3 Message from the Chairman Foreword The Indian Green Buiding Moement in India stands ta today with more than 4,000 buiding projects, equiaent to 4.50 biion sq ft of green space being deeoped, as per arious IGBC Ratings. It is time to understand the experience of occupants in green buidings through a detaied study. The Word Green Buiding Counci s (WGBC) goba campaign, Better Paces for Peope, has come as an exceent opportunity to assess the experience of peope in green buidings. We are gratefu to WGBC for haing aocated this prestigious assignment to IGBC, for buidings in India. The questionnaire surey and ideo shoot in arious IGBC-certified buidings, as part of this WGBC project, reaffirm the fact that the Webeing of its occupants is in a green buidings. The resuts of the surey make it abundanty cear that access to cean, heathy, day-it and comfortabe spaces hae positie psychoogica and physioogica impact. We sha continue working with WGBC in taking forward this initiatie, thereby eading to the creation of better paces for our peope. Dr Prem C Jain Chairman Indian Green Buiding Counci (IGBC) Winston Churchi said, We shape our buidings; thereafter they shape us. It is so apt, since 90% of our ies is spent indoors, within Buidings. Buidings can assist us in improing our Cognitie Abiity, Productiity and Weness, whie keeping us safe, to achiee our fu potentia. We hae a Program to buid Smart Cities. We are in need of Smart buidings with Smart Peope. Peope are the most auabe resource in organizations. The saary and wage bi of peope working in buidings is one of the major costs of any organization. We focus on renta of buidings ony! We need to map out the Productiity increase benefits of occupying a buiding and aso take it into account, in our cacuations. Weness resuts in fewer sick days and resuts in a motiated work force. This is besides the energy efficiency of the buiding, resuting in ower OPEX for the owner/ operator. It is the duty of an empoyer to care for the webeing of their empoyees and proide a heathy and comfortabe workpace. Occupant satisfaction shoud be measured. A sma increase in indiidua productiity ead to significant gains for an organization. With this background, this study by IGBC has come at the right time. We are currenty deiberating on the weness standards in India, suited to our ifestyes and the Nationa context. The findings of this surey wi go a ong way in creating peope-centric spaces in the country. We thank a the buiding owners, expert consutants and occupants who hae participated in this study. We ook forward to their continued support in buiding a heathy, greener, smarter, safe, happy and a productie India. Mr Kama Meatte Chairman IGBC Webeing Rating

5 ABOUT BETTER PLACES FOR PEOPLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Better Paces for Peope aims to acceerate the demand and the suppy of buidings that support peope in iing heathier, happier ies by raising awareness of how buidings impact peope, and by presenting the business case for action. WordGBC and its partner organisations wi engage and coaborate with buiding occupants, deeopers and andords, inestors, and rea estate agents and adisors through a wide range of actiities to hep drie action on the ground. Key actiities incude: Proiding further eidence on the ink between good design and positie outcomes. Creating toos and guidance on how to coect heath and webeing data for buiding types beyond offices. Estabishing a network for organisations to exchange essons earned and share best practice. Supporting Green Buiding Councis in the coection of consistent data at nationa ees. The Green Buiding moement in India triggered when CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre (IGBC Head Quarters) buiding in Hyderabad was awarded with the first Patinum rated green buiding rating in India. Since then, Green Buiding moement in India has gained tremendous impetus oer the years. Today, more than 4000 green buiding projects are impementing arious green strategies. As a next chapter of the green buiding moement in India, it is ita to understand the occupant experience on iing in green buidings. The study aims to highight the positie impacts of green buiding on heath & webeing of the occupants. This report is part of WGBC's initiatie on 'Better Paces for Peope' that aims to create a word in which buidings support heathier and happier ies for those who occupy them. WGBC has entrusted IGBC to conduct a study on the webeing aspect in IGBC rated green buidings. 25 buidings hae been seected from 7 major cities of India. The questionnaire was designed to capture user's perception and experience on the buit enironment they occupy. The study indicates that green buidings hae supported heathier and happier iing in seera ways. Various attributes such as thermay comfortabe enironment, optimum iumination & noise ees, greenery within the buit enironment, ergonomicay designed spaces, hae significanty contributed in proiding a comfortabe working enironment to the users occupying them. Based on the study, the report further attempts to proide ideas for improement in the buit enironment. Foowing are few highights of the report: 80% occupants are thermay comfortabe throughout the year on account of the good design and proper operation of the faciities Peope in green buidings accord tremendous importance to fitness actiities. 84% occupants actiey utiise sports and meditation faciities proided by their faciity Due to good façade design, 89% occupants are happy with the isua enironment and do not hae probem of gare. 78% occupants are satisfied with the acoustica design of their faciity. Educating the occupants of green buidings is extremey important. 93% occupants were found to be we educated on the arious benefits of eco-friendy practices. The objectie of the study was to understand measures that woud enhance heath & webeing in buidings. Foowing are the key measures identified which peope hae expressed are important to them: Conduct periodic user satisfaction surey to anayse therma, isua and acoustic comfort of the occupants Proide sports and meditation faciities which woud enhance the fitness of occupants Proide more green spaces within the buit enironment Encourage eco-friendy and heathy modes of transport Maintain hygienic conditions in buidings Green Buidings increasingy hae been important part of India's growth. More and more stakehoders are reaising the importance of green buidings. The study woud further strengthen the area of webeing and woud guide upcoming faciities to be heathy and add to the webeing of peope. 1 2

7 THERMAL COMFORT THERMAL COMFORT Introduction Therma comfort is defined by ASHRAE as a condition of mind in which satisfaction is expressed 1 with the therma enironment. Therma comfort depends on parameters such as air temperature, air eocity, reatie humidity, mean radiant temperature, metaboic rate and cothing insuation. Therma comfort has been an important eement of green buidings and is we addressed in terms of design, construction and operation. A good buiding design ensures a thermay comfortabe enironment. This heps to reduce occupants stress ee and improes their productiity % 96% 90% Occupants are thermay comfortabe throughout the year on account of good design and proper operation of the faciity Occupants are happy with the humidity in green buidings Occupants are satisfied with the air moement at their faciity, owing to good design and operation of the buiding % satisfaction Winter Summer Monsoon p Therma perception of occupants during different seasons indicate that green buidings faciitate satisfactory therma enironment Measures for exceent therma comfort Seek anonymous responses from occupants. This feedback woud enabe faciity managers to identify the therma comfort reated probems and hep in impementing correctie actions. Maintain temperatures between 20 to 23 C during winter and 22 to 27 C during summer. Monitor and maintain reatie humidity between 30 to 70 %. Proide humidifiers and de-humidifiers to maintain acceptabe humidity in the faciity. Proide good air moement in the faciity to enhance the therma comfort of the occupants. Insta indiidua therma comfort contros for occupants, to adjust temperature and air moement based on need and preference. Encourage dressing cuture eading to occupants therma comfort. The probem of oercooing during summer shoud be addressed. p In India, faciities hae started proiding ceiing fans in mechanicay entiated spaces to enhance the air moement. This contributes to better therma sensation and improes performance of occupants p Controabiity is an important aspect of indiidua therma comfort. Proide desk fans and under foor air distribution system to enabe occupants in maintaining air moement based on their preference p Indiidua controabiity, when proided to users, enhances indiidua therma comfort 1 ASHRAE Standard 55 : Therma Enironmenta Conditions for Human Occupancy Proiding thermostats in spaces such as meeting rooms and priate u cabins, aows the user to maintain temperatures as desired 5 6

8 VISUAL COMFORT VISUAL COMFORT Introduction Human comfort is affected by the ight intensity (iuminance). The ight shoud be of the right intensity so that eyes do not strain if it is too dark or bright. Thus maintaining optimum iuminance at the workpace with the use of artificia ighting or dayight is ery essentia. Gare from sunight can aso cause strain in eyes. This can be aoided by proiding controabiity in the form of binds, curtains or ouers. 88% 89% Occupants receie dayight through nearby window or skyight Occupants do not hae probem of gare due to good façade design 9% 2% 89% No probem of gare Gare for imited time Gare throughout the day p Green buidings aow faciitate both dayight and gare controabiity. 89% of the occupants receied ampe dayight, without any gare Percentage Very bright Bright Sighty bright Neither Sighty bright dim nor dim Dim Very dim p The graph indicates ighting perception of occupants for artificia ighting. 72% of peope are happy with the oera ighting ees. Dotted box indicates acceptabe imits Measures for exceent isua comfort 82% Occupants hae controabiity to contro the gare using binds, curtains and ouers Green buidings promote higher percentages of dayight into the office spaces. The buiding design shoud be such that it aows natura ight to penetrate through windows and skyight. Design buidings with optimum window-to-wa ratio. This woud ensure good amount of dayight within the spaces. Use doube gazed gass and ow-e gass to aow good dayight and ess heat. Incorporate ighting eements such as ight shees, ight pipes to aow deeper penetration of dayight into spaces. Use dimmer contros and dayight sensors to proide optimum ux ees to the occupants. Proide ighting controabiity to indiiduas in the form of binds, curtains and oures to contro gare and enhance their isua comfort. Proide indiidua task ight, which enabe occupants to maintain iumination ees based on their preference. p Windows and skyights proided on the northern side aows maximum penetration of dayight. The north ight aows maximum diffused ight and minimum heat p Both artificia ighting and dayight can be used to proide optimum ux ees. Gare contro shoud aso be considered whie designing the ighting for spaces t Design of façade in two ees top and bottom window hep in receiing optimum dayight. Top window acts as a ight shef and bottom window seres the purpose of isua connectiity 12% Receie ampe dayight 88% Do not receie dayight p Majority of the occupants fee comfortabe with the ampe dayight receied at their workstations 7 8

9 ACOUSTIC COMFORT ACOUSTIC COMFORT Introduction Sound is the sensation perceied by the sense of hearing. Intensity of sound is measured in decibe. 2 Sound beyond 65 decibe (for commercia spaces) is considered as noise. Noise eads to disturbance and distress. This can be due to a neighbouring conersation, nearby traffic noise, poor ducting design or equipment noise. Acousticay designed buidings imit noise ees and hep in maintaining a stress free working enironment. 78% 79% Occupants are satisfied with the acoustica design of their faciity Occupants agree that the workpace ayout enabes them to work without unwanted noise interruptions 22% Satisfied 86% Occupants are satisfied with the L-shaped workpace ayout, which enhance acoustic comfort Not Satisfied p Occupants of green buidings are happy with the acoustic design of the buiding 61% 4% 78% 35% No noise distractions Teephone cas, nearby conersations etc. Nearby traffic noise p The anaysis aboe indicates that majory peope get distracted due to teephonic conersation and nearby conersation in a work enironment. Acousticay designed space woud ensure reduction in such disturbances Measures for exceent acoustic comfort Design spaces based on the functiona requirement of the buiding. Sient and non-sient zones shoud be segregated to enhance the acoustic comfort of the occupants. Design office ayout which aows conersations but imits noise. Use sound absorbing materias on wa, carpet and ceiing to optimize sound ees. This aso preents reerberations within the spaces such as open office, meeting rooms conference rooms. Proide ducts designed to reduce noise due to air moement. Seect systems and equipment such as fans, HVAC, duct & generators that eads to ow noise criteria. Design andscape that reduces noise coming from externa enironment. Panting trees and thick egetation acts as a buffer between traffic and buidings. Windows and skyights proided on the northern side aows maximum penetration of dayight. The north ight aows maximum diffused ight and minimum heat. p Appication of sound absorbing materia on was, foors, ceiings, furniture etc. heps in enhancing the sound quaity. We designed spaces offer priacy required in meeting rooms and priate cabins t Carpets eiminate foor impact sounds such as noise produced by footfas and chairs scraped across the foor p Propery designed office ayout enabe occupants to work in an acousticay comfortabe enironment. p Vegetation panted aong the site boundary heps The L-shaped workstation ayout has significanty in reducing the traffic noise coming from the nearby reduced disturbances from the surrounding that has roads enabed occupants to work in a stress free 2 CPCB : Centra Poution Contro board enironment 9 10

11 GREENERY GREENERY Introduction Greenery is an important eement and has power to enhance the quaity of ife and webeing of peope. Peope who stay in a greener enironment are happier and tend to hae better cognitie abiity. 88% Occupants hae access to ampe greenery at their faciities Greenery aso pays a major roe in enhancing indoor enironment quaity. It acts as a sink to human generated carbon emissions and absorbs poutants to improe the oera quaity of air. 75% Of the faciities hae externa greenery within their campus in form of trees, pants & awns 51% 9% 40% Visua Connectiity with trees/awn /water body/ garden Visua connectiity with neaby buidings, sky No isua connectiity p Green buidings faciitates isua connectiity to the outdoors. 91% occupants hae accessibiity to the externa enironment such as greenery, buidings and sky p Roof garden acts as an design eement for connecting occupants to the nature Measures to enhance greenery Faciities shoud hae minimum 20% of the area retained as natura topography. This promotes biodiersity within the campus. Green buidings hae enabed buit enironment to hae ampe greenery in the premises. Incorporate green spaces that are accessibe to the occupants. The spaces such as resting areas, pergoa, gazebo, shaded pathways, breakout spaces, can be incorporated as design eements. Integrate interior spaces to the externa enironment. The occupants shoud hae direct isua access to sky, fora and fauna. The connectiity can be through eements such as courtyards, gardens, green roofs, ertica greenery. Encourage panting of natie egetation that attracts habitat & promotes biodiersity. Pants such as Dypsis utescens (areca pam), Epipremnum aureum (money pant), Sanseieria trifasciata (mother-in-aw's tongue) can be integrated in the interior spaces to enhance the indoor air quaity. p Green buidings encourage design of spaces that hae ampe greenery and are accessibe for users. These spaces aso act as breakout spaces for reaxation and socia interaction t Faciities where the aaiabiity of open space is imited hae considered green wa as a andscape eement p Incorporating indoor pants hep in air purification. This improes indoor air quaity and reduces poutants & emissions p Integrating green spaces within the buiding interiors proide isua comfort & connectiity to the nature 13 14

12 FITNESS FITNESS Introduction Heath is an aggregate of the body, senses, mind 4 and sou. Word Heath Organisation (WHO) defines Heath as a state of compete physica, menta and socia we-being and not merey the 5 absence of disease. Aadequate exercise assists in being physicay fit. Incusion of sports and yoga in day-to-day routine heps in maintaining a heathy body and mind. 84% 70% Occupants actiey utiise the indoor/outdoor sport or yoga/ meditation faciity proided Occupants of green buidings hae access to indoor and outdoor sports faciity p Indoor sports faciities such as poo, foosba, carom and chess encourage socia interactions and act as a stress busters Measures to improe fitness Proide indoor & outdoor fitness faciities such as tabe tennis, carom board, badminton court basketba.
