2. SOHRABJI GODREJ GREEN BUSINESS CENTRE
 INTRODUCTION:
The Confederation of Indian industry(CII)– Sohrabi Godrej green buisness centre in Hyderabad is the first LEED Platinum rated
building in India,
 It’s an Office building which consists of Offices, Research labs and Conference rooms.
 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS :
 Location : Hyderabad ,
 Site area : 4.5 acres ,

 Type : Office building ,
 Architect : Karan Grover ,
 Landscape Architect : Md. Shaheer ,
Ratings : Awarded the LEED Platinum rating by the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC) in November 2003.
 THERE ARE TOTAL 5 FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE SUSTAINABILTY
OF GREEN BUILDING :

3.  SUSTAINABLE SITE
 INTRODUCTION :
 Easily accessble from Main Road,
Surrounded by medium sized commercial buildings,
 It has natural vegetations & water bodies,
 Less prone to pollution,
 Sloped in North-West direction.
 ENERGY EFFICIENCY
 ORIENTATION:
 South – East direction
 The climate of Hyderabad remains fairly warm most
of the year,
 Receive less rainfall in the monsoon.
 ELECTRICITY :
Use of Solar photovoltaic cells
on the rooftop grid provides
about 24KW or 16 % of the
building's electricity needs.
on the roof
to capture
Placed appropriately
facing South and West
maximum heat gain

4.  LIGHTING :
GLAZING
 North facades are fully glazed for efficient natural lights,
 Low heat transmitting glass used,
 Double glass to further reduce heat gain
JAALI WALLS
Jaali walls which are good source of light has been used in
the passage of washroom,
to wall as
 Shading from trees are provided adjacent
sunlight directly enter the wall,
 Open courtyard provide natural light.
 LANDSCAPE :
GROUND HUGGING
 Building(G+1) is kept ground
hugging gives a sense of being
close to nature.
GREEN ROOF
Roof Gardens cover 55 % of the
exposed roof area of the building
– high reduction of heat gain

6.  WATER EFFICIENCY
 Rain Water Harvest :
use of grid pavers used on
 Some rainwater goes into the soil by the
roads for easy drainage of water,
 The remaining rainwater follows existing flow patterns and
is collected in the water pond.
 WASTE WATER TREATMENT :
 All wastewater generated - recycled by
"root zone treatment“,
 The treated water is used for landscaping.
 INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
 WIND TOWERS
 Fresh air is also drawn into
the building through Wind
towers.
 LOW VOC
 The use of low volatile
organic compound (VOC)
and coatings to
the Indoor air
paints
enhance
quality.
 COURTYARD
 The courtyard provides
the ventilations inside the
building.
 JAALI WALLS
 The Jaali walls provides
the ventilations inside the
building.

7.  MATERIALS & RESOURCES
 FLY ASH BRICKS
 65% walls are constructed
with Fly ash bricks.
 Features :
 Costs 20% less than traditional clay brick manufacturing,
 Lighter than clay bricks,
 High strength, practically no breakage during transport,
 High recycled content.
 BAGASSE BOARD
 A byproduct of sugarcane industry,
 Low cost, durable,
 It has wide usage for making partitions, furniture etc.
 A waste management plan ensured that 95 % of construction waste
was recycled.
 INDUSTRIAL WASTE
 Broken glass, broken tiles, broken stones, recycled paper, recycled
aluminum.
The lawn trays are entirely made of recycled
plastic waste
The floor tiles is used from broken tiles, clay,
paper.
Recycled Iron is used in the
corridor.
