7. Path 1
Integrated design approach
it is possible to apply green materials and advanced technologies in
the building design projects to consume less energy. Building
design for green buildings involves many professionals across
different areas. Many factors need to be taken into account,
including climate, building share, comfort levels, material and
systems, and health.
Integrated building design requires all participants including
owners, architects, engineers and others involve at the early phase
of the building project. Building energy performance depends not
only on the performance of an individual technology but also on
How these perform as an integrated system.

8. Figure illustrates the interrelationships among the four main
influences on energy efficiency and the key energy consumers.
Researches says that integrated design approaches will achieve
the best performance in terms of energy saving. Integrated
design approaches could reduce energy use by as much as 72%.
Integrated design approach through BIM
An innovative new approach to building design, construction,
And management.
Building information modeling supports the continuous and
immediate availability of project design scope, schedule, and cost
information that is high quality, reliable, integrated, and fully
coordinated.

Soil Conservation Till Post Construction
In the college site the soil is stabilized in areas,vulenarable to
erosion by converting the areas into terraces
, constructing retaining walls ,gravel trenches along the
slopes to catch the run-off .The soil having deficiencies
provided with nutrients for growth of plants.
Provision of minimum level of sanitation & safety of workers
during construction has also been taken into account.
Reduce air pollution during construction by dust screen of
3 mt. high have been provided at top periphery of
construction site along with existing building

27. Efficient water use Construction

 Reduce volume, weight & time of construction by adopting an
efficient technology (e.g. pre cast systems & ready mix
concrete).
 Reduction in wastage during construction such s bricks , tiles ,
masonry materials ,concrete blocks were used for landscape &
sub base for external developments.
 Minimizing ozone
depleting substance.

28. CASE STUDY-4
LBHS College, Mumbai
LBHS is an architecture college
situated in the suburbs of Mumbai,
in India. It is a prime example of
Green Building Architecture.
The city of Bombay is a bit crowded,
and as such, land is at a premium.
So, the location provides enough
space for expansion and providing
sufficient infrastructure to students. SITE PLAN

29. This project is special because it has implemented many
energy-saving devices and techniques to make it one of the
first green building designs in India. From light sensors for
auto-switching of lights, to water recycling, use of solar
arrays and use of earth air tunnels, this project has done
everything. The designers have aimed at developing a semi-
autonomous building, almost self-sufficient building
complex.

30. The interesting feature of project apart from site planning &
material use is provision of Earth Air Tunnel to cool down
temperatures during the summer season, in order to reduce
energy costs.
Earth- air tunnels may be considered
as special types of wind towers
connected to an underground tunnel.
The cooling process is based on the
fact that the temperature a few meters
below the ground is almost constant
throughout the year. A wind tower is
connected to the underground tunnel,
which runs from the bottom of the
wind tower tothe basement of the building. The wind tower catches
the wind which is forced down the tower into the tunnel. The
temperature of the tunnel, being lower than that of the ambient
temperature, cools the air before it is circulated into the living
space.

31. CASE STUDY-5
Thiagaraj Convention Center ,Chennai
 Special Features
Control light system, a glass
technology that produces uniform
lighting throughout the year.
A 30mm translucent polycarbonate
panel is installed in between which
has intelligent light controllers.
These louvers have an opaque reflective
surface. The atrium and preconvention
spaces experience the luminous effect brought by this system.

32. Hybrid fiber optics uniformly distributes sunlight through a
single point source. This technology uses rooftop mounted 1200mm
diameter collector and secondary mirror to track the sun
throughout the day. A single holder holds 127 individual fibers each
3mm in diameter.
The collector system focuses the sunlight into 127 optical fibers
connected to hybrid light fixtures equipped with diffusion rods
visually similar to fluorescent light bulbs. These rods spread light in
all directions, one collector powers 8-12 hybrid light fixtures which
can illuminate an area of
about 30-40 sqm.

33. 1. The significance of this category is to encourage
architects, engineers, planners & developers to innovate new
strategies & technologies in the field of green building
construction.
2. Also it encourage people to not limit themselves the green
building criteria determined by LEED INDIA but further
enhance their projects beyond the limits.
3. New technologies and products are coming into the
marketplace, and innovative designs are proving their
effectiveness.
4. If this category is achieved than more environment friendly
structures will come having higher energy efficiency as
compared to others.
5. But in present scenario these projects are not economic viable
because of the high construction cost & lack of skilled
workmanship.
