse and recycling, and minimizing environmental impacts.

CHAPTER NO.8
REQUIRMENTS TO DESIGN AN ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARK
8.1 FEASIBILITY OF AN ECO INDUSTRIAL PARK
The design of an industrial park with low energy Consumption and energy
integration between the manufacturing and residential buildings. In addition, the diffusion
of low energy consumption buildings concepts in Pakistan. The concept of the project is
to utilize the industrial waste to produce new products. The waste of one industry is the
gold for another industry.
The eco-industrial park is a sector of industrial ecology, which draws analogies from
natural ecosystems to human industrial systems. The most important viewpoints are
closing the material flows and energy cascading. An eco-industrial park is clearly defined
areas where materials, energy and information exchange occur between various
companies and actors. Implementing an eco-industrial park can bring environmental,
social and economic benefits. Material and energy exchanges between different actors in
the area can evolve by themselves over a long period of time .On the other hand, eco-
industrial parks can be intentionally planned for a totally new area.
8.2 OBJECTIVE OF FEASIBILITY OF AN ECO INDUSTRIAL PARK
 Integrate the area into the local environment through site responsive design which
recognizes, protects and where possible rehabilitates important landscapes,
landforms, natural areas and hydrological systems.
 Minimize energy use and green gases emissions by reducing the need for bulk
earthworks maximizing transport networks, optimizing block orientation and shade
trees and vegetation.
 Resolve the problem energy by using solar cells .
 Maximize the opportunities for efficient use, reuse and recycling of water resources
and ensure appropriate management of storm water quality and quantity.
 Promote the use of renewable resources for energy generation and construction of
infrastructure.
 Maximize the opportunities for efficient storage reuse and recycling of waste.

 Incorporate technological capability, efficiency and pollution to the provision of
services and infrastructures.
 Develop strategies to build relationship between the industrial area and surrounding
community includes product demand and supply as well as social employment
networks.
8.3 ECO-INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Design issues are a key feature in the ability of any eco-industrial development
project with their impact on the environment and work force. Design refers largely to the
physical layout of the industrial park and the buildings including both interior and
exterior elements. Incorporating sustainable design principles such as energy efficiency
and indoor workspace quality has been shown to increase productivity, which can offset
higher rent or installation costs. Designing eco-industrial development begins during the
initial stage of developing vision and goals. In traditional industrial parks, designing the
park involves the extension of infrastructure to the site and permit approvals for industrial
buildings and uses. More advanced design processes include site planning for building
footprints and possibly creating a planned industrial development zone. One reason for
this design approach for traditional industrial parks is that many industrial users have
very particular specifications for their operations.
8.4 DESIGNING SYNERGIES
The unique design approach of an eco-industrial park is that it also considers
environmental and social issues up front in the design process. Up-front planning for
businesses can help to ensure that eco-industrial development buildings and spaces are
"better" than traditional industrial development while taking into consideration the unique
needs of various industrial users. They are better because they are more productive and
healthier, they aim at overall cost savings for tenants and developers, and they can
compete in local markets because of their advantages. Eco-industrial development is
keenly aware of the need for functional space, but also acknowledges that development is
connected with the community and the environment. In some cases, people have begun to
take this approach because of increasing environmental regulations, such as air quality,
wetlands, transportation impacts, and water quality legislation, which are all connected

with fairly onerous permit requirements. Most design considerations that avoid triggering
permit requirements are advantageous (i.e. avoiding wetlands on a site) No ready-made
design guide exists for eco-industrial development. In fact, the primary difference
between eco-industrial development and traditional industrial development is that much
consideration be given to the specifics of the site and community to establish a design.
Another factor is the potential for interconnectedness between industry and fostering the
potential for networking.
8.5 BUILDING DESIGN
Important elements of eco-industrial parks are buildings for production facilities,
offices and utilities. Many planners are not aware of the fact that buildings, once not used
anymore, are the largest waste stream we produce. If hazardous materials contaminate
building material, it needs to be disposed of as hazardous waste, adding tremendous costs
to the life cycle of a building. In Europe and in the US many public buildings were
constructed in the 1960s and 70s by using asbestos and PCBs for fire retention. These
materials are not only problematic in their disposal but also toxic while the building is
still being used, polluting the indoor air and causing long-term health problems if inhaled.
Paints and adhesives that are being applied to indoor surfaces usually emit their solvents
over time. If these solvents or other components are toxic they also are emitted into the
ambient indoor air.
