INTRODUCTION

•The building sector in India is growing at a rapid pace and contributing immensely
to the growth of the economy. This augurs well for the country and now there is an
imminent need to introduce green concepts and techniques in this sector, which
can aid growth in a sustainable manner. The green concepts and techniques in the
building sector can help address national issues like water efficiency, energy
efficiency, reduction in fossil fuel use for commuting, handling of consumer waste
and conserving natural resources. Most importantly, these concepts can enhance
occupant health, productivity and well-being.
•Against this background, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched
‘IGBC Green New Buildings rating system to address the national priorities. This
rating programme is a tool which enables the designer to apply green concepts
and reduce environmental impacts that are measurable. The rating programme
covers methodologies to cover diverse climatic zones and changing lifestyles.

CASE STUDY
Avasara Academy Lavale, Pune
Avasara Academy, a residential school campus located in the rocky
valley of Lavale in Maharashtra, consists of six similar buildings, each
with classrooms on level 1 and 2, and student dormitory and faculty
residences on level 3 and 4. Its uncompromising architecture is simple,
climate-oriented, functional, sustainable, flexible, affordable,
aesthetical, visually exciting and inclusive.

Avasara, with high ambition, a modest budget, and scrupulous attention


to detail, achieves comfortable internal condition and nearly net-zero
energy status without the use of any mechanical system despite the
warm and humid climate. Additionally, use of local resources and
passive heating-cooling systems design reduced the initial construction
cost by approximately 7% and annual energy cost by nearly 80%.

Photovoltaic solar panels on the building roof provide electricity for


ceiling fans and electric lighting in the building, while solar water
heaters provide hot water for showers. Together, this accounts for
around 85% of the energy requirement of the building.

Site Layout & Planning

The six buildings four-storeyed


rectangular blocks, organized as per
the most favorable orientation, follow
the undulating hillside acknowledging
contours and seeking the best vistas.

The campus is characterized by an


inter-connected yet informal
arrangement around pathways, courts,
gardens and terraces.

CHARCOAL FILTERS FILTERS
Façade, Envelope & Climate Responsive Massing

The building design articulates simple reinforced concrete structures, skilfully organising
the volumes in combination with shades & overhangs, and setting the stage for passive
climate strategy.

Articulated concrete construction includes the skeleton structure with reinforced


concrete floors and the prefabricated structural ceilings. This raw concrete along with
the locally sourced stone interior acts as an inert thermal mass; absorbing the solar
thermal energy during the day and releasing it again after a delay overnight, resulting in
a moderate, more consistent radiant temperature inside the building.

The reinforced concrete floors / ceilings project outwards a little, creating generous
overhangs which not only provides the facades horizontal articulation but also acts as a
form of brise soleil.

The façade is shrouded in bamboo screens with variations in the patterns based on the
façade orientation. These locally sourced and skilfully designed screens serve as sun
protection, thus preventing excessive heating of the interior from direct sunlight.

The projection / overhang results in spaces being slightly stepped back. The spaces are
attached to open corridors, deep verandas, generous semi-outdoor spaces, stairwells
and atrium, resulting in an extremely airy structure supported only in part by columns.

19
Daylighting

• The building is partly covered in bamboo screens, partly by glass surfaces, or it remains
open, rendering a blur line between the sense of enclosure and openness.

• The bamboo screen and the lightly woven blades placed on the overhangs deploy a
second skin that provide privacy, reduce glare, and give a textural quality to the interior
and exterior through a delightful play of daylight and shadows, while unifying the
architectural scheme.

20
Passive Ventilation Design

● The building is naturally ventilated using a combination of passive heating-cooling


systems, thus eliminating resource-draining mechanical systems.
● Passive heating-cooling systems are designed with earth ducts, structurally
integrated vertical cavities and solar chimneys to induce ventilation in each building,
lowering interior temperatures by 5-9°C during uncomfortably hot summer months.
● Earth ducts are 900mm dia concrete hume pipes laid between the building
foundation that run around 16 – 20 m in length underneath the building. Fresh
outdoor air sucked in these earth ducts is passively pre-cooled and then diffused into
the lower floor spaces at the floor level along the facades, enabling the air to
circulate freely in the middle of the buildings.
● Additionally, supply air enters the spaces through the strategically designed window
and the doorways.
● The vitiated air from all the spaces, due to convection, passively transfers through
the exhaust grills located at the ceiling level into three separate centrally located
exhaust cavities which are integrated in the structural core of the building and
eventually extend out as solar chimneys above roof level.
● These chimneys are wide, glazed on three sides with their rear concrete wall almost
5m high and are capped with louvered grills. This assembly is sun-driven that leads
the warm air out of the building, passively driving the entire air flow and providing
natural cooling throughout the building.

21
22
Material Palette

The building material palette highlights use of raw


concrete, local stone and timber windows with
large expanses of glazing rounded off by bamboo
mats for shading on the exteriors, use of blockwork
walls, coloured mosaic floors, teak doors, and
various pastel hues on the interiors.

This mix of material textures was carefully selected


and meticulously crafted to complement the
surroundings. The palette focused on the longevity
of the materials and cost reduction by using
recycled materials.

The majority of timber windows are recycled from


demolished structures, blockwork partition walls
are burned from fly ash, floor mosaics are made
from the remains of marble quarries, majority of
doors are made of teak from demolition objects,
and the pastel hues use natural pigments – largely
contributing towards the sustainability goals of the
project.

Minimum Fresh Air Ventilation:
(IEQ Mandatory Requirement 1)

Intent: Provide adequate outdoor air ventilation, to avoid


pollutants affecting indoor air quality.

Natural ventilation:
● Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and
removing air through a space by natural means, it
can be achieved with openable Windows or vents.
● Natural ventilation and air movement can be simply
achieved by ‘Structural controls’ as it does not
depend on any form of External energy supply or
mechanical installation.

Three forms of natural ventilation are:


1. Through ventilation
2. Cross ventilation
3. Back to back ventilation

45
1. Through ventilation:
In this method, the windows are opposite to each other, so that a
current of air may pass straight through the room.
2. Cross ventilation
In this method, the windows are so placed that a current of air
may pass diagonally across the room.
Cross ventilation is obtained by having windows in both sides of
the room, causing airflow across the space. Positive pressure on
Design Criteria for Openable Windows and / or
the windward and/or a vacuum on the lee side of the building Doors to the Exteriors
causes air movement across the room(s) from the windward to
the lee side, provided the windows on both sides of the room are
open.
3. Back to back ventilation:
Neither through ventilation nor cross ventilation takes place. It is
considered to be an unhygienic type of ventilation, since the same
air tends to be repeatedly used without being replaced.

Non Air-conditioned Spaces:


Provide operable windows and / or Doors to the exteriors, in all
regularly occupied areas, such that the operable area is designed
to meet the criteria as outlined in the Table below

46
(IEQ Mandatory Requirement 2)
Tobacco Smoke Control

Intent: Minimize exposure of non-smokers to the


adverse health impacts arising due to passive
smoking in the building.

Compliance Options:
● Demonstrate that smoking is prohibited in the
building, and is in accordance with the
regulations of Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare, Government of India.
● In case the project has assigned outdoor
smoking areas, locate such areas at a
minimum of 7.6 meters from all outdoor air
intakes (entrance doors, window openings etc.)
● Alternately, compliance can be shown through
designated smoking rooms which capture and
remove tobacco smoke from the building.

47
CASE 1. Non-Residential Projects
● Confirm that smoking is prohibited in the portions of the tenant
space not designated as a smoking space, all other building areas
served by the same HVAC system, and the common areas used by
occupants.
● Ensure that ETS cannot migrate by either mechanical or natural
ventilation from other areas of the building.
● If the occupants are permitted to smoke, provide one or more
designated smoking rooms designed to contain, capture and
remove ETS from the building.
● At a minimum, each smoking room must be directly exhausted to
the outdoors, with no recirculation of ETS-containing air to
nonsmoking areas, enclosed with impermeable
● deck-to-deck partitions, and operated at a negative pressure
compared with surrounding spaces of at least an average of 5 Pa
(0.02 inches of water gauge) and with a minimum of 1 Pa (0.004
inches of water gauge) when the doors to the smoking rooms are
closed.
● Verify performance of the smoking room's differential air
pressure by conducting 15 minutes of measurement, with a
minimum of 1 measurement every 10 seconds, of the differential
pressure in the smoking room with respect to each adjacent area
and in each adjacent vertical chase with the doors to the smoking
rooms closed.

48
CASE 2. Multi-Unit Residential Buildings

● Minimize uncontrolled pathways for ETS


transfer between individual residential units by
sealing penetrations in walls, ceilings, and floors
in the residential units and by sealing vertical
chases adjacent to the units.
● Weather-strip all doors in the residential units
leading to common hallways to minimize air
leakage into the hallway.
● Demonstrate acceptable sealing of residential
units by conducting a blower door test in
accordance with ANSI/ASTM, Standard Test
Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate by
Fan Pressurization.

CO2 monitoring (IEQ Credit 1) Points: 1

Intent: Continuously monitor and control carbon dioxide level in


the building to ensure occupant comfort and well-being.

• Accurate control of critical indoor environmental parameters


by a carbon dioxide monitor is not only essential for the well-
being and comfort of building occupants, but also has a major
impact on energy efficiency.
• A multitude of parameters can affect indoor air quality (IAQ)
from gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
volatile organic compounds to particulates, humidity and
bacteria such as legionella. Carbon dioxide is one of the greatest
variables affecting indoor environmental quality since it is
produced by people occupying the building and is also a good • Excess carbon dioxide levels can lead to tiredness and
indication of the general level of the other pollutants within a lack of concentration and can contribute to the
buildings. symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome such as
headaches, eye, nose and throat irritation, itchy skin
and nausea. CO₂ monitoring to determine carbon
dioxide levels is therefore an intrinsic part of indoor
environmental quality strategies such as demand
control ventilation.

Day lighting (IEQ Credit 2) Points: 1-2

Intent:
Ensure connectivity between the interior and the exterior environment, by
providing adequate day lighting.

Compliance Options: The project can choose any one of the following
options or a combination, to show compliance:
Option 1 - Simulation Approach
Option 2 - Measurement Approach

Option 1: Simulation Approach Demonstrate through computer simulation


that 75% of the regularly occupied spaces in the building achieve daylight
illuminance levels for a minimum of 110 Lux (and a maximum of 1,100 Lux)
Areas with 1,100 Lux or more daylight illumination levels should not be
considered.
Option 2: Measurement Approach Demonstrate through daylight
illuminance measurement that 75% of the regularly occupied spaces in the
building achieve daylight illuminance levels for a minimum of 110 Lux.
Areas with 1,100 Lux or more daylight illumination levels shall be not
considered. Measurements shall be taken after installation of furniture,
equipment & systems at work plane height at 9 am, 12 pm, and 3 pm, on a
10-foot square grid. To show compliance, consider the average of the
measurements taken at 9 am, 12 pm, and 3 pm
51
Orientation of building
• The orientation of building is very important to
achieve maximum daylight
• If the length of the building is oriented in an East-
West axis, it will allow penetration of passive heating
or cooling within the building
• A North-South façade is better as it allows
penetration of good daylight by avoiding glare and
overheating.
• Designers could decide which rooms need direct or
indirect sun-light and requirement of the quantity of
heat loss or heat gain.

Case Study-The Energy Research Institute (TERI), Bangalore, India

Indoor environmental quality enhancement:


● Indoor Environmental quality is very well achieved with the help of non VOC Paints and local flooring material
with less embodied energy.
● Indoor air quality is very well maintained with effective technique and Use of cavity wall in south to heat up the
interior air.
● Occupant comfort is achieved with CONDUCTION & RADIATION as external agent BODY HEAT & AIR FLOW as
internal agent

● Plants are being used in the interior common connecting spaces for refreshment and air Circulation .
● Proper maintenances is taken care in the interior to make an HYGIENIC living
● North ligating is provided for glare less lighting system, and it's made to be used in the workspace areas.
● Mixed use of vegetation is been used to make the campus green and fresh .
● Solar Chimney plays a major role in maintain constant air flow in the interior
● Ventilation plays a major role in creating comfortness in the interior

60
Ventilation Analysis:
● The primary winds blow from the south to north over the nallah, hence the building needs to react to this if,
the foul unhygienic air has to be prevented from entering the building .
● Thus, the development of the south wall was a prime design factor in achieving this purpose.
● Here the south wall has was treated as an independent system linking the rear walls of the building over a
cavity
● This cavity creates a negative pressure setting up the convectional currents. The entire systems work very
effectively in generating the desired reverse wind circulation.
● The blank wall carries a system of cudappa. The color black was deliberately chosen because of its heat
absorptive power, which is the highest among all colors.
● The working of the system is very simple. The sun’s rays heat the black south wall increasing the temperature
of the immediate environment around.
● This causes the air in the cavity to rise upwards naturally. These convectional currents are blown away by the
winds blowing south to north.
