The office complex has been built as per the green building norms prescribed by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) under the supervision of a Bengalaru-based engineering company.
The office complex has solar panels on roof tops, percolation wells for harvesting rainwater and facility to recycle used water. The office complex’s construction design ensures that there is no requirement of electricity either for heating or for air-conditioning. The use of China mosaics in the construction helps keep the indoors of the office complex warm or cold as per requirement.
“Climate change is having disastrous effects on our environment. This office complex demonstrates a judicious way to combat them and create an environment where energy is efficiently used. This office complex is a model for others to set up green projects in urban and semi-urban areas,” said KB Upadhyay, district development officer.
