Design Drivers for the unit

The design of the unit type has
been a resultant of many
drivers
• Orientation
• A central social space
• The west façade
• An interconnecting volume
COOL ROOF
CROSS VENTILATION
Climatically Responsive Homes
Welcoming Double Space in your Living Room
Socio-Climatic Drivers:
Double height space integrating the two floors to experience the
volume.
Climate Analysis
Air conditioning is
essential through
out the year to
achieve thermal
comfort; which
would be achieved
through Nonconventional Green
methods.
High health value
for Occupants…
Central Free-flowing Spaces
Free-flowing plans that offer rooms without walls, customizable to have
no walls to walled private spaces as per your choice
Bring the green into your Homes
• Green indoor gardens, green outdoor courts, surround you with
healthy, clean air
Luxurious Master Toilet
A toilet lit by a skylight,
having a green patch
of a garden inside and
walk in cupboards to a
dry side…a haven in
itself.
Living amongst green for the rest of your lives…

Energy Management Strategy
Green Air conditioning
• ACs are to be used only when
you need it. And so these
homes at BCIL Zed Earth have
been provided with 36 Watt low
energy ceiling fans that reduce
power consumption by a
chunky 25%. Washrooms offer
energy-efficient ventilators.
• Energy-efficient air-conditioning
that is innovative, easy-to-run,
and saves 50 per cent on
monthly energy bills.

Hot water with zero energy bills…
• Every home at BCIL Zed Earth
comes complete with a solar
thermal hot water supply
system. It’s backed up by a
provision for a 15-litre, energyefficient geyser you can fit
optionally in each washroom.

Having a conscience by being conscious
• With an on site water treatment
plant at BCIL Zed Earth, you can
drink water straight off the tap.
• Zed Earth hosts taps and showers
that save you 105,000 liters a year,
while offering you the best of
comfort on water at home.
• Information is key to sustainable
living. As an educational aid, every
home comes with one water flow
meter that record and display the
consumption of water. Only if you
ask…
Waste water no more a waste…
• Waste water leaving your home is treated at the Sewage Treatment
Plant (STP) and looped back into the system for irrigation of all plants
on campus.
Do not do a NIMBY with waste…
• Kitchen waste from each
home is sent (once
segregated at home) to a
natural compost-making
unit.
• To ensure effective waste
management, separate
community bins for Paper,
Plastic, Glass, e-waste,
toxic waste and other nonrecyclables are provided
in the common areas.
Cleaner air within
Living amongst green for the rest of your lives…
• Every home at BCIL Zed Earth
comes with a private gardeneco -scaped with carefully
chosen native species that
require less water and
maintenance.
• These gardens and the
common campus plants offer
you carbon sinks that offer
you a chance to secure
carbon-neutrality on your
lifestyle and carbon emission.
We help you:
grow your own water
harness your own energy
grow your own food
… at no extra capital cost
… at no extra selling price
… at a saving of 30% for end-user

ZED. Not end of the Alphabet.
The beginning of a new language.
