CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO

i) Conservation of energy

The main aim of the policies and technologies being adopted by the Company, in execution of its projects are to keep the embodied energy of the buildings as low as possible by adopting following techniques:

1. Selecting materials which have low embodied energy and which are more energy efficient.

2. Designing of services which will consume least energy during the operation of the building.

3. Using construction techniques which use less energy during the process of execution.

Besides ensuring low embodied energy through appropriate interventions it is also being ensured that the energy requirements during operation phase are also low.

Details of steps being adopted for Conservation of energy are enumerated below:

a) Selection of materials

Use of following materials is being encouraged on the project

• Poly Propylene Pipes/PVC pipes are being used for water supply and drainage works in place of traditional Galvanized Iron or Sand Cast Iron pipes.

• Unitized Sub-Stations (USS) are proposed to be used in place of conventional transformers and capacitor banks. The USS is, compact, fully safe and requires less space to get accommodated. It has inbuilt capacitor bank to maintain the power factor above 0.9.

• Using sandwich type rising mains, in place of conventional cable system for power distribution. These rising mains are maintenance free, have very less voltage drop, are easy to install & have more life. They are also very safe as they have no chimney effect; hence provide a better resistance to the spread of fire.

• Using Compact florescent lamp fittings & LEDs for the lighting in common/passage areas, offices etc. has helped reduce electricity requirement.

• All elevators have Variable Frequency Drives. These consume about 30% lower energy during operation as compared to single frequency drive machines. The elevators are also designed to act in tandem thus respond faster to the calls.

• Use of dual energy meters log the energy consumption from mains and/or DG sets and also capture data through electronic interface and generate bills automatically. These also send alerts in advance indicating the balance left and requesting for recouping the payments. This reduces man hours spent in collecting this information.

• Rotary Air Cooled Screw Chillers having VFD for Air-conditioning plant have been provided. These chillers adjust the energy requirements when cooling loads vary.

• For all central units which do not have direct access to the outer shell, water cooled system of air-conditioning has been provided. This helps in keeping energy requirements to the bare minimum.

• Using broken brick bat coba type water proofing for terrace. This helps in using all broken brick bats and also provides good thermal insulation.

• Using package type of sewage treatment plant. These plants are very easy to install and operate. The waste water generated is odorless and can be recycled for flushing system or Horticulture purposes. The solid waste generated can be used as manure.

• Special high performance glass is being used in the front facade and the windows. This glass has high light transmission but low heat conductivity. This has helped in reducing the overall heat gain of the building thus reducing the requirement of chillers etc.

b) Design elements being adopted for making buildings energy efficient

? The orientation of the building and the glazing is designed to more light penetration and yet prevent ingress of direct heat from sun light.

• Large windows and atrium are provided to allow natural light to penetrate to greater depths in the building thus reducing dependence on artificial lighting.

• Staircases and lifts are so located to allow easy vertical access. Reduction in travel distance and time reduces energy consumption during operational stage of the building.

• Provision for segregated air-conditioning system for common areas and office spaces has been done to reduce energy consumption and also allow targeted cooling of specific areas.

• The entire slab is designed as ‘flat slab to permit easier carrying of services and also permit easy casting and less wastage.

• A terrace garden is proposed to be created to provide for a pleasant view and permit the occupants to enjoy open space without having to leave the building.

ii) Technology absorption

Following modern construction/operation technologies being adopted

• The common area lighting is controlled from MCBs to ensure easy control.

• The external lighting system is proposed to be controlled by the timer switches. The time for the ON/OFF of Lights is set to match the setting/rising of Sun.

• Provision for rainwater harvesting is being made to make it a zero discharge building.

• Intelligent building management system is proposed to be installed which will monitor all operative parameters in real time and permit optimization of energy consumption.

• Building is equipped with a state of the art fire detection system which will help pin point the source of fire. It also has a talk back system and a public address system to ensue easy communication in case of any mishap. This system is supplemented with an automatic fire suppression system.

• Fiber optic cable is being used in the building to help carry large volume of data.
