This document discusses smart development through smart solutions and investment in various technologies. It focuses on glass as a building material, outlining both disadvantages like high costs and fire risks, and advantages like sustainability. It promotes glass as a smart investment when the right high-performance glass is selected using scientific and technical criteria. The document also provides an overview of an glass company that offers integrated solutions across the glass value chain to enable smart and energy efficient buildings.

7. Change in building material
Construction industry has replaced RCC with extensive use of glass without
actually understanding glass as a building material.

8. Apprehensions..
Glass is not a reliable building material.
Glass suicide in vertical

facades
Poor resistor of

11. Glass is a Sustainable material
Disadvantages Advantages

12. Food for Thought:

13. Relation: Glass and Cost
High cost
Low U-Value
Low SHGC
(Efficient
Glass)

14. SMART investment

15. Building Envelope: Design Considerations
Climate & microclimate
• Temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed/direction, landform, vegetation, water bodies, open
spaces, etc.
Building Orientation & Form
• Orientation of the building, surface-to-volume ratio and exposed surface area
Building Envelope Component Design
Area, orientation and tilt of the building envelope components
Roof form design, choice of shading devices, fenestration size, placement of windows, construction
specifications etc.
Building Material Specification
Insulating Properties (U-values, SHGC), emissivity & color/texture

16. Climatic zones in India
High temperature| Low humidity| Intense solar radiation and a generally clear sky|
Hot winds during the day and cool winds at night
Temperature is moderately high during day and night | Very high humidity and
rainfall| Diffused solar radiation if cloud cover is high and intense if sky is clear|
Calm to very high winds from prevailing wind directions
This applies when 6 months or more do not fall within any of the other categories|
High temperatures in summer and cold in winter| Low humidity in summer and high
in monsoon| High direct solar radiations in all the seasons except monsoon high
diffused radiations| Occasionally hazy sky hot winds in summer, cold winds in winter
and strong winds in monsoon
Moderate temperature| Moderate humidity and rainfall| Solar radiation same
throughout the year and sky is generally clear| High winds during summer depending
on the topography
Moderate summer temperatures and very low in winters| Low humidity in cold/sunny
and high humidity in cold/cloudy| Low precipitation in cold/sunny and high in
cold/cloudy| High solar radiation in cold/sunny and low in cold/cloudy| Cold winds
in winter
