This will reduce the quantity of heat inflow into the building, lessens cooling loads on AC induces energy saving. Solar energy will be utilized for providing Hot water supply to the buildings. Orientation is done in such a manner so that surface of the building is prevented from exposure to direct sunlight and thus heat gain of the building will less. The units on the top floor shall have a false ceiling. The air in between the ceiling & slabs shall act as on insulator. The passive solar architecture is used for the maximum use of the solar energy. Large south facing windows are the easiest and cheapest way to increase light in a building, since the south side of a building receives the more sunlight. An open design, with glazed apertures, light shelves and light pipes can transmit sunlight into building interiors. Louvers and sunshades will be used around windows in order to protect from direct sunlight. Proper ventilation allows the heat from the sunspaces to circulate through the rest of the building. Suitable energy optimization will be adopted during calculation of energy load of the proposed project. Proper energy efficient HVAC system will be installed. The space heating load will be minimized using passive solar structure and suitable buildings envelop material. Uses of incandescent lamp and halogen lamps have been used for all common area and basement parking.

Provide details of how you are mitigating the effects of infiltration To what extent the non-conventional energy technologies are utilized in the overall energy consumption? Provide Building Code Part 8. Due to the proposed project there would be insignificant emission of air pollutants by vehicular movements and occasional use of DG sets, hence no heat island effect is envisaged. To reduce the heat load reflective insulated glass shall be used in fenestrations to cut on heat loads and subsequently capital & operating cost of Air conditioning. The building envelope for external walls will be made of bricks, concrete and steel. For fenestration, brick films are planned. The building construction material namely bricks, concrete and steel are being used in the construction. The R- values for concrete range from K.m. 2. W 1, which for steel range from K.m. 2. W- 1 and for bricks approx K.m. 2K.m. for fenestration, wood and glass panels and boards will be used, which have R value ranging from K.m. 2.W 1. U- factor, also known as Thermal Transmittance, is heat transmission in unit time through unit area of a material or construction and the boundary air films, induced by unit temperature difference between the environments in each side. All floors shall have adequate fire fighting equipments i.e., Hose reels, Fire Extinguishers, Fire Detection system, Fire Alarm System, Fire hydrants.
