 Passive design: Right orientation - Restricted building span to 18 m  Efficient building envelope
22 W
- Wall Insulation (U value less than 0.4 W/m2 K)

- Roof Insulation (U value less than 0.34 W/m2 K)

Heat ingress through standard wall
- Double glazing with argon gas to lower U value

- Low SHGC with low e glass

 Integrated design approach

- Performance based, common goal for entire design team Heat ingress through efficient wall

Window-wall ratio < 30% - External heat gain not to exceed 0.75 W/sqft 5 times more efficient

Conclusion
• Green Buildings (rather “Rightly designed buildings”) always have a lower initial
cost Thank You
• Green buildings have a significantly lower operating cost
• Green buildings have several associated benefits for the occupants Guruprakash Sastry
