Green Schemes

Are the Order of the DayGreen buildings are buildings that use fewer resources and have a lesser negative impact

on the environment compared to conventional buildings. They use less water, optimise

energy efciency, conserve natural resources and generate less waste without compromisingthe utility and comfort of occupiers. A green building is designed in such a manner that its

resource efciency is attained not only during its operation and maintenance but also during

other stages of its lifecycle (i.e. - construction, redevelopment, and even demolition).

Indias green building footprint has grown considerably over the past six years. Initiatives

undertaken by occupiers and developers, as well as those by state and central governments,

have driven this progress. Floor area in green buildings grew by over 50% in 009 despite an

overall sluggish macro-economic environment.

Key Corporate Occupiers Setting the Pace

Wipro, Microsoft, Cognizant, ABN AMRO and

TCS, along with other international and domestic

corporate occupiers, have either developed, or are

developing, energy efcient ofce spaces or large-

scale campuses:

LEED certication norms are being

implemented to manage Wipros building

infrastructure as part of Wipros EcoEye charter(their ecological sustainability program).

Microsoft has decided to adopt green building

techniques during renovation or construction of

new buildings in India.

Other occupiers such as Infosys, Computer

Associates and Oracle are also planning to

develop green ofce spaces to leverage the

nancial and environmental benets that they

provide.

Other sectors such as manufacturing, education,

hospital and hotels are also demanding green

spaces. Examples include:

Motorola and Modine Thermal Systems

factories are operating out of LEED certied

green buildings.

ITC has developed ITC Royal Gardenia, which

is a LEED Platinum rated building.

Lavasa Hotels has developed Hotel Fortune

Select Dasve, which is a LEED Silver rated

building.

Educational Institutes such as Hyderabad

Institute of Technology and Management in

Hyderabad, and Rane Institute for Employee

Development in Chennai are operating out of

LEED certied green buildings.

Kohinoor Group has developed Kohinoor

Hospital in Mumbai, which is a LEED Platinum

rated building.

Major Developers Commit to a Green Future

Indian Government Doing Its Part to Make Realty Greener

In the small, but growing, demand for green

building space, regional and national developers

in India have responded with an array of new

projects. Construction of new green spaces for

ofce buildings, residential units and retail malls

is currently underway in cities throughout the

country.

The beginnings of a mindset shift can be observed

with major players such as national developer K.

Raheja Corp. committing to make all new projects

LEED certied. Similarly, State Bank of India is

offering a Green Home Loan Scheme with lower

interest rates to support green residential projects.

Some noteworthy steps have been taken by central and state

authorities in India to support the environment and to help minimise

the impact that the real estate industry has upon it.

The Bureau of Indian Standards has developed the EnergyConservation Building Code (ECBC) which, along with numerous

other new policies by the Government of India, will support

energy efciency.

The Prime Minister of India has released the NAPCC (National

Action Plan on Climate Change), which reinforces the objectives

of sustainable development and will shape Indias future

development policy.

Indias Ministry of Environment and Forestry has undertaken 4

initiatives related to climate change.

The Government of India has proposed to develop all of its new

buildings as energy efcient spaces.

The state governments of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra

and Karnataka are planning to develop their own green

building byelaws.

At the recent Copenhagen Summit (COP 15), India was hailed a

climate change deal-maker, a country that takes global climate

change issues seriously. As a developing nation, India insisted that

carbon commitment pledges remain voluntary, instead of being

subject to international enforcement.

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is condent that India can

not only meet its pledge of cutting carbon emissions by 0-5 %

by 00 over 005 levels, it can improve upon it. These initiatives

clearly indicate that India is on its way to integrated sustainable

development.

Case Study - Vimta Labs

Vimta Labs, a leading contract research & testing organisation in India, has been providing support

to clients in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries across the globe since 1984. Although

headquartered in Hyderabad, Vimta Labs has a pan-India reach, with ofces and laboratories in 4

states and 8 cities. With a staff of over 750 professionals, including nearly 500 scientists across various

disciplines of life sciences, the organisation offers testing and contract research services in several elds

which include:

Clinical and pre-clinical studies

Clinical reference

Analytical testing

Advanced molecular biology

Environmental studies

The organisation is committed to the principles of sustainable development with safety, health and

environment being the top most priority areas. Vimta has implemented important green initiatives such

as recycling waste water, minimising energy consumption and reducing potable water usage.

In January 2010, Vimta Labs achieved LEED Gold certication through the Indian Green Building

Council (IGBC) for a pre-clinical laboratory, which is located within their 11 acre, 210,000 sq ft life

sciences campus in Shameerpet, Hyderabad.

Given Vimta Labs commitment to environmental protection, the concepts of sustainable design suitable

for its building type and location were taken into consideration from the pre-construction planning stage

itself. As the building was going to be a clinical testing facility, there were numerous challenges in

implementing green building techniques, including limited exibility in design and budget. The proposed

design for the project was also going to increase the energy load of the building. To avert this, Vimta,

with the assistance of Jones Lang LaSalle, put in place measures to save energy and water, and reduce

waste in the building.

Measures Undertaken to Make Vimta Labs Greener

Sustainable Sites

Buses were provided as mass transport for the employees as the alternative to public transport.

Plug points were provided as alternate refueling options for vehicles.

Heat island effect was minimized by reduction of paved areas. 60% of the site was covered by green belt.

Canopy trees were planted in the parking area to reduce the heat radiation from the paved area.

Saving Potable Water

Potable water usage has been reduced by almost 40% in the building due to high efciency plumbing

xtures.

Waste water treated in the sewerage treatment plant is used for irrigation purposes.

Rain water harvesting was also implemented in the site which provided water for irrigation and

ushing purposes.

Saving Energy

Energy efcient interior lighting, energy efcient HVAC and chillers, and solar water heaters were used

to reduce energy consumption.

A triple glazing process was used on the building to reduce the heat intake considerably.

Solar reective paints were used on the roof to reduce heat island effect in the building.

Effective Resource Utilization

Best practices in solid waste management were used for waste segregation. 95% of the constructionwaste was diverted from the site efciently.

There was increased use of recycled and refurbished materials in the building.

50% of the materials were sourced from within 500 miles from the project site to support the local

economy and minimize transportation costs.

Enhanced Indoor Air Quality

Walls were provided with air gaps to control indoor climate.

COcensors were used to monitor and enhance the indoor air quality.

Low VOC paints and MERV -17 lters used to improve indoor air quality.

Ventilation rates were increased by 30%.
