Eco-friendly materials for cost saving and use of passive techniques to lower carbon footprint

Parag and his wife Juhi wanted their dream eco-friendly home in Bengaluru. With the help of carefully designed passive techniques like optimum orientation and size of windows, ensuring proper daylight and cross ventilation, integrated shading devices they were able to reduce their energy bill by upto 40%. Other strategies like using locally sourced materials with high thermal mass, construction cost was reduced by 10-15%. Higher thermal mass also served as an important factor in maintaining a pleasant temperature of about <28 degrees throughout the year including peak summers.

Refurbishing to upgrade the building envelope and reduce the energy bill

Ramesh decided to refurbish his house in one of the old construction apartments of Delhi NCR. Some main issues he faced were high energy bill, poor quality doors and windows, overheating in certain parts of the house which led to continuous use of air conditioning. Additionally, spaces were poorly lit and lacked character.

After analysing the existing building envelope and understanding the clients’ personal requirements, solutions of appropriate insulation, retrofitting doors and windows to avoid air leakages, designing shading devices to control overheating were provided to minimise energy consumption. Smart and efficient lighting fixtures and eco-friendly materials were used for interiors to achieve a naturally cooler, efficient and healthier environment.  Ramesh’s annual energy bill was reduced by a whopping 55%.

Use of renewable sources to generate additional energy for the building and its neighbourhood

In addition to passive design strategies, Rahul’s family wanted to explore renewable design strategies for their home in Bengaluru, to obtain a zero-energy bill by producing their own electricity.

A 10-kilowatt solar installation was proposed which generates around 1000 units of solar power every month. Rahul‘s family consumes around 250 units which allows them to sell the surplus 750 units to the electricity board at a rate of Rs. 9 per unit based on the solar scheme.

Their potential earnings are around Rs 70,000 from their surplus power. As an investment this will give them a return of Rs 17,50,000 over a period of 25 years.

Following environment friendly strategies - rainwater harvesting and waste management

Shreyas and his wife Priya wanted to adapt a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle. They wanted to be able to produce their own food, collect rainwater and generate their own electricity.

Rainwater harvesting strategies were used to meet their water usage requirement and recharge the ground water. Their rainwater harvesting tank is able to store about 4,00,000 litres per annum out of which they tend to consume less than half.

This water is also used for organic farming with the help of compost made from vegetable waste. This helps in improving overall environment and providing fresh air.
