PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Introduction to green design & green architecture Statistics of green buildings in India Concept of green design: at micro level Concept of green architecture: at macro level Our concept:- dream plan Site study & measures to turn them green Conclusion

GREEN DESIGNDesign and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impacts of buildings on the environment and occupants in five broad areas:-

1)SUSTAINABLE SITE PLANNING

2)SAFEGUARDING WATER AND WATER EFFCIENCY

3)ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

4)CONSERVATION OF MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

5)INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

RATING SYSTEM

REF.- www.igbc.in, www.cii.org , www.architectureweek.com , www.teriin.org

The leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED INDIA) IS A GREEN BUILDING RATING SYSTEM is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. there are 150 registered green buildings and 23 LEED certified buildings in INDIA.

TERI-GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), is the national rating system for green buildings in India. It was developed jointly with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to the Indian Government. It is a green building design evaluation system and is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the country. All buildings more than 2,500 sq m, (except for industrial complexes), which are in the design stage, are eligible for certification under GRIHA.

GRIHA rating system consists of 34 criteria categorized under various sections such as Site Selection and Site Planning, Conservation and Efficient Utilization of Resources, Building Operation and Maintenance, and Innovation points.Eight of these 34 criteria are mandatory, four are partly mandatory, while the rest are optional. Each criterion has a number of points assigned to it. It means that a project intending to meet the criterion would qualify for the points. Different levels of certification (one star to five stars) are awarded based on the number of points earned. The minimum points required for certification is 50.

KEY CONCEPTS OF GREEN BUILDING

· First Costs/Savings = costs and savings from incorporating green features into a building.

· Life-Cycle Costs/Savings = costs/savings over a building’s or feature’s useful life

· Relative costs components of a commercial building over 30 years8 Design & building = 2%8 Operations, maintenance, finance & employees = 98%8 Key point: more should be spent on better design

Tier I - incorporate as low or zero cost improvements Energy efficient appliances. Passive solar features for thermal comfort , natural ventilation and optimized

orientation. Dual-flush toilets; water-efficient fixtures and flow restrictions. Natural methods of decentralized water treatment systems and energy efficient water

pumping systems.

Tier II – incorporate as far as possible as short pay-backs

Efficient lighting. Solar water heaters. Rainwater harvesting and storage systems. Heat exchanger for climate control systems.

Economic Factors

GREEN DESIGN- MICRO LEVEL

GENERAL MEASURES

GREEN ARCHITECTURE-MACRO LEVEL Erosion & Sedimentation Control – Taking measures to prevent soil

erosion

Site Selection – Land shouldn't be a agricultural land

Development Density & Community Connectivity – It is required to have at least 10 basic services within 0.5mile radius

Brownfield Redevelopment – Rehabilitate waste land

Alternative Transportation – Public Transport Access – Bicycle Use – Alternate Fuel Vehicle – Reduce parking capacity Site Development – Protect or restore habitat – Maximize Open space

Storm Water Design – Minimize storm water run-off – Treat 90% of average rainfall

Heat Island Effect – Reduce heat islands on roof – Reduce heat islands on non-roof

Light Pollution Reduction – Eliminate up lights and light trespass from the building site

SITE SURVEY

Saloh, Tehsil Haroli, Distt. Una, Himachal Pradesh

Saloh Uperla- 1765Saloh Nichala-1519

Saloh is a Village in Haroli Tehsil in Una District of Himachal Pradesh State, India. It is located 7 KM towards South from District head quarters Una. 112 KM from State capital Shimla This Place is in the border of the Una District and Hoshiarpur District . It is near to the Punjab State Border.

Main occupation is Agriculture- Wheat, Maize, Potatoes, Sunflower.

OUR CONCEPT

DEFORESTATION DUE TO BURNING OF WOOD FOR COOKING

DEPLETION OF WATER SOURCES LIKE POND CONVERSION OF RURAL AREAS INTO CONCRETE

JUNGLES AMPLE AVAILABILTIY OF OPEN LAND OPEN DEFECATION

PRESENT SCENARIO

GREEN BUILDING: Generally the features of green building in urban areas are used in a limited space.

Instead of vertical development horizontal development in rural areas would help more. Amenities could be developed in decentralised form for developing of

”SUSTAINABALE GREEN RURAL AREAS”

SITE SURVEY 1:

UPLAND

LOW-LAND

NO STREET LIGHTING

PROBABLE ENERGY SOURCES THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED:• CONCEPT1: WIND TURBINES CAN BE SET ON THE UPPER ALTITUDES.• CONCEPT2: ARTIFICIAL WATER SOURCES COULD BE DEVELOPED AT UPLAND AND

WATER CAN BE PROVIDED AT VILLAGES NATURALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.• CONCEPT3: SOLAR PANELS CAN BE INSTALLED AT UPLAND FOR ENERGY

GENERATION THAT CAN BE CHANNELD FOR THE USE IN STREET LIGHTING.

CONCEPT 3-IF HABITATION IS TO BE DEVELOPED ON UPLAND

INTEGRATED CONCEPT 1 & CONCEPT 3

PASSIVE SYSTEMS:AT MICRO LEVEL

COURTYARD PLANNING

NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTATION OF LONGER SIDE OF BUILDING.

PLANTING DECIDOUS PLANTS AT SOUTHERN SIDE OF BUILDING AND EVERGREEN ON REST OF THE SIDES.

USE OF VERNACULAR MATERIAL FOR CONSTRUCTION.

Trombe Wall

Wind Catchers

SITE SURVEY 2:

POND

FLAT SURROUDING

SEASONAL DISTRIBUTORY FOR RIVER & ITS SURROUNDING AREA

IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS: Decrease in water level of pond

Decreasing water level in Wells

Water Stagnation Problem

Water cutting the banks

ROAD CONSTRUCTION

WATER CUTTING THE BANKS

PROBABLE SOLUTIONS:• Expanding the water source for more water throughout the year for temperature control & irrigation.• Development of leisure areas in surrounding.• Harvesting water by seasonal distributary for use in raising water table level.• Development of water harvesting system at micro level.• Construction of drains along the roads that end up in the pond.• Vegetation in the Distributary- Bitter gourd, Bottle gourd, Ridge gourd, Cucumber, Watermelon, Tomatoes.• Small Check Dams along the distributary.

SITE SURVEY 3: IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS:

OPEN DEFECATION

• Open defecation• Pit type toilets polluting ground water in

the area where Hand Pumps/Wells are used

PROBABLE SOLUTIONS:• Developing community toilet.

• Development of dry / ECOSAN toilet.

COOK STOVES

Three stone fires are 5-7% efficient! So, it is possible to engineer a better stove that is more efficient and affordable

FUEL EFFICIENT STOVES DESIGNS

Several dozen well-designed efficient biomass cook stoves already exist. Much ongoing research for past decades in many countries. Some examples of fuel efficient stoves:

CONCLUSION:

The proposed model is practically feasible and with the proper efforts of govt. as well as rural communities can bring about a drastic change in rural India.

Only a much needed awareness and motivation can implement this change.
