1 Infosys Driven by Values

2 Clean energy for all 2 India is fourth largest consumer of electricity in the world Over 300 million people in India do not have access to electricity Over USD160 billion was lost in foreign exchange in for oil and coal imports. Infosys consumes 262 million units of electricity annually in India Infosys unit cost of electricity is rising at an average rate of 8% YOY Can we lead the way in addressing the energy problem? Source: McKinsey report on India, DGCIS, Govt. of India

3 Clean water for all 3 The per capita availability for water has reduced by 2/3 rd in the last 60 years. India stands water stresses and is closed to being categorized as water scarce Infosys Mysore did not get water from municipal sources for an entire month of May13 Infosys Electronics city did not get water for a week in May13 Can we be a part of the solution and set benchmarks? Source:

4 Zero waste to landfills 4 - Construction waste - 12 million tons of construction waste per annum - Infosys s contribution is 6000 tons per annum - Municipal Solid Waste - Current estimate is 60 million tons per year - Expected to rise to 4 times by Infosys contribution is 5000 tons per month Can we lead the way in waste management? Grihaindia.org; tifac.org.in

5 Are we doing enough? What are the goals would you propose for a company like Infosys?

6 Current goals 6 Carbon Neutral 50% reduction in per capita electricity consumption 100% renewable energy Offset travel related emissions Become Water positive Rain Water harvesting Water conservation Water Treatment

7 Environmental SUSTAINABILITY Powered by innovation

8 Integrated Design Approach What are the different parameters one would measure the design team against? What goals should we set for the design team?

9 Integrated Design Approach Performance Contract for the design team Building envelope performance as part of the architect s contract Maximum envelope load parameter Day lighting and glare as criteria of architect s contract Day lighting to be achieved as per LEED green building standard Performance criteria for HVAC consultant Criteria on overall energy efficiency of the system

10 Optimization strategy Controls Passive design Day lighting and energy simulation Lighting energy Efficient light source Lighting Optimization Day lighting strategies Efficient fixtures Artificial lighting simulation

11 >80% of Occupied Space should be Day Lit 11 Use of simulations to validate strategy North South facing building with 16 m width to ensure 80% of spaces are day lit

13 View Pane is completely shaded by Shading device

14 100% daylit spaces

15 Artificial Lighting system and controls 2X reduction in the installed lighting load ~3X reduction in lighting energy consumption

16 Optimization strategy Air-conditioning energy (HVAC) HVAC Optimization

17 Optimization strategy Continuous monitoring Reduce Heat Gain Energy simulation Air-conditioning energy (HVAC) Control strategy HVAC Optimization Efficient heat transfer mechanism Efficient equipment Efficient system Equipment configuration

18 Reduce heat gain Efficient building envelope - Wall Insulation (u value less than 0.4 w/m2 deg K) 35 0 C 24 0 C 2.0 w/m2 deg K - Roof Insulation (u value less than 0.35 w/m2 deg K) - Efficient glazing with low SHGC and u value Heat ingress through standard wall (SHGC less than 0.2 and U value less than 1.2 w/m2 deg K) 35 0 C 24 0 C Integrated design approach - Performance based, common goal for entire design team 0.4 w/m2 deg K - E.g External heat gain not to exceed 1 watt/sqft Heat ingress through efficient wall 5 times more efficient

19 Better buildings with lower cost Old New Glass cost ` 230 per sq.ft Glass cost ` 225 per sq.ft Heat ingress from glass 3.8 W/sq.m Heat ingress from glass 1.1 W/sq.m 19

20 Energy simulation Thermal analysis and study conducted for, All building facades and orientations Various wall insulation, roof insulation, shading and glazing configurations Provides optimized design for entire building envelope Helps compare all scenarios and take smart decisions Example: Evaluation of peak cooling load with various scenarios of building envelope through simulation

21 Cooling / Heating Strategy from Old Monuments 21 Thermal energy stored in thick walls and floors Thermal mass cooled by flowing Yamuna water

22 Efficient Heat transfer Heat Capacity of this much air Pumping Air Vs. Water for same cooling capacity = Heat Capacity of this much water Water has 3400 times more heat carrying capacity than air for the same volume Pumping cost is 7.5 times lower

23

24 Efficient system (Radiant cooling) Manages sensible and latent heat loads independently Radiant cooling system uses 16 deg C chilled water for sensible cooling Requires 80% less air than conventional buildings. (Air only for ventilation and latent heat removal Low pressure drop design for air and water distribution

51 Solid waste management goals at Infosys Achieve 100% segregation at source. Segregation is the key to waste management. Organic waste: All organic waste generated to be treated in our campuses (nothing should go out) Inorganic waste: All non-hazardous dry waste to given to authorized recyclers/handled to ensure zero disposal to landfills Hazardous waste: All hazardous waste to be handled by authorized vendors only. Zero disposal to landfills All waste that cannot be recycled or is not feasible to recycle should be converted to energy using waste to energy converters 51

52 Waste to energy converter 52 Granulated, - Plastic waste - Rubber waste - Non-recyclable mixed waste Oil (47%) Petroleum Gas (18%) Char (35%)

53 Output from converter 53 53

54 CFL and tube light recycling system Discarded tube lights and CFLs Recovers mercury vapor which is sent to recyclers Contain mercury vapor which is very toxic. Mercury can get into human body through air, water, food chain and adversely affects health Separates glass, plastic and metal components from hazardous material to enable recycling 54 54

55 Biogas plant at Mysore DC kgs of organic waste per day 23.5 kgs of LPG per day Used in kitchens in food courts

56 Beema Bamboo for carbon sequestration Wonder crop for carbon sequestration and energy generation Grows at the rate of 1 feet per day (after one year), Has three times higher thickness (cross section) than normal bamboo, hence higher biomass Sequesters 8 times more carbon than normal plant for same acreage of plantation Energy crop of the future - renewable biomass of bamboo can be used to generate electricity (Calorific value 4000 kcal/kg)
