The floor plan is zoned as per security requirements. Most of the public functions are located near the entrance to restrict public access to sensitive areas. These areas are organized using a public courtyard.

A second courtyard is private to police officers and wraps all official working spaces around it. It ensures natural light in all spaces while also maintaining the required level of security, being separated from the public courtyard.

The PDEC tower works in conjuction with the two courtyard to ensure a free flow of breeze. The tower has micronizers which dampen and cool the outdoor air, which comes down, absorbs heat and excapes from courtyard through stack effect.

Daylight and Illuminance

How effective is the operable shading device?

How effective is the operable shading device?

Suggested mode of operation for maximum window shading, thermal comfort and energy performance:

Eastern windows closed during summers from 8-10AM.

West windows closed in the afternoons all year round atleast from 3:30PM till sunset.

Northern and Southern windows can be kept open or closed as per user requirement.

Summer months are shaded.

The wall to window ratios (WWR) have been optimized (average 18%) to have spatial daylight autonomy in 47.4% of the floor area. The sunlight exposure (>1000 lux) have been limited to 6.9% of the area, mostly near the courtyards.

The average illuminance in the building is 658 lux, above the minimum requirement of 200-500 lux recommened by BIS.

Resilience

Resilience against heatwaves

The city faces the threat of heat waves (especially in May), and to ensure comfort during such events is important.

Strategies such as Passive downdraft evaporative cooling (PDEC), building orientation optimization, self-shading of the structure and the mass using bamboo skin and shading devices, stack effect in courtyards, and using wall and roof assemblies with higher U-values than conventional configurations have been used for maximizing thermal comfort.

Thermal comfort during heatwaves

Simulations with values of thermal comfort acheived during Heat vawes have been shown here. Heatwave period in Nagpur: 148th to 155th day of the year (28th May to 4th June - “Navtapa”)

IMAC acceptability range during May : Achieved maximum RT:

NV Zone: 28.5 deg to 33.2 deg

PDEC Zone: 23.7 deg to 30.6 deg

VRF Zone: 24.3 deg to 27.3 deg

NV Zone: 32.9 deg

PDEC Zone: 28.8 deg

VRF Zone: 28.2 deg

Fire Safety

Energy:

The presence of ammunition and increased consumption of electrical equipment in the Police station leads to increased chances of fire.

• 20% reduction in lighting power density and 10.8% lower electrical consumption with optimized daylighting design.

• Annual revenue of Rs. 17,3,065 generated from excess energy produced by PV panels, reducing OPEX by 41% and recovering excess capex in 5.5 years.

Fire safety norms are adopted based on the NBC-Part 4 to make the building resilient during fire emergencies.

• Dimmed lighting fixture linked to sensors saves up to 30% of lighting cost and complete shutting down of appliances saves up to 50% energy and cost.

• Use of Lithium Ion Batteries reduces OPEX by 20% compared to the base case.

Cooling Systems:

• Reduction in OPEX cost by 34% annually.

• Sensors control the lighting and temperature of the utilizing area based on the system operating, saving 35% in OPEX annually.

Water Performance:

• Cost-cutting of Rs. 2,73,967.5 on water bills annually due to rainwater harvesting and greywater treatment.

Resilience against power outages

• 43% water saved due to the use of low-flow faucets and fixtures, saving Rs. 1,17,806.025.

Thermal comfort was achieved in all 3 zones during the critical heatwave period successfully.

Flood Resilience

With Nagpur experiencing an increase in extreme heavy rainfall-triggered floods and the site being located in a depressed area, the building needs to be resistant to localized flooding.

Elevated Plinth: The plinth of the buildings is raised to 1.1 m which prevents entry of water into the interiors. Fly-ash brick with cement plaster was selected as the primary material for the walls, as their characteristics such as drying time, durability, porosity, and amount of water absorbed, ensure a better Post-flood resistance strategy.

Bioretention swales: They are designed to capture and filter runoff from the parking areas, while also enhancing the aesthetics of the site by incorporating a variety of vegetation. The swales not only improve air quality, but also act as a cost-effective alternative to traditional stormwater management methods.

Life Cycle Cost and Benefit Comparision

The site in Pardi, being in the outskirts of the city, is susceptible to frequent power cuts, particularly during summers. Therefore, it is crucial for the police station to have a backup power source in case of emergencies.

The upfront cost being reduced, gives a direct picture that how green systems are helping to achieve net zero structure and saving cost at the same instance. Also, LCCA makes the decision making easier. The LCCA for various green building systems was done for a period of 25yrs and 60yrs, in comparison to the base case. There was an increase of 9% in CAPEX i.e. from 10.64 Cr to 11.70 Cr , due to the strategies and the systems used which in turn makes a reduction of 15.7% in OPEX compared to Base case

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF)

To address this issue, we propose the use of a lithium-ion solar battery that stores electricity generated from the rooftop solar panels. During blackouts, the stored energy can be used to power essential services such as server rooms, wireless and communication systems, life safety systems, including egress lighting, smoke evacuation, fire alarm systems, elevators, etc. Moreover, the radio systems will be on standby power, enabling the station to manage operations during emergencies.

Sufficiency and Autonomy for critical functions

Water facility:

Total water storage capacity (critical storage + main storage) at a given point is 1,50,000 L and daily water demand is 7346 L.

Total water storage capacity / Daily water demand = Days of Autonomy

i.e. 1.50,000/7346= 20.4 days of autonomy

Solar Photovoltaics

Energy Efficiency:

Annual energy consumption is 2,43,478 kWh which includes lighting, cooling, and equipment.

The total annual energy generated using solar PV (both rooftop and parking panels) is 2,43,750 kWh

In all the months (except May, June, July, August), excess energy is generated out of which energy to power essential services for 24 hrs is stored in lithium-ion batteries on site, and the remaining is utilized in the energy sharing mechanism. In the months where energy generated is insufficient, it is taken from the local mini grid or the city grid and stored in the batteries for emergency uses.

Maximizing Views while Minimizing Glare

Thermal Comfort

Sensible Loads: Radiant Cooled Slabs

The radiant cooling system inherently provides a healthier indoor air quality as there is no recirculation of air in the system. Reduced chiller capacity as compared to conventional forced air conditioning. About 35% reduction in annual energy consumption.

Latent Loads: DOAS

Indoor Air Quality

Air Curtains: Air curtains are installed at doorways to ensure limited air mixturing when the doors are opened.

View plays an important role in an occupant’s appraisal of the interior environment and to establish contact with the exterior environment. The WWR were decided in a way that views are maximized and visual discomfort due to glare is minimized.

Reduces indoor pollution because contaminants are not transferred readily between rooms, as is the case with centralized HVAC. Avoids condensation in highly humid conditions, while using radiant cooling.

This has a huge impact on design of the building, because this air-and-water system removes the need for large plenum space required by all-air systems, saving considerable height on each floor.
