impact on the natural
environment:
Sustainable Site Planning:
• 5 trees existed on site and all
were preserved. In addition, the
project planted 292 native trees to
enhance microclimate of the area.
• Air pollution control measures
such as site barricading, coverage
of dusty material, wheel washing
and water sprinkling were
implemented during construction.

THE
BRITISH
SCHOOL
• 50% of the school be
non-air-conditioned with
traditional passive
methods used to temper
the environment and
optimize energy
consumption, creating
an environmentally
experiential learning
environment.

chajjas (deep
overhangs) and
verandahs provide
opportunities for
students to engage with
the environment and
nature.

than 56.05% -
landscape water
demand by use of
sprinklers.
• Reduction of 65.3%
- water use by
installing water
efficient flush and
flow fixtures.
• Construction water
requirement was
minimized to large
extent by adopting
curing through
gunny bags.
• EPI reduction of 73%
from GRIHA benchmark
has been demonstrated.
• 62% of the habitable
spaces are day lit and
meet the daylight factors.
• 12.54% is the window to
wall ratio of the project.
40 kWp rated capacity
solar PV panels have
been installed on site.
• Rated capacity of solar PV
meets more than 30% of
internal lighting and
HVAC load of the project.
• Solar water heaters have
been installed to meet hot
water requirement.
• 92% of ceiling
materials used in the
project which include
Gypsum, Bison Board,
and Perforated
Gypsum Board are
low-energy materials.
• Kota stone and
terrazzo flooring have
been used for more
than 70% of flooring
in the school.
• Designed
opening are
double skin i.e.
jaalis and
window.
• Jaalis pattern to
cut out harsh
sunlight .

• 84-acre preserve.
• Offices, interactive gallery space, classrooms, a
laboratory, conference rooms, a gift shop, and
support space.
The Watershed's mission includes stewardship of the
land, advocacy, education, and research on water
related environmental issues.
• The geometry of the new building incorporates an
existing house and forms a central garden courtyard
with series of features intended to convey the role of
water and the hydrological cycle.
• These include an evacuated tube solar hot water
array, used as a sunscreen, a linear green roof, a
rain garden, and an elaborated roof scupper that
focuses a cascade of water on locally quarried
stone.
• Other water features include rain water harvesting
tanks, bioswales, a constructed wetland wastewater
treatment system, and a geothermal system. Water
throughout the complex is monitored and depicted
in educational exhibits.
The platinum certified building features on site
renewable energy with
• a roof mounted solar array and electric
heat pump system.
The Center is expected to be close to energy
net zero performance.
It received five out of five credits for innovation
in design and 31 of 35 credits in Energy and
Atmosphere.
• Its materials include FSC certified wood,
cypress siding, exposed aggregate
concrete, and cellulose insulation.
• The interior of the building has been
carefully modeled for daylight
performance, with windows placed in
clerestory and north locations to naturally
light galleries, classrooms, and laboratory.

• Site strategies
included a reduction
of lawn area,
introduction of
meadow and native
species with no
irrigation
requirements, new
bioswales in existing
parking and
provision for
alternative
transportation
modes.
• The building
materials are
extensively
composed of
recycled and
sustainably
produced products,
with recycled steel,
exhibit cases and
casework, FSC
cypress, cotton
insulation, and
acoustic treatment.
• These include an
evacuated tube
solar hot water
array, used as a
sunscreen, a linear
green roof, a rain
garden, and an
elaborated roof
scupper that focuses
a cascade of water
on locally quarried
stone. This last
feature makes
visible the impact of
precipitation,
surface runoff, and
recharge, and
reiterates the
mountain and valley
topography of this
landscape.
• The geothermal heat
pump system does not
use fossil fuel and is
supplemented by an
evacuated solar tube
system that provides
domestic hot water.
• Demand control
ventilation and operable
windows provide natural
ventilation.
• Special consideration had
been given to natural
lighting in place of
electric lighting, with roof
monitors providing
reflected light into
significant program
spaces.
• A high performance
envelope with green roof,
high U-value insulation,
and building orientation
minimizes energy
requirement.
• The building materials
are extensively
composed of recycled
and sustainably
produced products,
with recycled steel,
exhibit cases and

• The 44 inches of
annual rainfall
has to be
managed with a
variety of
demonstrable
strategies
including green
roof retention, a
collector and
cascade roof
structure that
recharges
through a rain
garden, rain
barrels, cistern for
greywater use, an
open loop
geothermal
system and an
innovative
constructed
wetland system
that features
tertiary effluent
treatment through
natural
processes.
GOVARDHAN ECO VILLAGE
Location: Wada, Maharashtra.
Type: Residential / Mixed-use
RURAL - VERNACULAR
SITE:
The site is located 100 kms north of
Mumbai, in a rural area at the foot hills of
the Sahyadris, and lies between the hill
Kohoj Gad and the river Vaitarna.
The key feature of this project is the use of stabilized mud bricks and
CSEB ‘U’ Blocks. Other sustainable materials used here include CSEB
tiles, timber and bamboo. Mangalore tiles dominate the roof of the
whole project scheme.

• Hydrogeological study provided
us with clear recharge and
discharge zones suggesting the
extraction pattern with respect to
quantity available. This was the
basis for the overall site planning
with respect to buildings, services
and roads.
• With on-site treatment of waste
water, nutrient rich water is now
available throughout the year and
food is grown even in summer
months.
• As the location was far from
manufacturing base the site was
mapped for availability of earth
for making of buildings and
through expert skill transfer the
future constructions are
possible.
• The ponds and water bodies
were made in the areas where
soil was suitable for earth
construction.
• The key feature of this project is
the use of stabilized mud bricks
and CSEB ‘U’ Blocks. Other
sustainable materials used here
include CSEB tiles, timber and
bamboo. Mangalore tiles
dominate the roof of the whole
project scheme.
• Various approaches to
use of earth as
construction material has
been tried here and
different techniques are
employed depending
upon the use of the space
and the skill of the
builder.
• Through introduction of
precast construction, U-
Block lintels, and
standardization of
building elements like
arches and windows
speeded the construction
process thereby reducing
the of construction.
• The first phase was built
using skilled masons from
Bangalore. In the
subsequent phases, the
local mason’s picked up
the skills of using
alternate technologies
and are now working on
projects outside of GEV,
using these technologies.
