2 Outline of the Presentation Challenges & Issues Existing Building Stock - Impacts Green Buildings & Green Retrofitting Assessment of the Parameters Initiatives by CSIR- CBRI Concluding Remarks

3 Challenges Climate Change Energy Shortage Water Shortage Urbanization Some Solutions to these Challenges Green Buildings, Retrofitting Existing Buildings & Sustainable Cities

4 Challenges Climate Change (Green House Gas Emissions) Need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming 6-7% of the World CO 2 emissions from Cement production One ton of Cement produces ~0.9 ton of CO 2 Cement production is highly energy intensive process. Conservation of Natural Resources 3 billion tons of limestone 13 billion tons of aggregates Construction the largest Consumer of Resources Research Focus World Over

5 Construction Process Source: Osman Attmann Majority of the Energy Consumption and Environmental Impacts (CO₂ emission, Resource use & Replacement, wear and tear, Water Pollution etc.) takes place during the Life Cycle stage

6 Green House Gas Emissions The main source of GHG emissions from buildings is energy consumption. Energy is consumed during: (i) Manufacturing of building materials ( Embedded or Embodied Energy ) (ii) Transporting the materials from production plants to building sites ( Grey Energy) (iii) Construction of building (Induced Energy) (iv) Operation of the building ( Operational Energy).

7 Existing Building Stock India has about Billion sqm. Buildings use about 50% of all the energy produced in our planet during operation for heating, cooling, lighting and also during building construction (ERG et al.1999). Major part of this consumption is directly related to buildings use & Approx. 80% of GHG emissions take place during the Operational Phase of Buildings, when energy is used for HVAC, lighting, appliances and other applications.

8 In terms of Sustainability, Retrofitting Existing Buildings is one of the Most Effective Strategies Retrofitting Existing Buildings into Green can help address National issues - Energy & Water Efficiency, Conserving the Natural Resources, Handling of all kinds of Wastes etc.

9 Relationship between the Green Categories Conceptual Framework for Measuring the Greenness of Architecture Ecological Sustainable GREEN Performance

10 Sustainability, Ecology & Performance Requires Measuring Green No. of Attributes Elements (Technology & Materials) - E Resources - R Environmental Env For example: Building can be completely or barely sustainable or un-sustainable depending upon the number of attributes it possesses within each of the subcategories EREnv.

11 Sustainable Measuring Green Attributes Elements (Technology & Materials) Durable, Economical, Recyclable, Low -Maintenance Resources Onsite conditions, Cost effectiveness, Accessibility, Natural Forces Environmental Healthy, Habitable, Social, Safety & security

12 Performance Attributes Elements (Technology & Materials) Efficiency, Effectiveness & Productivity Resources Economic, Eco- behaviour, Design Environmental Adaptability, Functionality, Env. Quality

13 Six Goals for an Overall Sustainability Assessment Optimization of site / existing structure potential; Optimization of energy use; Protection and conservation of water resources; Use of environmental friendly materials & products; Enhance IEQ; and Optimized O & M practices and create built environments that are livable, comfortable, safe, and productive.

17 Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) BREEAM is the first commercially available EA tool for buildings & has been used by many other rating systems as their development basis. Scope of buildings BREEAM is used for the certification of projects anywhere in the world. UK, Spain, Sweden and Norway, etc. Categorization BREEAM Europe Commercial covers Europe offices, retail and industrial buildings. Each section has its own weighting and categories are: MAN- Management: (10 possible points). HEA- Health and Wellbeing: (14 possible points). ENE- Energy: (21 possible points). TRA- Transport: (10 possible points). WAT- Water: (6 possible points). MAT- Material: (12 possible point) WST- Waste: (7 possible points). LE- Land Use and Ecology: (10 possible point) POL- Pollution: (12 possible points). Innovation: (10 possible points). Project Totals: 112 Possible Points (BREEAM Europe Commercial 2009)

18 Green Buildings ASHRAE Standard describes the High Performance Green Building as - designed, constructed and capable of being operated in a manner that increases environmental performance and economic value over time.

19 Concept of Developing Sustainable Cities

20 Why Retrofitting Existing Buildings? A city of only new green buildings does not make a sustainable city - we also need to address green retrofitting of existing buildings along with other wider issues such as waste management, water conservation, efficient transportation and renewable energy usage to reduce impact on the environment.

21 Green Retrofit Green Retrofits - are any kind of upgrade(s) at an existing building that is wholly or partly occupied - To improve energy and environmental performance, To improve the comfort, To reduce water use, To improve the quality of space in terms of natural light, air quality, and noise etc. All done that is financially viable with payback guarantees. (Source: USGBC)

22 Retrofitting Existing Buildings Buildings which were constructed about years before and that have a remaining service life of minimum years - presents a good retrofitting potential for energy saving in buildings through active & passive strategies.

23 Refurbishment, Retrofitting & Renovation Refurbishment returning the building or its systems to their original condition, addressing the forces of physical obsolescence. Renovation - attacks the effects of obsolescence. Retrofitting - the replacement & up gradation of old systems and addition of new technologies for the purpose of improved efficiency to address technological or environmental obsolescence.[richard Hyde, 2013] Application of both Technical & Nontechnical Strategies can be applied to existing buildings through the process of retrofitting using Bioclimatic & Eco- design Principles. Olgyay, 1963

24 Initiatives by CSIR- CBRI Green Buildings, Green Retrofitting & Sustainability

25 CSIR CBRI Research Initiatives Envelope Retrofit -(Glazing, Walls, Roofs, etc.) Insulation Retrofit (Walls, & Roof ) Experimental Models Experimental data & Simulation Results validated Solar Retrofit - (BIPV roofs, etc.) CBRI Main Building Energy Retrofit - (Active Retrofit - Lighting, HVAC etc.) Simulation of CBRI Main Building Water Retrofit Strategies (Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting, Ground Water Recharge, Surface Water Collection, Water Bodies etc.) Evaporative Cooling - CBRI Library Block

26 Research on Sustainable & Green Retrofitting Bioclimatic Retrofitting (Naturally ventilated, solar heated/ cooled, well insulated, optimum daylight, Use fresh air etc.) Roof & Wall Retrofit (Green roof & walls) Retrofitting for reducing Embodied Energy

27 Bioclimatic Design In 1963, the Bioclimatic term was used for the first time by Victor Olgyay. Bioclimatology relates to the study of climate (climatology) to the human beings that relates bioclimatic data to thermal comfort limits, to identify design strategies (OLGYAY, 1973). Bioclimatic design is an approach that takes advantage of the climate through the right application of design elements and building technology to control the heat transfer process.

41 Green Roof Retrofit System for Buildings built with Prefab Brick Panel Roofing Technology Green roof retrofits to improve the micro-climate can be used efficiently in existing buildings where the additional load carrying capacity of buildings about kg/m² is permissible.

42 Green Roofs Technical and economic feasibility of green roofs on prefab Brick Panel Roofing system investigated for composite climate of India. In Warm Summers, green roofs are suitable for reducing the energy demand for the space cooling, with annual reduction of the primary energy requirements between 5% - 10%, without worsening the winter energy performance. Cost of Proposed Green Roof Retrofit is Rs.100 per sqft..

43 Parametric Study for making Existing Buildings Green Building Envelope Thermal Performance Improvements in Overall Thermal Transmittance of Opaque Wall Assemblies, Roofs, Fenestration - Glazing, Shading, Screens and Surface Finishes. The goal is to reduce the heat gain through the envelope Retrofitting offers a great possibility to enhance the thermal comfort, indoor air quality and natural lighting / daylighting etc. A key strategy for achieving energy savings.

48 Applying Insulation on Wall Surfaces The effect of insulation is to reduce heat gain / loss. Insulation / materials with lower conductivity are preferred, as they are better insulators and reduce the external heat gains from the envelope. Insulation must be placed on the hotter side of the surface. In hot areas, insulation should be placed on the external side and In Cold Climates, Insulation on Inside

49 Criteria for Thermal Performance Rating Computing (K) and thermal transmittance (Ufactor) are prerequisites for the assessment of thermal performance of building sections. Thermal Resistance (R) for a structure having plane parallel faces is equal to thickness (L) of the structure divided by thermal conductivity (K). Thermal conductance, C = K / L (i), R = 1 / C = L / K.... (ii) For a composite material comprising several layers of conductivities K 1, K 2 etc., and of thicknesses L 1, L 2 etc., the Thermal Resistance is : R T = R 1 + R 2 + R 3 + R 4 + R 5 +. (iii) Where, R T is the total resistance of the materials

54 Fire Resistance Although Retrofit by Insulation is useful in improving energy efficiency, Fire Safety of the structures is equally important. Retrofitting Roofs by Insulation is preferred as it requires minimum amount of interventions ; however, wall insulation on the hotter side of the walls (outside) in all types of climates except cold, will require major renovation. But both the roof & wall insulation contributes immensely in improving energy efficiency.
