P r e s e r v a t i o n o f E x i s t i n g Ve g e t a t i o n i n t h e site and promote plantation Plantation is the best way to minimize this effect. Not only to plant more but also avoid the existing planation on the site. 2. Applying water: We are implying the automatic water sprinkling system to minimize the dust and other particles during construction This can also be used after construction for irrigation and watering of plants D-NET™ 3D-ARM IMPACT SPRINKLERS D-Net™ For the people looking for the automated spraying of water for various purposes with large and varied spacing above 10x10 meters, D-Net™ 3D-arm impact sprinklers offer maximum wateruse efficiency. Working Water pollution at construction sites Causes of pollution • Diesel, oil paints, solvents etc. • Construction debris and land excretion • Construction waste thrown in water resources • Working with toxic materials Report on pollution (SOLAB department of environment) • Graph Steps taken at our sites (Air pollution) • ENVIROCHEMIE is the most advance and progress firm regarding the treatment of waste water for domestic and commercial purposes. They have been ranked 3rd by the BIR in treatment of water and its disposal. They took a small place for the average size building and their functioning can be seen in the given picture. • This picture clearly shows their storage capacity and the method which it follows. It claims that it can recycle up to 53% of construction and 71% of the domestic liquid waste. This can cut a large amount of water pollution Practical unit Working and functionality Steps taken at our site (Noise Pollution) • Avoid working with equipment which produce high levels of noise during the sensitive hours. • Sensitive hours can vary from site to site as it depends on the location of the site and whether the surrounding area is residential or commercial. In our case the surrounding area is commercial so we will avoid working with noisy equipment as much as possible during the working hours of the surrounding area. • Wear Hearing Protection: • Construction sites produce noise levels up to 90 dB even though workers object that hearing protectors makes them uncomfortable and it is difficult for them to communicate with each other it should be provided to them as it will prevent them from permanent hearing damage. Heat Island Effect Phenomena The term "heat island" describes built up areas that are hotter than nearby green areas.

VENTILATION 2. LIGHTNING 3. POWER VENTILATION STRATEGY 1. BRONZE BLADES As in our building there are 117 blades on front side and 150 blades on left side and almost 150 blades on right side of our building. This system will help us in reducing dependency on mechanical ventilation and cooling equipment. 2. SMART AIR FLOW As in our building there are 117 blades on front side and 150 blades on left side and almost 150 blades on right side of our building. This system will help us in reducing dependency on mechanical ventilation and cooling equipment. 56 LIGHTNING STRATEGY 1 . P E TA L L E A F D E S I G N : Lighting is provided by some 500,000 LEDs that use around 40% less energy than traditional lighting. These LEDs are contained within integrated ceiling panels that also combine heating, cooling and acoustics into an elegant and innovative petal leaf design. 2. POWER OVER ETHERNET LIGHTNING Power over Ethernet (POE), lighting and control platform that seamlessly integrates luminaires, sensors, user interfaces and software for a scalable, intelligent building control solution. We choose product from HUBBEL Corporation. This works on automatic principle of diming and ON/OFF. 57 POWER STRATEGY 1 . P O W E R F R O M N AT U R A L G A S Natural gas–fired power plants are clearly the cheapest to build among thermal power technologies. This is due to lower land requirements and faster, cheaper construction. Thus, solely on the basis of capital costs, natural gas is a winner. This product is from net power company with zero carbon emission. In a traditional power plant the burning gas creates a stream which turns a power generating turbine creating a lot of co2 excess in the process. As to capture this co2 creates economic problems. But now due to alum cycle, it removes co2 from the burning of fossil fuels with no increase in cost of electricity. In alum cycle Co2 is used to spin the turbine as part of an entirely closed loop, it never enters the atmosphere. Its captured by default. 58 INNOVATION IN INTERIOR DESIGN LEFT PORTION OFFICES • As the left portion is designed for offices which have employees and the main theme of sustainability here is that the employees can be productive and be happy in their environment and be proud of their work Add a footer 59 INTERIOR DESIGN OFFICES Also there is green living wall at each floor where employees can have coffee with ideas sharing with each other. The center of the building is open space which helps people and information move seamlessly. The notion of teamwork and collaboration flows into the decking systems and layout of each floor. Bespoke height-adjustable, radial desks are laid out in clusters and pods for up to six people, allowing for privacy, personalization, wellbeing and collaborative working. The ceiling is another unique and innovative element developed for the building, inspired by the pressed metal ceilings of New York. Its distinctive polished aluminum panels of ‘petals’ perform multiple roles – ceiling finish, light reflectors, cooling elements and acoustic attenuation – combining various elements of a typical office ceiling into an energy-saving integrated system. Add a footer 60 TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN FLOORS: 1. As we want to pass maximum light between floors from top of the roof so that’s why we focus on using maximum open space at center so that light may pass through it and that’s why we used ramp walk in DNA shaped as a stairs between floors. 2. Also the building by this stays eco-friendly with natural ventilation through these ramps, that works instead of air conditioning 30% of the year and light transportation makes low LED energy lightning where natural light do not reach. Add a footer 61 INNOVATION IN INTERIOR DESIGN RIGHT PORTION COMMERCIAL • Retail centers are traditionally among the biggest energy-wasters and rubbish-producers on earth, with 24-hour lighting, fierce airconditioning to lure shoppers, electronic signs constantly ablaze and outlets competing for customers. Add a footer 62 INTERIOR DESIGN R E TA I L C E N T E R 1. In Shopping mall, all the shops are to made by glass panels so that maximum light can be passed through out the atrium and use of artificial light is less inside buildings leading to reduce in energy resources. 2. One large retail store lessened its impact on the environment by setting the AC to kick on at 75 degrees, instead of 74, according to research. The store now consumes 30,000 fewer kilowatts, and saves $3,100 every year. "Smaller businesses might not notice such a dramatic change, but little adjustments done with intention build positive habits that make a difference over time. Add a footer 63 DESIGN OF ELEVATORS MRL SYSTEM 1. Miniaturization has made it feasible to house the MRL machinery right in the elevator shaft rather than in a costly rooftop machine room. Incorporating a gearless traction design, MRL elevators in some cases can use up to 80% less energy than hydraulic lifts, without the expense and environmental headaches of oil-filled underground hydraulic cylinders 2. Green elevators don't just stop with reducing energy consumption — some of them give back much of what they take. Regenerative drive systems recover energy that would normally be dissipated as heat and put it back into the building's electrical system Add a footer 64 MISCLLEANOUS ITEMS PA R T O F D E S I G N P R O C E S S ! • Green Living Wall Also there is green living wall at each floor where employees can have coffee with ideas sharing with each other. •Electric Vehicle Charging Station An electric vehicle charging station, also called EV charging station, electric recharging point, charging point, charge point, ECS (Electronic Charging Station) and EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment), is an element in an infrastructure that supplies electric energy for vehicles.
