SITE PLANING 2
Energy Renewable
Waste Management
Since there was no landscape in the form of trees none coud be preserved but landscape has b
Added since the construction.
More of grass has been used rather than hard landscape
Bahia grass has been used that is available locally,has high salinity tolerance and can consume
It practically requires no maintenance
3>Soil Conservation
Soil present in this location is shale soil that is shallow, fine textured, acidic and low in nutrient
It is conserved in most places and removed only to provide pathways and only a limited amoun
Of ground floor parking has been given
It was preserved with silt fences and sediment ponds
In order to improve the conditions of the soil, supplements have been given to loosen and aera
The soil to improve the moisture & butrient retention factor
Existing site features were only the ground with soil and a few grassy areas that has been pres
The optimum
The existing features were also improved and other landscape in the form of trees, shrubs,plan
Been added
Hard landscape has been used minimally in the form of gravel,rock stone & concrete only to
Provide pathways thereby reducing the storm water run-off
6> Enhance outdoor lighting system efficiency
The street lamps that have been used have light-sensitive photocells to turn them on at dusk
or activate automatically in dark weather.
These lights have reflectors to make more efficient use of the light source and help reduce ligh
Outdoor Solar lighting has been used in a few places
HPMV Lights have been used for street lighting and Metal Halides have been used in the park a
Pool areas which have higher efficacy
Minimum walkways have been provided and the rest have preserved the existing soil and adde
Features in the form of trees, shrubs, plants etc
Corridors around utilities such as plumbing services AC plant etc have been kept to a minimun
Locally available grasses such as Bahia grass was used which is drought
Resistant
Plants have been chosen that require less water for growing thereby
Reducing the maintenance(Lavendor, Rosemary)
Effiecient watering methods have been adopted such as trickle irrigation
Native trees such as oak and pine that requie less water and provide
Good shade have been planted and grown
Ultra Low water effiecient plumbinf fixtures have been integrated into the building
Water conserving cooling towers were designed with delimiters to reduce drift &
evaporation
Water Sense labeled products used to detect leakage
Annual checks performs for plumbing fixtures, caulking around pipes done
Wastewater treatment done on site
In rooms where mechanical HVAC was not provided, good thermal comfort has been
ensured by proper natural ventilation through large glass windows and open
Spaces
The outdoor temperature would be quite pleasant due to the presence of water
Bodies in close proximity
Fly ash was used for the construction of bricks,concrete blocks , road construction ,landfill
application and ceramics that were used in the interiors were also made with fly ash
In many of the apartments bamboo floors , bamboo mats and furniture has been used
which reduced the cost of construction and emission of Co2 level.
Instead of wood flooring vinyl flooring has been used to preserve natural materials
ENERGY RENEWABLE
Have provided renewable energy system with capacity equivalent to 1% of connected load
for lighting and space conditioning.
Meet energy requirements for a minimum of 5% of the internal lighting load (for general
lighting) or its equivalent from renewable energy sources (solar, wind,biomass, fuel cells,
etc).
Energy requirements will be calculated based on realistic assumptions
which will be subject to verification during appraisal.
50% of the annual energy required for heating water is achieved through solar energy.
A waste water treatment plant is present in the basement where all the domestic /house
hold wastes are
treated
The treated effluents are used for watering plants and in toilets
WASTE MANAGEMENT
The formwork used was made of steel which can be reused again
On site sepearation was primarily done in order for recycling to take place
High quality products were used to reduce rejects
Many products used such as masonry, doors, windows, paper wood etc were recycled for
the project
Two chutes have been provided for the residents of the apartment to segregate and dump
recyclable and non recyclable wastes into their respective chutes
These bins have been color coded
All the wastes are collectively kept in an enclosed space that runs down from the chute
The wastes are removed at regular intervals
Recycled glass, plastic , metal and paper have been effectively used in the exterior and
the interior of the project
Education regarding recycling is also important in order to educate the future generation
Resource recovery systems were employed for biodegradable waste as per the Solid
Waste Management and handling Rules, 2000 of the MoEF.
Groundwater and municipal water meet the water quality norms as prescribed in the
Indian Standards for various applications (Indian Standards for drinking [IS 10500-1991],
In worst cases treatment of raw water for achieving the desired concentration is performed
Ramps in the ratio of 1:10 have been provided at all entry points
Elevators at all floors
Single unit can be modified to adjust and add the requirements of a disabled
