    The building comprises of the following:

    Over the years the Institute has developed a wider interpretation of this core purpose and itsapplication. Consequently, TERI has created an environment that is enabling, dynamic and

    inspiring for the development of solutions to global problems in the fields of energy,

    environment and current patterns of development, which are largely unsustainable. TheInstitute has grown substantially over the years, particularly, since it launched its own

    research activities and established a base in New Delhi, its registered headquarters. Thecentral element of TERIs philosophy has been its reliance on entrepreneurial skills to createbenefits for society through the development and dissemination of intellectual property. The

    strength of the Institute lies in not only identifying and articulating intellectual challenges

    straddling a number of disciplines of knowledge but also in mounting research, training anddemonstration projects leading to development of specific problem-based advanced

    technologies that help carry benefits to society at large.

    TERI's headquarter is located within the India Habitat Centre complex, one of the best and

    well known addresses in Delhi. It has a 7-storey building, with a total floor space of 5500

    square metres. This building houses first-rate laboratory facilities particularly for advanced

    research in biotechnology, microbiology, tissue culture, indoor air pollution, water quality,

    The University puts its theory to practice by building an energy efficient campus showcasing the

    concept of modern green buildings. Besides an innovative, energy saving architectural design,

    the building is equipped with a number of other cutting edge technologies that help reduce the

    energy consumption by 60% and potable water use by 25%.The campus is equipped with threetypes of cooling systems:

    1. the Earth Air Tunnel (EAT)

    2. Variable Refrigerant Volume System (VRV)

    3. Thermal Mass Storage (TMS).

    The EAT used in the hostel block uses the heat sink property of the earth to maintain

    comfortable temperatures inside the building, saving up to 50% energy as compared to the

    conventional system.

    Tata Energy Resource Institute

    It makes full use of the most abundant source of energy, the sun, by tapping its energy both

    directly and indirectly. Some innovative ways of tapping solar energy and using energy more

    efficiently at the RETREAT are as follows.

    Solar water heaters

    Photovoltaic panels

    Biomass Gasifier for power generation Underground earth air tunnels for Air Conditioning

    Absorption chillers

    Energy-efficient lighting

    Waste-water recycling

    RETREAT

    RETREAT, a residential training facility for executives, is designed to be self-sufficient, and

    independent of any external power supply. It consists of two semi-circular blocks arranged one

    behind the other. The south block comprises the living quarters with 24 single-occupancy rooms

    and 6 suites and the north block comprises the conference centre with a large hall, a dining

    room, a lounge, recreational facilities, and a library.

    The complex saves 40%-50% of energy costs over conventionally designed buildings at an

    additional investment of about 25%.

    Twenty-four solar water-heating panels (inclined at 70 degrees instead of 45 degrees) provide up

    to 2000 litres of hot water every day.

    Photovoltaic panels capture the sun energy and recharge their batteries during the day. The

    energy generated by the panels is fed into a battery bank, which is the main source of power at

    night.

    Firewood, dried leaves and twigs, the stubble left in the field after a crop is harvested, and

    such other forms of biomass fuel the 50-kilowatt gratifier that is the source of power for the

    building during the day.

    Effective insulation, shade provided by trees, and a network of underground earth air tunnels

    circulating cool subterranean air throughout the residential block ensure that the temperature in

    the complex remains more or less even all year round at 20 C in winter, 28 C in the dry

    summer, and 30 C in the monsoon. The system has been augmented by adding chillers for

    dehumidification and additional cooling during the monsoon.

    Specially designed skylights, energy-efficient lights, and a sophisticated system of

    monitoring and controlling the consumption of electricity, light up the complex with less than 10

    kilowatts; a comparable conventionally designed structure would require nearly 28 kilowatts to

    provide the same level of lighting.

    A bed of reed plants (Phragmytes) clarifies 5 cubic metres of waste water from the toilets and

    kitchen every day; the recycled water is used for irrigation.

    The estimated CO2 saving is about 570 tonnes/year.

    such light has a pair of small photovoltaic panels (roughly a metre wide and half a metre tall) and

    is thus a self-sufficient stand-alone unit.

    The sun is the powering force of RETREAT, where solar panels are used to form a 'solar roof

    RETREAT is totally independent of the city's grid system and nearly completely independent of the

    city's services and infrastructure. Moreover the energy planning in the building has led to a reduced

    load of 96 kW (peak) from a conventional 280 kW (peak), showing a saving of 184 kW (peak).

    The basic design vectors involved in the planning process are

    to integrate the functionality of the building with energy applications,to minimize energy demand in the building through architectural intervention (e.g. passive

    concepts such as solar orientation, latticework for shading, insulation, and landscaping),

    to meet the space-conditioning and lighting demands through energy-efficient systems, andto

    meet a portion of the electric energy demands using renewable energy sources.

    Aim

    Energy manifests itself in a variety of different forms and plays a central role in our lives. Prevailin

    globally adopted strategies of economic development are essentially based on excessive consumption o

    energy derived from fossil fuels. Moreover, for the required improvement in the quality of lives of th

    large population living in developing countries it is necessary to substantially enhance per capita energavailability. The rapid escalation of global crude oil prices is bound to increase the pressure on oi

    importing developing countries with respect to foreign exchange requirement and balance of payments.

    Moreover the adverse environmental impacts of fossil fuel extraction, conversion and utilization hav

    also posed serious sustainability related threats before the mankind. As a consequence, energy is n

    longer a simple issue. With a phenomenal expansion of energy industries the technical occupatio

    associated with energy extraction, conversion, transmission, distribution and utilization have change

    considerably.

    Environmental protection has become one of the main themes while discussing the future energy

    supply. Global aspects such as greenhouse effect or protection of the earths atmosphere are being

    considered seriously. One has to consider ways and means of reducing or completely avoiding the

    environment polluting emissions at each stage of energy conversion processes. Energy supply and

    environmental protection are an inseparable unit and an energy engineer will have to take cognizance

    of the same. Technology evaluation and community acceptance determine his work and his

    consciousness in the same measure as the dominance of his technical ability.

    In view of the above, a new generation of Energy Engineers is required to develop, install, operate

    and maintain sustainable energy solutions for meeting the energy demand of the society.Interdisciplinary manpower possessing different combinations of technical knowledge and skills is

    required to face the challenging task of providing sufficient energy to the increasing global population

    in a sustainable manner.

    The scientists and engineers, in the field of energy are required for a variety of occupations in

    Research and development institutions

    Organization involved in energy extraction, conversion, transmission and distribution,

    Service organizations (e.g. for energy auditing)

    Industrial and commercial organizations,Manufacture, sale, installation of energy equipment.

    Since its inception Centre for Energy Studies of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi has been

    contributing to fulfill the need of trained manpower as well as research and development activities inthe area of energy engineering.

    The building of the WBPCB (West Bengal Pollution Control Board) has put to use a number of

    technologies that aim to promote a more sustainable built environment. Traditionally, the

    building and construction industry has been a major consumer of energy and natural resources.

    Hence, at the very outset, the WBPCB and the architects decided that since the client was

    actively engaged in improving the environment, their office building should be an exemplary'environment-friendly building'. The architects thus took it upon them as a challenge to design an

    energy-efficient building applying various energy and resource-efficient building systems.

    Design Features:

    1. Optimum orientation of plan form.

    2. Solar passive features include optimum window disposition and sizing to allow

    maximum day lighting, while minimizing adverse thermal effects.

    3. Design for switching circuits for lights based on a computer-simulated lighting grid.

    4. Energy efficient lighting techniques have been adopted.

    5. Shading devices are specifically designed for different wall orientations to control the

    glare and also reduce the thermal load on the building.

    6. Techniques evolved to treat waste water.

    Architectural Design Features:

    The functional requirements of the design were broken down into three basic components:

    1. Fully air-conditioned laboratory wing of about 1115 m2, with state-of-the-art laboratories.

    2. A ventilated, non-air-conditioned office wing providing office space of about 1300 m2

    .

    3. An ancillary wing housing entrance lobby, cafeteria, auditorium, training centre, library,

    and guest rooms.

    Passive Solar Design:

    The primary strategy of the architects was to achieve enhanced day lighting and optimumthermal conditions in the building envelope, as the largest end-uses in office building are the

    lighting and air-conditioning systems. The first step in this direction was to orient the building

    judiciously within the constraints of the site.

    CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR ENERGY AND ENVIORNMENTAL STUDIES

    Orientation:

    The WBPCB site was not suitable in this respect, being along narrow plot facing north-west

    and south-east. A conventional plan would have exposed large glazed areas to south-east,

    north-west, and south-west, resulting in the useless glare of direct sunlight and excessive heat

    gain. By effective architectural design, the key laboratory and office spaces are oriented

    northsouth for day lighting, good ventilation, and optimum thermal condition.

    Fenestration Design:

    1. The highlights of the solar passive features are optimum window disposition and

    sizing to allow maximum day lighting, while minimizing adverse thermal effects.

    2. However, indiscriminate increase of glazing area to achieve this is counter-

    productive, causing glare and over-heating of the building.

    3. The glare from uncontrolled daylight necessitates the use of curtains and blinds with a

    resultant increase in the use of artificial lighting and cooling load.

    4. The shading devices, and window size and disposition vary according to the

    orientation of the walls.

    5. In addition, at the initial design stage, the architects ensured appropriate depth of the

    plan to maximize daylight penetration into the interior.

    levels (at 1-m grid intervals} and thermal performance (with different window sizes).This provided the following results:

    Finalization of window sizes after this exercise.

    Since suitably- oriented windows were important from the points of view of solarincursion and wind direction, maximum glazing was provided in the north-south

    direction, and minimum in east and west directions.

    Energy Efficient System:

    Energy-efficient Lighting:

    1. Switching circuits and automation

    2. Efficient Lighting EquipmentSwitching Circuits and Automation

    To utilize fully the benefits of daylight in the interior, it is important to ensure thatelectric lighting is turned off when daylight provides adequate illumination.

    This is achieved by using appropriate lighting controls and involves some degree of

    automation.

    The design of the switching circuits for the lights has been based on a computer-simulated lighting grid.

    Areas with similar light levels are located on the same circuit.

    The lights will be time-programmed so as to be switched on or off, according to thelevels of ambient light.

    Efficient Lighting Equipment:

    Compact fluorescent lamps [CFLs] are used in place of incandescent lamps.

    A comparable light output may be obtained from CFI.

    For onIy20%-30% of the wattage required for incandescent lamps.

    Maintenance costs are reduced due to long rated life [about eight times more].

    Fluorescent lamps, 25 mm diameter slim tube lights of 36 W are used in place of 38mm diameter 40 W lamps, consuming eight percent less electricity with

    approximately the same output.

    Optimized use of halogen spotlights for accent lighting and metal halide lamps for

    external lighting completes the range for an energy efficient lighting solution.

    Renewable Energy System:

    Solar Photovoltaic

    1. Solar passive systems are built into the design of the WBPCB building.2. Computer simulated models have shown a 40% saving in energy consumption over a

    conventionally designed building of same size and function.

    3. It is proposed to install a 25-kWp solar PV power plant on the roof.

    4. The aim is to fulfil the basic electricity requirement for lighting through the use of

    solar photovoltaic.

    Water and Waste Management:

    Treatment of waste water

    1. The WBPCB and the Forest Department buildings, which are located in the same

    complex, are estimated to reclaim 22 500 liters of water per day.

    2. This will be used for flushing in toilet cisterns and gardening, as the requirement of

    water in the complex for flushing and gardening is 20, 000 liters a day.

    3. Rainwater in the site will not be allowed to run off but will be collected in a water

    body in the complex.4. Creation of a water body and sufficient plantations will not only have a cooling effect

    but also control dust to create a unique and attractive ambience.

    Scientific Design of Shading Devices:

    The shading devices were designed specifically for different wall orientations tocontrol the glare and reduce the thermal load on the building.

    For windows facing north, vertical Louvre's normal to the wall, capped by a

    horizontal member of the same width on top are enough to provide the required

    shading.

    Windows facing south were generally shaded with horizontal Louvre's.

    Normally these horizontal Louvers should extend much beyond the window, possiblyto other windows at the same level, to avoid sunlight coming partly from the corners.

    Hence, instead of extending the horizontal members to any distance beyond the

    window on either side, two vertical Louvers were provided at the two extremes.

    CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR ENERGY AND ENVIORNMENTAL STUDIES

    For windows oriented east and west, the recommended shading device is acombination of horizontal and vertical Louvers.

    The horizontal Louvre is normal to the wall but the vertical Louvre is inclined at 30degrees towards the south, away from the normal to the wall.

    This has the advantage of letting in the winter sun during early mornings, on the eastfacade and of completely cutting off the summer sun from morning to evening.

    A central atrium opens up the volume to daylight. Thus the approximately 22 X 25 m floor

    space is effectively reduced to a 9m wide space around the atrium which can be more easily

    day lit by designing continuous glazed windows all around the building envelope . Artificial

    lighting is used as a supplement and its operation co related to available natural light.

    This design also enabled the creation of small, 20 to 25 person work modules arrangedaround the atrium and connected in the form of helix with a four to five stair difference in the

    level from the one immediately next to it. The result is a building in which floor divisions

    have virtually disappeared.

    The entrance lobby is really the bottom of the tall atrium adorned by sculptures by SuruchiChand depicting mans attempt to achieve higher levels.

    Form and Planning:

    All the public spaces reception, meeting rooms, art gallery , computer room and

    demonstration rooms are on the ground and first floors. The reception area on the first floor

    and six floors of the offices can be experienced as a continuous stretch of gradually ascendingoffice space.

    The Walk up Office Building:

    Each floor is divided into four levels around the central atrium. This design determined thebasic position of the columns which on account of the diagonal grid became cross shaped.

    Day Lighting:All office buildings are provided with windows, at least to the minimum extent laid out in the

    by-laws, and a horizontal ledge about 700mm wide is normally provided over windowopenings for weather protection. This conforms roughly to the requirements of sun shading

    on north-and south-facing windows. Venetian blinds or cut out daylight in other ways, and

    switch on artificial lights that provide relatively more comfortable lighting

    Since a building of 25m width is difficult to daylight, a central atrium with circulation routes

    around it was introduced in the plan. This reduced the depth of the office space to about10m,and eliminated the darkest area from the working space.

    To reduce the cooling load, insulation was provided in all exposed wall and roof surfaces and

    double glazing was provided in the windows. Infiltration losses are reduced by the fixed

    windows. The original design of office space incorporated electric fans for air circulation andspecial ducting for spot cooling of work stations. For determining the air-conditioning load

    the more commonly occurring ambient conditions were used in preference to the normal

    practice of using the worst combination of ambient factors which might occur on one or twodays in the year. The total air conditioning plant capacity thus worked out to 17 square meter

    of cooled space per ton of air-conditioning, which is much better than the Bombay norm.

    Performance:The designers established that CMC building consumes about 25% less energy than thetraditionally designed offices in Mumbai. The microprocessor for controlling the movement

    of the louvers was installed in some parts of the building and in most of the building the

    blinds work no different than in any other conventional building. These blinds are now

    controlled by manually operated electrical switch.

    Economics: Since the controls for lighting, venetian blinds and air conditioning plant were a part

    of building automation system developed in house by CMC; it is difficult to giveauthentic estimates of the additional costs incurred in designing this system and other

    energy saving features.

    The cost of the automation system was 6.5 million rupees and the savings in reducedinstalled capacity of the HVAC plant was 3 million rupees .
