ITC Green Centre, Gurgaon

General Information:
City: Gurgaon
Climate: Composite
Operational schedule: Day time, 5 working days in a week
Area of the building: 15,799 m
(9294 m - Air conditioned area and 6505 m Non-Air conditioned area)

Green Building Design Features:

Building Design

L shaped design with main entrance towards

North

Longer axes along NE and NW directions

By L shape configuration, the width of the floor

plate is reduced for the same amount of floor
plate area thereby allowing natural light to
penetrate deep into the interior spaces.

It ensures that part of the faade is always

shaded

External Walls

Walls of air-conditioned zones in all blocks 230mm AAC block with 70mm stone
cladding and 12.5 mm plaster inside

Roof

120mm RCC roof with 76mm ISO board on interior side

Windows

Double glazing window (6-12-6)

The glazing for the building has been designed to maximize the effect of natural light,
largely eliminating the need for artificial light during day time.

The high performance window glass, while allowing light inside, does not allow heat
and also keeps office cool from inside during the day decreasing the load on HVAC
systems

Higher light transmission glass on North orientation for better day light integration

Optimum WWR which is 40% less than ECBC standard helps in reducing external
solar heat gain

Building Lighting

Luminaires used mostly CFLs and T5 lamps in mirror optic fixtures, 36W
fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts are used in storages, electrical and
mechanical rooms

LPD 7.2W/m2

LPD (7.2W/m2) is less than the max allowed LPD of ECBC (10.8W/m2) which is
very good

According to Energy Star, CFLs provide the same amount of light as an ordinary
bulb using 75% less energy

T5 lights have higher efficiency and system miniaturization with daylight life about
18000 hours as compared to 8000 hours of standard fluorescent lamps

Good natural light available in office spaces

Day Light Controls

Switch off daylight sensors with Philips make (model no. LRI 1430/00 ENEC)

Daylight controls switch off lights when daylight is sufficient, reducing the energy
consumption of the building

HVAC System Design

Central AC system with 3 screw chillers of 815 TR capacity and CoP 6.1.
