WATER EFFICIENCY
Water efficiency is an integral part of the sustainability initiatives. Special efforts have been taken to minimize water use by
installing water efficient fixtures, effective rainwater harvesting and sewage treatment plant(15 KLD) to treat 100% of
onsite waste water for reuse
The entire rain water on-site is captured and stored in huge rain water harvesting ponds with capacity over 12 lakhs liters
per day.
100% of the treated water on-site shall be reused for landscaping and toilet flushing thereby minimizing the use of potable
water for all these applications
Low flow dual-flush toilets, sensor based urinals and other low flow fixtures have been installed to reduce potable water
consumption by over 35%.
The project has ensured up to 95.97% of total construction waste of debris has been recycled or reused thereby diverting
them from landfills.
The project has achieved a combined recyclable content value of 12.73% of total material by cost thereby reducing virgin
material exploitation.
A number of materials have been extracted and manufactured locally/regionally thereby reducing the pollution associated
with transportation.
NOVELTIES
The project achievement exceeds the threshold of 95% for exemplary performance in Construction Waste Management.
66.38% of the total project’s materials, based on cost, were manufactured regionally. The project Achievement is higher than
the next incremental percentage threshold of 40%. The building has been designed by En3 to showcase various green and
sustainability measures and practices and the effort is to use this building to create greater awareness on green concepts and
sustainability to all its visitors and occupants & spearhead the green movement in the state and the country.
