KEY PARAMETERS
The Ascendas Pinnacle building built few years back is one of the standing examples of a non-green core and shell building
becoming a “LEED Silver” rated existing building through its various green and sustainability initiatives which not only saves
energy and cooling costs for the owner and tenants but also gives more lung space and natural light for employees working
there. En3 has done innovative work to help the IT Park get greener and achieve its LEED SILVER certification from the US Green
Building Council under Existing Buildings Category.
WATER EFFICIENCY
The project has 14 permanently installed water meters that measure the total potable water use for the entire
building, associated grounds and for irrigation and indoor plumbing fixtures and fittings sub-systems.
The project has achieved a 44.71% reduction in potable water use from the LEED-EBOM Baseline. This has been done
through retro-fitting of the existing faucets with aerators and modifying/replacing other fixtures with low flow devices
to reduce potable water consumption
Efficient Landscaping is done resulting in 100% reduction in potable water usage through use of treated water.
100% of the waste water is treated on site to tertiary standards.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The project has implemented an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing policy to ensure that all its future purchases
will include products with recycled content, those that are locally manufactured, have low VOC content or meet other
green criteria such as Green-guard certification, CRI certification etc.
The project team has performed an audit of the entire ongoing waste stream of the building and grounds and has
identified and implemented opportunities for improved waste diversion practices.
NOVELTIES
nd
The Ascendas Pinnacle building is only the 2 Multi-tenanted existing building in India to achieve the “LEED Existing Building”
th th
certification and the first in South India. It is also the 4 existing building in Chennai to be LEED certified and the 14 in India to
be certified under existing buildings. By achieving LEED Silver for a multi-tenanted building, Ascendas has shown the way that
even core and shell buildings can make improvements and achieve certification for their existing buildings with support from
all its tenants and stakeholders.
