This document provides a case study of Suzlon Energy Limited's "One Earth" green building in Pune, India. The building is LEED Platinum and GRIHA 5-star certified, making it one of the greenest corporate campuses in the world. It generates 100% of its energy needs through onsite and offsite renewable sources. Additional features include rainwater harvesting, an onsite organic waste converter, and an office design that maximizes daylight. The green building design and renewable energy integration results in approximately 35% reduced operating costs.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) expands
and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and
comfort.
• A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency,
conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier space for
occupants as compared to conventional buildings.
• Efficiently using energy, water and other resources.
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity.
• Reducing waste, pollution and environment degradation.
OBJECTIVE

3. Environment Sensitive development
Minimum Site Disturbance / Heat island effect / Minimum light pollution / Use of native plants /
CFC & HCFC free material use / Promote Public transport
Water Sensitive Approach
• Rain Water Harvesting /Use of low flow fixtures / Use of sensor based fixtures / Water
efficient Irrigation / 100 % use of sewage water / Water efficient HVAC system
Energy Conscious Approach
• Energy efficient HVAC / Energy efficient lighting / Usage of renewable energy /Sensor based
lighting and ventilation / Energy efficient electrical equipment
Eco-Friendly Material & Resources
• Minimum Construction waste / Use of regional materials / Use of rapidly renewable material
/ Recycle & reuse of material / Use of high recycle content material
Healthy & Productive Indoor environment
• Use of low emitting materials / Indoor pollutants control / Natural use of day light and view
of outdoor spaces / Increase ventilation / Minimum pollution during construction

5. SUZLON – ‘ONE EARTH’
(Renewable Energy solutions providers)
• A LEED Platinum & GRIHA 5 star certified building,
one of the greenest corporate campuses in the
world . The campus stands as a testimony to the
organizational philosophy of pursuing sustainable
development.
• Divided into inter-connected, individual buildings,
the campus houses employees, members of senior
management and the Board of Directors in its
several Lounges
• A 100% Renewable Energy Campus ,Built in-line
with its vision of powering a greener tomorrow, the
expansive, environment-friendly campus is spread
over 10 acres.

Suzlon – ‘One Earth’

7. ONE EARTH :
Features That Make It Green
. 100% powered by on-site and off-site renewable energy
including hybrid wind turbines, solar panels and photovoltaic cells
Rainwater harvesting facilities with on-site water treatment and
recycling facilities
On-site organic waste converter
‘Office in garden’ design concept which harvests maximum
daylight in work spaces and common areas
Reduction of approximately 35% in operating cost due to energy
and water cost savings, a benefit that is transferred to customers
through increased investment in technology

9. ONE EARTH :
Highlights
. 7% of the total energy consumption comes from 18 on-site hybrid wind turbines, solar panels
and photovoltaic cells and 93% of the remaining is from off-site wind turbines. This building
has 154.83kW renewable energy incorporated
The HVAC scheme is designed innovatively combining various energy efficient
components like pre-cooling of fresh air, heat recovery/exchange mechanisms to
minimise overall energy consumption.
Solar photovoltaic panels form the roof of the atrium of the learning centre, generating
green power.
The orientation of the blocks is such that the majority of building facades face north, south,
north-west & south-east. This enables adequate day lighting and glare control.
All workstations are equipped with task lighting which is governed by motion sensors turning.
Reflective pools not only connect the campus but also create a micro environment in the
campus, cooling the air ground.

12. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION @ ONE EARTH
• SITE BARRICADING
– To define boundaries & prevent damage to neighborhood.
• TOP SOIL PRESERVATION
– Excavation / excess soil disposal / handling / reuse.
• EROSION & SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
– during construction- planning for drain lines below terminus level.
• PREVENT POLLUTION OF THE AIR
– Sprinkling water on roads at pre-decided frequencies to.

13. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION @ ONE EARTH
• SPILL PREVENTION
– Use of trays, etc. as per the need for DG sets / pumps & other equipments
during handling of oil.
• WASTE MANAGEMENT
– During construction- segregation / storage / disposal of waste, etc.
• WATER USE MINIMIZATION
– use of sedimentation tank to reuse the water at central batching plant, use of
curing compounds / covering the concrete surfaces by Hessian cloth / gunny
bags as applicable to reduce the need of overall water requirement.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
