About

After proper market study it found that their a demand for shopping mall in coimbatore also an it is found that there was an ongoing proposal by globuse arima developer of coimbatore.hence this project was designed by taking live project consideration.

NEXUS ECLAT MALL

CONCEPT: URBAN OASIS

“Urban Oasis” is mostly an urban design concept, which try to incorporate various open spaces, parks or plaza between large urban building massing. It acts as a go to place for the people living in the urban fabric for various kind of interaction, recreation ,relaxation etc,. Similarly, In the context of shopping mall this concept urban oasis here will be incorporated by providing various that island like open spaces like oasis within the shopping mall along with some outdoor area with an ambition of promoting recreation, relaxation and mindfulness etc.

WHY THIS CONCEPT?

• By incorporating such concept can potentially improve the footfall of the place

• Creates the shopping mall a landmark place not for shopping but also for recreation etc.

• It create can add up to inclusivity by inviting all gender and age group people.

• It can improve business and economic growth by bring in more customer for shopping who initially didn’t have the objective of shopping.

HOW THIS CONCEPT WILL BE ACHIEVED?

• By incorporating various open spaces inside the premises

• By providing activities in the common area

• By enabling terrace garden hence its looks like a green mass

• By Incorporating natural elements in the building

COMMUNITY RESILIENT SHELTER

Project typology: community resilient shelter

Location: penthakata, puri ,Orissa.

About: penthakata village is in the puri district of Orissa. The population of this place is roughly estimated around 13000. The livelihood of most people in this place is fishing. Since this place is vulnerable to natural hazards like floods and cyclone there is a need of a community resilient shelter for this community.

Site details

Location: penthakata , puri, orissa.

Climate:warm and humid

Site area:1560 sq. M

Terrain: almost flat

Soil typology: sandy soil

Ground cover:707 sq. M (6m setbacks considered from all sides)

Permissible far= 1.75( according PKDA assembly building code

Max built up area that can be achieved –2720sq.M (considering g+2 =707 + 707 +707 =2121 )

Outcome

Achieved built up area= 1237.5 sq. m

Min occupant capacity during disaster= 200 people

The core ideology of the building is providing shelter for penthakata people during Disaster and during non-disaster times the building should serve to people in terms of revenue generation place like community hall and place for education during day for uplifting the community

The design was done by considering real life scenario Selco foundation an NGO was actively engaged in building pukka housing for people below BPL. since this place is prone disaster frequently the idea of community resilient shelter was pitched and design was proposed to accomodate 200 people during disaster times. within a site of nearly 1400 sq.m. the design also integrated certain ECMs and better structural safety during disaster times

NET ZERO WATER PERFORMANCE-SOLAR DECATHLON

Water performance was one of our biggest concern when it comes to this particular project. Even though our annual rainfall ranges from nearly 1300 mm per year , our occupancy load was lightly when compared to building foot print. In spite of these challenges we still achieved net positive water cycle,

Strategies used for efficient water performance

By considering efficient fixtures we have brought down the water demand from 135lpcd to 90lpcd By recycling the on site generated grey water to an efficiency of 75%.

Treatment procedure :The plant canna indica is used for root zone treatment. Then the water passes through chemical chamber which uses flocculent and disinfectant to make the water to reuse at a standard quality .In this project we are not treating the black water so the black water sent to the settler and then to the municipal sewage line

Impact of the national building rating system on electricity demand of India

Abstract

The building sector is one of the biggest consumers of electricity in India. Climate change and global warming, as one of the most serious risks to human societies, are inextricably linked to energy usage and Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). With a population of nearly 1.38 billion, India is the world’s second largest country. The majority of Indian urbanization is involuted rather than evolved. Between 1991 and 2011, the urban population expanded by 73 percent, from 217 million to 377 million, while energy demand more than doubled from 1990 to 2009. GRIHA — Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment is an indigenous building rating system developed by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt. of India. GRIHA is a rating system that compares the building’s performance to nationally accepted benchmarks. It assesses a building’s environmental performance over the course of its full life cycle. With annual electricity consumption data for both residential and commercial sectors of India, with the linear regression methodology, the electricity demand till the year 2050 was plotted. Similarly, using the data from the GRIHA council and the Reference Building model, the annual electricity savings for GRIHA certified buildings has been plotted. Using non-linear regression, the savings for the years 2030 and 2050, has been plotted. The results show a positive indication that with stricter implementation of the energy conservation policies similar to GRIHA, by the govt of India, there can be significant savings in the energy Sector.

Savings due to GRIHA For Residential buildings

As discussed in the above sections, the National Building Rating system of India (GRIHA), has the promise to bring the change in the larger perspective of the nation, as this rating system has already proved its sustainable credentials in a smaller scale. As in the above-mentioned literature, GRIHA has a substantial impact in lowering the building’s EPI, when compared to a conventional building, which not only reduces the annual energy consumption, but also improves livability and thermal comfort in the structure. Now looking at the bigger picture, GRIHA as a rating system has the potential in helping reduce the electricity demand of the country which intern reduces the load on the power generation and the power grid systems. This also helps in mitigating the risks of climate change, by significantly reducing the GHG emissions as CO2.

The results of this study show that, a large-scale impact can only be possible with the intervention of the Government in making strict changes to the policies. If the policy changes are not implemented, then the graph (Fig. 3) might follow the linear pattern which is not ideal for achieving the goal of reducing the electricity demand. Hence, the government should make sure that at the right intervals, desired changes can be brought into the energy sector, where the projected demand can drop considerably. Economic incentives are commonly used to promote green buildings. The affordability of green construction is a key barrier, and economic incentives that might boost affordability and the construction drive. Subsidies, tax cuts, rebate systems and low-cost loans are the most common forms of economic incentives.

In India, there are varieties of schemes provided by a few state governments, which range from tax benefits to the Gross Floor Area concession schemes. These incentives are provided by the various state governments to promote the Green Building movement in the country and are provided based on the green rating system given by the Indian Green Building Council [15].

One of the more popular schemes is the Gross Floor Area concession scheme, where the developers are allowed to construct additional floor areas without any extra-added costs [16].

Based on a case study in Hong Kong, it was found that, the Gross Floor Area concession scheme indeed improved Green Building market penetration, even if it caused lots of transaction costs. This incentive would be given based on the green star rating systems considered by the government [17].

Furthermore, research findings reveal that Green Buildings do not have a price premium in the property market. If the market is not willing to pay for green design or green features, developers will provide these designs. As a result, government intervention is required to provide an incentive to jumpstart the market and educate the consumers. When there would be sufficient maturity in the market, the government could consider removing the incentive or using it to push for greater performance criteria [17].
