PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The original Brief, conceived in August 2001 for Bio-sciences and Bio-Engineering Building
comprises 16 Laboratories for research, 2 Teaching Laboratories, Library, 100 capacity Seminar
Hall, 2 Nos. Class-rooms of capacity 30 each, Administrative offices, Canteen and ancillary
facilities. The user group comprises of graduate and undergraduate students and research
scholars.
From the very inception, there had been a high degree of awareness among the team players that
it is indeed a historic facility in more than one ways. It is the first facility of national importance
which has been created with the MP Local Area Development (MPLAD) funds, provided by
Shri Arun Shourie, Hon’ble Union Minister of Communication & Disinvestment. The
underlying theme behind the concept was to herald a new era in utilization of MPLAD Funds.
The importance of the concept could be gauged by the fact that the Hon’ble Prime Minister
chose to dedicate the facility to the nation, himself. Therefore the planning, designing &
execution of the building received the best of attention of all concerned.
LOCATION
The Complex is located in the academic core area in the campus of Indian Institute of
Technology, Kanpur. The immediate context of the project was the faculty buildings that
surrounded it which are predominantly ground plus one structures finished with exposed bricks
and concrete. It is located on a rectangular site with the longer side in the E-W direction.

VEHICULAR APPROACH
Since this complex is located on the campus, the building is provided with general vehicular
access at the reception lobby and seminar hall with a motorable service access towards the
service lobby and a separate pedestrian access to the canteen service area. The cycles and 2-
wheelers are provided with covered parking under the partly raised seminar hall and suitable car
parking is provided integrated with the surrounding buildings.
CONCEPT & DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
To provide a state of the art Research Laboratory Complex for work in the field of Bio-Sciences
and Bio-Engineering and provide modern teaching facilities comprising teaching labs,
classrooms library, seminar hall etc. The aim was to design a building which was not merely
functional, but also innovative in its response to some of the critical issues like energy
efficiency, environmental concerns etc.
The attempt was to move beyond focusing on

the quantative to capture qualitative human
element of the program. The design approach
and intent was holistic embracing design
expectation, technical requirements and budget
constraints.
Right from its inception, the awareness of the source of the fund, intent spirit and aspirations of
the donor played a very vital role in stimulating every member of the ‘team’ to achieve a
solution whole is greater than the sum of parts. The innovative ideas could only have been
implemented here due to the spirit and support of the donor, receptivity of the user group and the
teamwork of architects, consultants and Internal Works Department.
DESIGN PARAMETERS
• To integrate the new complex within the existing neighboring buildings of the campus.
• To segregate the Teaching Labs, meeting/seminar rooms from the research Labs.
• To provide an aspect of free spatial configuration to the teaching area, while honoring
the rigidity of the research wing.
• To provide for a conducive, interactive & open working environment
• To optimize the circulation and ancillary areas
• To provide flexibility in the Labs both in terms of services as well as layout.
DESIGN FEATURES
• A central landscaped courtyard and a 3 floor covered atrium with open staircases to
relieve the visual monotony of an enclosed indoor space and also provide an interactive
area outside of the labs.
2
• A meeting room envisaged to function like an informal congregational space for all
faculty and the research scholars overlooking a landscaped terrace with semi-covered
open space on one side and a covered atrium on the other.
• Since the complex is large, a conscious effort to break the mass and relate to a more
humane scale resulting in a stepping of the skyline by the introduction of courtyards,
terraces and pergolas.
• The design aims at providing a visually barrier free environment by providing glass
along the inner corridor walls both in individual labs as well as common areas.
• A spiral staircase-evocative of the DNA double helix has been strategically located at the
entrance court.
• The seminar hall has been lifted from the ground, thereby creating an architectural
feature. The resultant stilted area is used as cycle parking.
• The landscape and the road around the building so designed integrating the immediate
context of the site and providing common parking for ACMS and BSBE.
• Retaining & integrating the existing trees with the landscape.

ABOUT THE BUILDING & FACILITIES
Bio-sciences and Bio-Engineering Building at IIT, Kanpur consists of Laboratories for Bio-
Sciences, Bio-Engineering, Bio-informatics along with supporting facilities like Seminar Hall,
Library, Classrooms, Teaching Labs and Department Office. The building is designed as a three-
floor structure with a part basement with a total area of approximately 5,950 sq.mt (64,000
sq.ft). The Building comprising mostly of labs, which are highly service oriented, the thrust was
to design a module which could be efficiently put together thereby optimizing the circulation
while providing flexibility to the user. The research wing comprises of 16 lab modules each
occupying an area of approx. 1000 sq. ft. Each laboratory module comprises of research area
approx. 800 sq. ft., a Principal Investigator room 120 sq.ft. and a special facility room 100 sq.ft.

Each lab module is provided with dry and wet services at every 10’-0” through a vertical shaft
emanating from the basement. Within the lab the services are segregated by running wet
services like waste water supply in floor channels, which are pre-determined, and dry services
like electricity, communication, run on the ceiling with tap offs on the lab tables wherever
required. This provides an efficient and flexible lab arrangement for any field of research. A set
of 3 labs located one above the other on 3 floors are specially wired as computer labs which is in
turn linked up with the server room that is centrally located in the first floor.
The lab is provided with a main work area with the Principal Investigator’s room and Special
facility room abutting it. A typical lab is so designed that there are island worktables 10’-0”
apart and most equipments are located along the periphery of the room making the electrical
connection very easy (the Instrumentation room was located at the center to facilitate easy
access to each lab for use of common instruments). The seating for research scholars was located
in association with the windows in each lab and was provided with the necessary power and
communication outlets. The Labs are also provided with partly glazed walls, which assist in
making the space more open.
4
The floor finish on the channel easily identifies the services, both wet and dry. Each lab is
provided with a separate AHU, which renders the functioning of individual labs very cost
effective.
Typically on every floor a cluster of 6 or 4 laboratories is supported by 1 central instrumentation

room, 2 prefabricated cold rooms, 1 autoclave room and the chemical store.
BASEMENT
Attempt was to integrate innovative and efficient ideas in the building construction and detailing
itself. The basement was restricted to the essential area under the building just so as to facilitate
termination of all service shafts in the basement. Laboratory facility by its very nature was
highly service oriented and all services were so designed to emanate or terminate at the
basement. Furthermore, the service shafts were provided access only from the corridors. All of
this provided a fairly easy and convenient access to services staff without having to intrude into
research areas.
The basement walls are made of concrete finished with integrated tanking waterproofing method
from outside and plastered with waterproofing compound on the inside. The floor is done on a
raft and subsequently filled internally providing for sufficient drain and slopes. The basement
also houses other services like Battery room, R.O. plant room, AHU room etc. The basement is
provided access through 2 staircases located one at either end and a service lift to facilitate
equipment movement.
GROUND FLOOR
The main entrance to the campus is situated at the ground floor. The main entry is to the
reception which in addition to housing reception/enquiry etc also doubles as a visiting lobby.
Parts of the brief was to not allow visitors to the research areas and were to be met with at the
lobby only. The lobby therefore overlooks the 3-floor atrium, which in turn is overlooked onto
by the open corridors on one side and the open to sky entrance court on the other and abuts on
the third side onto the canteen. The central court is provided with modest seating around a
modest water body with some cascades/ fountains and planters. The sound of water along with
plants has resulted in quite a pleasing ambience.
5
The reception lobby leads further on to the ground floor of the research wing through controlled
access. A group of 3 research labs on either side are strung linear along the central spine which
houses common facilities like Instrumentation Room, Cold Room, Autoclave Room, Emergency
Shower etc. to the rear of the research wing is the service lobby which houses the service lift,
service staircase, drinking water cooler is located strategically at the roof level from where it is
fed by gravity at the various outlets on every floor.
Ground floor also consists of one teaching lab, one classroom and a partly covered stilted area
which is envisaged as a spill over of the seminar hall, entrance lobby to the seminar hall and a
canteen.
6
FIRST FLOOR
In the research wing, the set of research labs with the centralized facilities of instrumentation
room, prefabricated cold rooms, autoclave rooms etc are more or less identical to the ground
floor.
The academic wing of the complex comprises of teaching lab, 1 class room, library in addition
to the administrative offices located centrally to both. The academic and the research wing are
however not interconnected.
The seminar hall has an exit on the 1st floor in addition to the 2 entry points from the ground
floor partly for reasons of emergency.
SECOND FLOOR
The research wing is similar to the lower floors but housing only 4 laboratories with a terrace
that could be multifunctional and which at some point could even be converted into a
greenhouse. One part of the floor houses a meeting room that was specially designed as an
informal meeting place for all the faculty and research scholars overlooking a partly covered
terrace.

ABOUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES IN CONSTRUCTION
• The walls for the building are insulated to make them thermally efficient. The wall
construction comprises of cavity wall, 115 mm thick brick wall on either side with 50
mm expanded polystyrene insulation in between.
• Insulation of buildings is a well-practiced aspect used for energy conservation. In hot

climate conditions it should be ensured that the thermal mass is weakly coupled with
external heat source (i.e., solar radiation) but strongly coupled with the interior in order
to be able to absorb internal gains easily. Hence the most appropriate location of
insulation, in context of the composite climate of Kanpur, is on external face of a
building. However from maintenance and workmanship point of view, it was decided to
sandwich the insulation layers between two brick walls.
• Roof: The horizontal roof is more vulnerable to solar ingress as compared to vertical
surfaces. The building having a large horizontal spread has large exposed roof area.
Overdeck insulation using 2” expanded polystyrene insulation with integrated
waterproofing has been provided to reduce heat gains from roof. The top surface is of
broken china mosaic to reflect heat.
• Glazing: Windows and other glazed areas are most vulnerable to heat gain and loss.
Window location, sizing, specification and shading are very critical to thermal
performance of a building. Windows designed in a proper way can keep sun and wind
when desired, yet allow in complete natural light. Window design that allows for day
lighting integration can considerably cut down lighting energy consumption.
• Double glazed windows with low-emissive coating have been used in the air-conditioned
spaces of the building. The glazing used comprises of 2 nos. 6mm glass with 12 mm air
gap in between. The outer glass has low e-coating on its inner face.
• The window cills, parapets etc are finished with Kotah coping.

ABOUT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN
1.0 POWER SUPPLY
1.1 Power Sources The Power requirements of the building, approx 250 kw are being
met from three different and independent sources
Grid power from the I.I.T. Sub stations
Emergency power 50 kva from the Diesel Generating sets
installed in I.I.T – available in case of main grid power
failure
Solar power
In addition to the above the design incorporates Uninterrupted
Power Supplies (UPS) for critical loads.
1.2 Source voltage The Electrical power from the Grid and Emergency D G sets is
made available to the building at 415 Volt 3 phase 50 Hz..
1.3 Metering The energy consumption of the building is metered at the point of
receipt of power in the building.
2.0 ILLUMINATION DESIGN
2.1 Illumination The internal illumination design has been based on achieving the
design following maintained levels
parameters Labs, Seminar, Library and offices 400 lux.
Corridor and service areas 200 lux
2.2 Design The illumination system design has been based on power – watts
optimization per sq ft - and hence energy optimization but still maintaining the
illumination levels as desired above. This implied use of energy
efficient lamps and luminaires.
The design is based on energy efficient compact and tubular

fluorescent lamps (CFL & FTL). In addition, efficient light
fixtures such as Philips ‘X-tend’ are used.
The design of the system was computerized using lighting design

software and the number and location of luminaires was
optimized to achieve desired illumination level.
The design was based on reduced loss electronic ballasts to

ensure that operational costs are minimized.
It was appreciated that energy efficient systems and light fixtures

would be marginally higher in initial cost but this would be offset
with decrease in operational costs. A conscious decision was
therefore taken to adopt these light fixtures.
10
2.3 Illumination To conserve energy but maintain the desired illumination level
controls Time based automatic switching has been designed for
corridor lighting
Daylight sensors have been designed to optimize usage of
artificial lighting in the labs.
These features would conserve energy utilization by the

illumination design.

power in the shafts is with PVC insulated aluminium
conductor wires in conduits installed in shaft.
7.0 NON CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
7.1 Solar power Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) Panels are provided
over the central atrium to harness solar energy and convert the
same to electrical power for usage within the building.
An integrated system rated at 1 KVA power has been installed
and energy available is stored in the battery banks located in the
basement.
The lighting installed in the common areas, such as staircase,

corridor etc. is powered with the energy received from BIPV.
This system ensures that usage of solar power as available is

given priority over the grid power thus reducing energy drawn
from outside sources.

ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING
PLUMBING
• The plumbing system comprises of soil, waste and vent pipe systems for the toilets,
kitchen and AHU rooms connected to campus sewerage system.
• The corrosive and toxic wastes from the laboratories were connected to independent
vertical stacks and eventually connected to a sloping horizontal drain installed in the
ceiling of the basement. The drain connects to a sampling chamber for periodically
checking samples laboratory waste for monitoring purposes. The effluent from the
laboratories was then connected to a neutralization chamber containing limestone or any
other agent if so required. The final effluent was disposed into the campus sewer.
• Special Facility Rooms (SFR) provided on each floor has special wastes containing
Radio Active materials / Isotopes that need to be traced, identified and recovered. The
waste from these labs was carried separately in a set of pipes and collected in a special
chamber. The capacity, shape size and retention of the chamber was in accordance of the
recommendations of the IIT-K/BARC scientists to follow international norms for
handling, retrieving and disposing the radio active waste.
• The numbers of these are: Ground floor 6 nos.
First floor 6 nos.
Second floor 4 nos. Total 16 nos.
It was estimated that each Special Facility Room would consume an average of 100 l water per
day. i.e. a total of 1.600l per day for the whole building. The retention /recovery tank with a
capacity of seven days was of the order of 1,600 x 7 = 11,200 l say 11,000 l.

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Proposal to supply water directly to the entire building, depending on a constant and dependable
supply from the proposed 20m head RCC service reservoir would have resulted in water
shortage or no supply at least for some time causing unhygienic condition in the toilets. Our
proposal includes a 10,000 1 RCC overhead water tank on the building for the general usage and
toilets only. This has been done on all buildings in the entire IIT academic campus. The piping
for the toilets runs along the terrace and was independent of the supply to the laboratories
eliminating any cross connection contamination problems.

• Water quality
Water supply was obtained from the campus water grid, which is filled up by the local
tube wells. The quality of water supply is broadly within the parameters for drinking
water standards as per IS 10500. However the some of the important constituents of the
water were:
TDS 800 mg/l
Sulphates 81.26 mg./l
• Treatment
o No treatment is proposed for the domestic use.

o Water quality for laboratories.
With high TDS the quality of water was not suitable for scientific work where
excessive salts would cause corrosion as well as interfere with the experiments. It
was therefore proposed to provide a water treatment unit to remove the excess
salts by a packaged type of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant having a capacity of 500
lit. per hour and generate about 9000-10000 l per day. RO plants work more
effectively when run round the clock on a continuous basis. The plant was fully
automatic and required minimum attention.
• Distribution system
o Domestic use
16
Water supply for domestic use was be made from an overhead water tank
constructed on the top of the building .The tank was filled from a connection
from the Campus water grid (from the proposed new Campus Over Head Storage
Reservoir (OHSR)). No treatment or pumping is proposed.
o Laboratories
As proposed above water from the campus was collected in a raw water tank of
2,000 l capacity, treated in an RO plant and the treated water stored in another
water tank of capacity of 2,000 l. The treated water was pumped by an automatic
pumping system with a standby pump. As the building has an emergency power
supply chances of failure of the water system are minimal and not expected to last
more than a couple of minutes in a well-operated system. The system also
provided water at a min. pressure of 1.5 -2 kg/sqcm. as required in most scientific
laboratories. A supply from overhead tank limited the pressure to less than 3-5 m
head.

HOT WATER SUPPLY
• No hot water supply was required in toilets and in the laboratories.

• Hot water was supplied to the sinks in the Autoclaves rooms by local electric storage hot
water heaters .The capacity was 50 l with a 2kw heating element.
(One per floor/ 3Nos)

PLUMBING FIXTURES
• WCs: European wall hung WC with flush valve. Flexible ablution fitting
with each WC.
• Washbasin: Oval under counter washbasins with one cold water taps.
• Urinals: Large lipped urinals with battery operated magic eye flush mechanism.
• Accessories: As specified by Architects and required by users (Towel rods,
electric hand driers, liquid soap dispensers, paper towel dispensers etc)
• Floor Traps Floor traps where shown are provided with a cockroach trap.
LABORATORY FIXTURES
• Main Laboratories:
Only piping for all services is laid under plumbing work under each table with
connection to each vertical stack. No fixtures and fittings are included. These are
provided along with the laboratory furniture.
Each Laboratory is provided with a Floor trap and cockroach traps for draining spills and
wash up operations.
• Autoclave Rooms:
To provide acid resistant stainless steel sinks to SS grade 316. Two units of double sinks
with double draining boards with hot and cold supply using a common swivel mixer for
each unit is proposed.
• Emergency Showers
All laboratory floors are provided with an emergency shower in accessible areas for
drenching a person .An eye fountain will also be a part of the system.
PIPED MEDICAL GASES SYSTEM
• The building laboratories will be provided with piped gases viz:

Carbon-di-oxide (CO2) and Nitrogen from a centralized location with the gas stored in
cylinders. The piping was of copper pipes and installation executed by specialist
contractors executing piped medical gases system. The cylinder and manifold was
located on ground floor along with LPG cylinder but the pipes run in the ceiling of the
basement. (BOTH GASES ARE NON FLAMABLE AND DO NOT SUPPORT
COMBUSTION)
FUEL GAS (LPG)
• It is proposed to supply piped LPG from a common set of cylinders located at ground
floor and the main pipe running at the ceiling of the 1st floor. As LPG is heavier than air
it will settle at floor level and running the pipes in the basement ceiling is prohibited by
fire codes and is also an unacceptable practice.
18
• Fire Suppression System
The fire code requires provision of sprinkler system for buildings having basements with
areas > 200 sqm.
The basement will be protected with a sprinkler system supplied from the campus water
grid and supplied with a new OHSR which is expected to have a pressure of 20 m +. This
will provide the requisite pressure for the sprinklers.
The same main is proposed to be connected to a hose reel near each staircase to be able
to draw water from a wall mounted 20 mm dia. hose reel in case of fire.
SPECIAL NOTES
• PVC pipes for labs.

All laboratories use solutions which are acidic /alkaline in nature or are corrosive in
many ways. They attack all metal pipes and the pipes soon get corroded uPVC pipes are
rigid PVC pipes commonly used for corrosion resistant applications and have a long life.
They resist corrosion externally and internally and the most ideal material to use under
these conditions. On the other hand use of Cast iron pipes is full of hazards of corrosion
and the pies develop holes and leakage in a short span of life.
UPVC pipes have the limitation that they cannot accept high temperature discharges >
500 C. It will also be affected by strong concentrated and high temperature acid. The
pipes need to be more closely supported (spacing less than 1.5 m) for horizontal runs.
However the pipes are eminently suited for application for the proposed building.
• Automatic Pumping System
Utmost attention is needed to supply high water quality (with low chemical constituents)
and free from bacterial contamination. All scientific laboratories use sophisticated
equipment requiring hydraulic pressure for their operation with the pressure required
being 1.5 -2 bars. (10-20 m water head).
Water supply from locally placed overhead tanks can provide a minimum pressure of
about 7m to 15 m maximum from the highest to the lowest floor. This often proves
inadequate and requires local booster pumps to enable the equipment to operate
efficiently. At the same time storage at terrace level has dangers of contamination and a
high water temperature during summer and low in winter.
To overcome these shortcomings it is proposed to install a fully automatic pumping

system which will operate on demand of water .The system will be backed with the
emergency power system for the building and chances of stoppage of water supply are
minimal. The pumping systems are silent and will operate at speeds as per water demand
thus saving power consumption. The systems are self-operating and do not require any
operator and have proven to be reliable.

ABOUT HVAC SYSTEM
This report outlines the basis of design requirement and design consideration for the Air-
conditioning and Ventilation system.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• The system has been designed on the basis of receiving required quantity of chilled water
from the control A.C. plant.
• It is further designed to provide independent A.C. system for each lab.
• This would allow each lab to maintain its own design temperature and to operate for late
hours without wasting energy by running labs not in use.

Total 219 TR
Subsequently, a detailed study was carried out by TERI to arrive at the most effective solutions
for making the BSBE building energy efficient and environment friendly.
This included the following:
• Insulation of wall
• Insulation of roof
• Provision of suitable Heat reflecting glazing on window.
• Use of earth tunnel to precool outside air. This is possible because the temperature of
earth below 4 meter is much better then ambient and is nearly constant throughout the
year at 28°C.
PROPOSED ACTION
Based on the above studies, it was decided to adopt the following measures.
• Cavity walls with insulation were designed.
• Roof Insulation of 50 mm was provided as all exposed roof.
• All window were provided with double sealed glass of specific type
• It was decided to use earth tunnel to precool the outside air. This has the double
advantage of reducing the HVAC requirements, without adding Heat or moisture in the
atmosphere. Thus this is considered to be an environment friendly measure.
BENEFITS WITH INCORPORATING THE ABOVE PROPOSED
The above measures have resulted in many benefits besides reducing demands on energy.
• The requirement of air conditioning was reduced by 40% as compared to conventional
design.
• This resulted in small A.C. equipment and ducts and reduced operating cost.
• The provision of insulation and double glass has also helped in providing a cool
envelope around the building so that even without A.C. the labs will feel more
comfortable.
• The building will also remain warmer in winter as the cold weather will be prevented
from entry inside the building.
• The use of earth tunnel was found to be very useful as it cooled the hot summer air down
from 44°C to 30°C. It also warmed the outside air from 10°C to 20°C or more in winter.
• Thus throughout the year the air from the tunnel had a moderate temperature.
• The corridors which are not air conditioned will be thus be more habitable due to
circulation of the cooled air from the earth tunnel, both in summer and in winter.
• Similarly the air from tunnel has helped to reduce the A.C. requirement by removing the
heat from outside air.
SUMMARY
• The adoption of the above building methods and use of earth tunnel has resulted in
reducing the requirement of Air conditioning from approx. 220 TR to 120 TR.
• This will reduce the operating cost proportionately.
21
• The use of insulation and double-glazing resulted in the ambient environment within the
building more tolerable.
SYSTEM DESIGN
• Each laboratory has been provided with an independent air handling unit (AHU) so that
it can operate to its own timing and convenience.
• It will also prevent mixing of air from one lab with the other lab, to prevent mixing of
chemical or biological matter.
• A separate air handling unit will supply treated fresh air to a total of six labs on a floor.
The quantity of fresh air, can thus be varied to match the requirements, if additional fume
hood is provided in any lab.
• Another AHU will air-condition the Instrument Lab, Autoclave rooms and the corridors,
along with the atrium.
• There are separate AHU’s for the auditorium, reception etc on each floor.
• The classrooms and the library are provided chilled water lines which could be hooked to
AHU at a later date as per the requirement.
• The chilled water piping for labs runs in the basement and rises up the various vertical
shafts accessed from the corridors.
• All supply air is carried in insulated G.I. ducts. Return air for the instrumentation room
AHU is ducted.
• The return air for labs is taken directly to the unit from the labs.
• Provision made for general ventilation of the basement and exhaust of air from the
autoclaves out of the building at the terrace level.
• Fresh air for the lab is supplied from the earth air tunnel.
• The atrium, though not directly supplied with conditioned air is provided with air supply
from the earth air tunnel at the carious corridors, which by virtue of corridors being open,
filters through to the atrium.
• The building integrated Photo-Voltaic panels used over the atrium provide sufficient
shade to the space. Additionally there is provision of louvers and suitable exhaust fans
integrated with the skylight that helps dissipate heat to the outside at the terrace level.
COLD ROOMS
• Provision is made for pre-fabricated Cold Rooms on each floor.

• The prefab chamber will have factory made PUF panels for floor, walls and ceiling.
• Each unit will have an independent refrigeration system.
POWER REQUIREMENT
The power required to run the AC and Cold Room units is approximately 100 KW of 3 Ph, 50
Hz 230 V A.C. supply.

CLIMATE AND BUILDING DESIGN
Kanpur witnesses prolonged dry summers, followed by warm and humid spells of monsoon.
Winters are cold and dry. Hence it was important to reduce summer gains and maximize winter
gains. The optimum orientation for the climate of Kanpur is north-south exposure for the
building with minimal exposure on the east and west. The building was already under
construction with the design approved and finalized when TERI was involved to look into the
possible energy saving options for the building operation. The primary objective of the study
was to look into the options, which could reduce operating costs for the air conditioning and
lighting systems, and yet meet the desired/recommended thermal and visual comfort levels.
Within the given frame work, the following emerged as the possible building interventions
which were proposed to be studied for quantification of energy savings vis-à-vis costs
1. Insulation of the exterior walls/corridor walls of the building and exposed roof surface.
2. Efficient glazing for exposed glazed surfaces
3. Corridor ventilation by induced draft.
4. Appropriate shading of exposed walls
23
5. Efficient lighting design with integrated day lighting
6. Pre-cooling of fresh air input to AHUs by solar passive techniques.
7. Efficient HVAC system with controls
Further to the above, Building integrated Photovoltaic cells are proposed to be installed as an
atrium roof and cater to certain essential loads.
The building is located in the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology on a rectangular site
with longer edge oriented along North and South. The building has a N-S orientation matching
with the site profile with fenestration primarily facing north and south orientation. The existing
plantation on the Northern and Southern periphery of the site would shade the building.
The building is proposed to be partially air-conditioned. The air-conditioned areas in the
building are as follows:
1. 16 laboratory spaces with respective faculty rooms
2. 3 instrument rooms
3. Pre-fab cold Room
ENERGY EFFICIENCY STUDY FOR BSBE BUILDING
The following energy saving options were considered and their relative advantages and savings
potential vis-à-vis costs were studied to arrive at the final recommendations:
INSULATION
Insulation of external walls
Insulation of buildings is a well-known and well-practiced aspect used for energy conservation.
In hot climatic conditions it should be ensured that the thermal mass is weakly coupled with
external heat source (i.e. solar radiation) but strongly coupled with the interior in order to be able
to absorb internal gains easily. Hence the suitable location of an insulating layer in the given
climatic context is adjacent to the external face of a building. The design specifications for the
BSBE wall construction were studied. The architect had envisaged a layer of insulation in a
cavity wall construction. The option of putting a 9” thick wall with external insulation and
permanent finish was discussed. It was felt from workmanship and maintenance point of view it
would be desirable to put the insulation as sandwich between the 4.5” thick brick layers.
Analytical modeling and simulation technique was used to calculate the reduction in cooling
load and thereby energy consumption by using:
a) No insulation in the cavity wall with 4.5” brick wall on either side of cavity;
b) Using 2” expanded polystyrene of 1.5 lb/ft3 density in a cavity wall with 4.5” brick wall on
either side of insulation; and c) 2” thick rock wool which is a resin bonded fibrous insulation
of 3 lb/ft3 density with 4.5” brick wall on either side of insulation.
Insulation of roof
The horizontal roof is more vulnerable to solar ingress in comparison to the vertical surface.
Hence insulation of roof is an important element to reduce solar gains into a space. The BSBE
building has a horizontal spread with large exposed areas and overdeck insulation could play a
major role is reducing the cooling loads of the building. Effectiveness of the following overdeck
24
insulation materials were studied in context of reducing cooling loads for the BSBE building,
IIT Kanpur a) 2” Expanded polystyrene slabs over deck insulation with water proofing treatment
and finished using reflecting china mosaic flooring b) 2” thick rigid Polyurethane foam overdeck
insulation with water proofing treatment and finished using reflecting china mosaic flooring.
The top surface was considered to be light colored average reflectance of 70% in all cases. It
may be noted that underdeck roof insulation with 2" expanded polystyrene slabs was already
considered in the initial design.
ENERGY EFFICIENT GLAZING AND SHADING
Since windows and other glazed areas are most vulnerable to heat gains or losses, proper
location, sizing and specifications of windows and shading are an important part of passive solar
design. Windows designed in a proper way can keep sun and wind out when desired, but also
allow for ample day lighting (thus removing the need for conventional lighting system).
Natural light is also admitted into a building through glazed openings. Glazing systems and
shading devices are important components of a window that allow the desired heat gain and loss,
ventilation, and day lighting.
Glazing systems. Windows are poor thermal barriers. Research and development on energy-
efficient glazing systems has made it possible to allow solar lumination in through windows
without allowing heat gain by increasing the thermal characteristics of windows. As such,
advanced glazings with innovative coatings are available for energy conservation. A variety of
such glazing that are able to minimize unwanted solar gains in summer and heat losses in winter,
while maximizing useful day lighting are available.
Energy gains through a glazing as accounted for in cooling load calculation is a combination of
direct solar gains and conduction gains. Hence in order to reduce these gains in summer one has
to look into shading of windows and reduce the conduction gains too. However due to
architectural constraint use of fixed shading devices was not considered for cutting out solar
gains. Hence the appropriate glazing system was chosen based on its U-value and solar heat gain
coefficient/Shading coefficient. Also due consideration was given to light transmission through
the windows. The appropriate available glazing combination chosen in consultation with the
manufacturers/suppliers is as follows:
1. Double-glazed units for south façade with following configuration and properties:
6mm Solar Low e Clear #2 toughened with 12 mm Gap with Argon and 6 mm clear float
annealed glass with light transmission 55%, U value 0.32 BTU/sq.ft °F and solar efficient of
0.44.
2. Double-glazed units for north façade with following configuration and properties:
• 6mm energy advantage low e clear #2 toughened with 12 mm Gap with Argon and 6 mm
clear float annealed glass with light transmission 73%, U value 0.30 BTU/ft2 °F and solar
efficient of 0.61.
• The frame should be of aluminum and preferable with a thermal break.

• The simulation model studied the reduction in cooling loads and thereby energy
consumption by use of the efficient glazing system vis-à-vis single glazing system with 6
mm clear float glass.
25
ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING
While the above measures were primarily studied to reduce the cooling loads and to enhance day
lighting, the artificial lighting design was analyzed and reviewed with following objectives:
Provide the required illumination levels at 1.3 W/ft2
Identify the work areas and non-critical areas and design lighting scheme based on
illumination requirement for specific areas.
Provide illumination level of 400 lux for the laboratory worktops, 200 lux for corridors, and
300 lux in workplane for the faculty rooms. These levels were discussed and finalized in
consultation with IIT, Kanpur and the electrical consultants. The corridor lighting level has
been kept higher than recommended levels of 70–100 lux as it was felt that a person moving
in and out of laboratory would feel visual discomfort if the corridor lighting level is less than
50% of the lighting levels in the laboratory spaces.
Devise switching arrangements to enable day linking of lights.
Ensure uniform distribution and minimal glare.
The proposed lighting scheme is as follows:
2 nos. 1 × 36W/28W tube lighting Philips X-trend luminaire or equivalent for faculty room.
4 × 11 W down lighters in faculty room.
18 nos. 1 × 36W/28W fluorescent tube light for laboratory in Philips X-trend luminaire on
equivalent.
4 × 2 × 11 W surface mounted CFL fixture for laboratory.
The proposed 36W fluorescent tube lights should have lumen output of 3350 lumens. The
recommended lighting layout with circuit for the lamps is enclosed. The lighting levels with the
proposed luminaire and 36W high efficiency tube light is enclosed in Annexure 1. The lighting
power density with the proposed layout in laboratory is 0.975 W/ft2 with low loss choke, which
can be further reduced by use of electronic chokes with average illumination level being 473 lux.
An alternative lighting scheme using surface mounted mirror optic fixture (non-X Trend range)
is also enclosed. The average lighting level for this scheme is 378 lux. Lighting levels were
simulated for faculty room and are attached as Annexure 2. The average lighting level is 326 lux
and the power density is 1.02 W/ft2.
Once the lighting scheme was proposed so as to reduce the connected lighting load the next step
was to reduce lighting energy consumption by integration of appropriate controls. The
possibility of using day linked sensors and time switches were discussed. It was then felt use of
timers to switch off dedicated lights at pre-set timings based on daylight levels available in the
space would be a cost effective solution. Day lighting levels in a typical laboratory with artificial
lights switched off partially on June 21st 12.00 noon is attached in Annexure 3 for reference. It
shows that for the simulated day with partly cloudy sky , the first two rows of lights adjacent to
the window can be switched off at the time under consideration. Timer schedules could be
worked out jointly by IIT, Kanpur and TERI after the timers are in place.
It also needs mention that the daylight level calculations have been made with the visible
transmittance of proposed window glazing system. The circuit for connecting the lamps to
respective switches is attached in Annexure 4.
The reduced lighting loads also contributed to lowering of cooling loads.
26
INTEGRATION OF EARTH AIR TUNNEL SYSTEM TO PROVIDE FRESH AIR TO
AIR HANDLING UNITS
One of the unique measures which is proposed to be adopted in the building is use of
underground air pipe system for space conditioning. The system is based on the principle that
ground at a depth of about 4-m provides a stable environment. The stable ground temperature is
equal to the solar temperature of the surface of the earth. The stable temperatures at depths
greater than 3 m, along with the large storage capacity of the earth, provides a very attractive
source of heat/coolness, which can be used for several purposes. Space conditioning in buildings
by heating/cooling of air passing through underground pipes/tunnel in one of the several
applications.
The application of this novel concept to the BSBE building was explored and after a series of
analytical exercises and it was proposed that an underground tunnel based fresh air delivery
system to the Air handling Units for the building could be designed to reduce load on the
designed air conditioning system and save on energy consumption.
CALCULATION FOR FRESH AIR REQUIREMENT & SIZING OF EARTH AIR

TUNNEL
The sizing of the EAT system was based on fresh air input required for the AHUs and provision
of pre-cooled fresh air to the corridor. The tunnel system has been designed to provide 5000 cfm
of pre-cooled fresh air.
With the given occupancy of approximately 12 persons per laboratory and faculty room and as
per recommended standards for fresh air, the AHUs are designed to take 15 CFM of fresh
air/person. Hence the total fresh air required for the occupied areas with individual AHUs is
approximately 3500 CFM. The balance of 1500 CFM is proposed to be distributed in the
corridors. This was discussed with the HVAC designers for the project and agreed upon to be an
acceptable option. While TERI has designed and sized the system for air delivery of 5000 CFM
at the Fresh air room on ground floor, the HVAC designers have designed the distribution for
the same.
The calculated length of each tunnel is 70 m and the diameter is 70 cm and is recommended to
be laid at an average depth of 4m below the ground. 1 no. of 7 hp centrifugal fans would be
provided in the fan room.

BUILDING SIMULATION TO QUANTIFY REDUCTION IN COOLING LOADS BY

THE ABOVE MENTIONED OPTIONS
Building simulation is an important tool to quantify energy savings achievable by use of energy
efficiency measures in a building. It gives realistic estimates on reduction in loads and
consumption by use of the options some of which are as detailed above. Parametric analysis of
the above measures has been made to quantify the same. In the building simulation exercise the
building was defined as a composition of several zones. The zones were defined as mentioned in
the attached drawing (Annexure 6). The laboratory spaces on the ground, first and second floor
of the northwest corner was taken as separate zones to analyse the floor wise effect of the
measures. For the rest of the laboratory spaces it was assumed that a set two or three laboratories
located one on top of the other form a single block divided into floors by intermediate slabs e.g.
the block Bio2 has two floors. So it was defined to be a single block with two floors.
The following common assumption were made for all runs of the simulation:
1. Building profile and orientation as provided by architect.
2. Window sizes assumed to be fixed as designed by the architect with no provision for
external shading
3. Lighting power density 2.0 W/ft2 (as taken by the HVAC designer) in base building run,
1.3W/ ft2 in subsequent run 2,3, and 4 (as provide by electrical consultants), 1.0 W/ ft2 in the
final run 5 ( as designed by Teri).
4. Equipment load: 2W/ft2 for faculty room and5W/ft2 laboratory spaces and instrument room.
5. People load: 11 persons /laboratory and 1 person/faculty room.
6. Infiltration: nil
7. Fresh air: 15 cfm/person
8. Thermostat setting: proportional with throttling range of 4 °F and set point of 75°F.
SCHEDULE OF OPERATION FOR THE VARIABLE LOADS
Lighting: 100% on at all times and all days in a year

1. Equipment: 25% on between 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., 50% on for the rest of time on all days in a
year
2. Indoor thermostat set point for all conditioned spaces: 75°F, Relative Humidity set at 60%
3. Temperature of corridor: 95°F
4. Occupancy 55% between 10PM to 6 AM and 75% for rest of the time for all days in a year.
5. HVAC system operational round the year for 16 hours.

REDUCTION IN COOLING LOAD BY USING EAT SYSTEM FOR PRE-COOLING

OF FRESH AIR
The savings have been calculated with peak temperatures of underground air pipe outlet
temperature as 89.6 deg F (Dry bulb temperature) and 66.4 °F (Wet bulb temperature). The wet
bulb temperature is calculated based on that the moisture content of the outlet air is same as in
the inlet air.
N.B: Please note that the peak outlet temperature for the tunnel outlet is 32 oC in June for wet
shaded condition, which corresponds to 89.6 °F.
The savings in cooling load per AHU is calculated as follows:
Out door dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature at design condition:
110 °F (DBT) and 75 deg F (WBT). The moisture content is 74 gr./lb of air. The enthalpy
content is 38.154 BTU/lb.
Air at tunnel outlet dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature at design condition:
89.6 °F (DBT) and 69.2 °F (WBT). The moisture content is 74 gr./lb of air. The enthalpy content
is 33.150 BTU/lb.
TR saved/AHU ={4.5 x (enthalpy of ambient air in BTU/Lb. – enthalpy of cooled air at tunnel
outlet in Btu/Lb.) × air quantity in CFM}/12000
= 4.5 x 5.004 x 180/12000
32
= 0.34 TR
Total saving in cooling load by supply of 3372 cfm to the AHUs as simulated above is
6.33 TR. In addition cool air provided to corridor also.
Note: Air when ducted through EAT system would have sensible cooling, moisture content
remaining same.
ENERGY SAVINGS BY EFFICIENT LIGHTING SYSTEM
The savings in lighting load in the proposed design vis-à-vis the initial design is about
140W/laboratory/instrument room and 16W /faculty room. Considering a total of 19 lab spaces
including instrument room and 40 faculty rooms, the savings in connected load is 3.3 kW, the
savings being about 14% over base load. It may please be noted that the corridor lighting is not
altered from the base design of providing 200 lux.
The reduction in cooling loads has been summarised as in the given figure.

ANNUAL ENERGY SAVINGS
Assumptions
The cooling load of the base building as provided by the HVAC designers is 120TR.
The plant is expected to operate at 100% loading for 60% of operating hours.
The plant would operate for 16 hours per day for 245 days per year
The average load for the cooling system (including chillers, pumps, cooling towers etc.) is 1
kW/TR, assuming that centrifugal chillers are being used.
The annual energy savings has been calculated under the following heads:
Energy savings at plant level due to savings in change in cooling load.
Cost savings due to reduction in installed plant capacity.
33
Energy savings due to reduction in AHU motor sizes due to change in fan size.
Energy savings due to efficient lighting.
1. TR saved × kW/TR x % loading × hours of operation × no. of days in operation- energy

consumed by earth air tunnel fan = (99–72) x 1 x 0.6 x 16 x 245- 16x245x3 = ~51744 kWh
Note: The Earth air tunnel fan rated at 5.5 kW would take 3 kW (see attachment Annexure 9
for fan sizing). No fresh air fan for Air Handling Units in the original design has been
assumed.
2. Cost savings in installed plant capacity : 45 TR x Rs. 30,000/TR= Rs. 13,50,000
3. Assuming constant flow fan in AHUs, the reduction in fan operating power is 1hp/0.746kW
per AHU. Hence reduction in total fan operating power for 19 AHUs is 14.174 kW. Energy
savings for 24 hour and 245 days in a year is 14.174 x 16 x 245 = 55,562 kWh
4. Reuction in AHU cost due to reduction in size @Rs.25,000/Ahu (this figure has been quoted
verbally by the HVAC designers) Rs.25,000x16= Rs.4,75,000
5. Savings in lighting consumption assuming 60% of lights are on for 16 hours round the year
is x 365 x 0.6 x 16 = 11,565 kWh
Further savings is achievable by daylight integration
Assuming energy cost of Rs.3.23/kWh annual energy savings per year is Rs.3,84,000 and a
further savings of Rs.18,25,000 in installation of additional plant capacity and reduced AHU
size
The initial excess investment for the part of the building under study would be
approximately Rs. 22 lacs if Expanded polystyrene is used as roof insulation material and
Rs. 26 lacs, if polyurethane foam is used as roof insulation (Annexure 10).
It may be noted that the roof treatment in case the roof insulation is not used is assumed to
cost Rs.300/sq.m and deducted from the roof insulation cost, glazing cost if double glazing is
not used is assumed to be Rs.380/sq.m and is deducted from glazing cost.
Cost of frame not added.
No additional investment is taken on account of lighting fixture.
NOTE ON ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT
Since the quantification of energy savings has been made for a certain part of the building as
elaborated earlier, the excess initial investment has been calculated for the specific part of the
building. It may however be mentioned that equivalent savings may be extrapolated for other
areas subject to provision for similar systems and equipment as in areas under consideration.The

PV is one of the most matured, field proven and fastest growing among all non-conventional
energy technologies. The global PV power market in the past five years has grown annually at
an average rate of 30% with annual sales being 390 MWp in the year 2001. The costs have come
down from US$ 25 per Wp in the seventies to US$ 2-3 per Wp today. Some of the major energy
companies (and those in related businesses) such as British Petroleum, Kyocera, Siemens, Shell,
Sharp etc. are in this business. In India, more than 50 MWp worth of PV power is currently in
use. BHEL, BEL, Central Electronics Ltd, Tata BP Solar, Shell Renewables are some of the
market players. Among several applications of PV, Building Integrated PV (PV as a building
material) is one of the fastest growing market segments in the Europe. In India, the concept is
slowly becoming popular, pioneered by TERI and followed by a few other projects such as in
IIT Delhi1. It is an application that needs to be show-cased and demonstrated by the institutions
leading the scientific and technological research in the country for others to follow.
ABOUT BIPV TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS
THE TECHNOLOGY
Photovoltaic (PV) technology based on solar cells provides one of the most environmentally
friendly routes for generation of electricity. Solar cells are semiconductor devices that convert
sunlight into electricity directly without involving any moving parts. Wafers sawn from mono or
multi-crystalline ingots of high-grade silicon is the most commonly used semiconductor material
for making solar cells today. Thin-film solar cells, where a very thin layer of PV material is
deposited on a metal, glass or plastic films substrate, is regarded as the technology for the future.
Thin-film technology uses less PV material and is considered to be better suited for cost-
effective mass production processes.
Solar cells are connected together and laminated into a module to increase the power output and
to provide a protective packaging. Such a module becomes the basic building block of a PV
power system. Various modules are suitably interconnected in a series and parallel combination
to form a PV panel or an array. PV system generates DC electricity that needs to be conditioned
prior to its use. According to the specified load, DC-to-AC inverter, DC-to-DC converter, other
controlling and monitoring instruments are used. PV generated DC electricity needs to be stored
for its use in no-sunshine periods such as in the night. Batteries are most commonly used storage
36
systems. A complete PV power system has a PV array, an energy storage system, and necessary
electronic, electrical and mechanical sub-systems together called the Balance-of-Systems (BOS).
Some of the characteristic features making the use of PV advantageous are:
technology is universal: PV modules feature a linear response to solar radiation and therefore
may be mass produced and shipped world-wide
requires no fuel, only sunlight (both direct and diffuse sunlight)
environmentally clean, make no noise and emit no gaseous or liquid pollutants
modular, they can be expanded for the growing needs and can be dismantled for use in other
applications
robust, reliable and weatherproof, technically well proven to give a lifetime of over 20 years
quick to install, gestation time being small
minimal O & M, can be met by local trained people also
PV technology has its drawbacks also, the most crucial one being its high capital cost.
PV can be used both in decentralized and in grid-connected applications. It is suitable for rural
remote areas, as well as for specialized applications such as in railways. It is equally suitable for
urban domestic or commercial establishments.
PV IN BUILDINGS
Photovoltaic in buildings is worth considering if,

The building has access to solar radiation
Innovative design options are preferred
Building is or will be energy-efficient by design
Traditionally, PV arrays have been mounted on special support structures. However, they can
also be mounted on buildings, or even be made an integral part of the building envelope. From
an architectural, technical and financial point of view, PV in buildings:
does not require any extra land area for installation
may replace conventional building materials and thus serve the dual role which enhances pay
back considerations
can provide an improved aesthetic appearance in an innovative way
Once put in the building context, PV can be regarded as multifunctional building elements that
provide both shelter and power.
BIPV PRODUCTS
Standard modules with frames are widely used in existing buildings mainly for retrofitting
purposes. However these frames impede an easy and elegant integration and hence, for
integration applications, they can be omitted and instead laminates can be used. Laminates can
be mounted like glass panes using conventional glazing techniques. Another technique for PV
integration is using PV tiles or shingles that can be installed very quickly and easily. They have
the look and function of asphalt and composition shingles. Wire connections are made below the
roof decking.
Flexible panels are ideal for curved or flexible surfaces. Structural Standing Seam Metal Panel is
another product, which utilizes high-grade steel to combine the appeal of a structural roofing
37
product with electrical capabilities of PV. These panels are designed to be integrated into the
roof following the specifications of conventional structural standing seam panels.
A PV module is basically designed and manufactured for outdoor use. The modular geometry,
the colours and the texture of both cells and the glass of the PV panels constitute the main
aesthetic characteristics of the panels. With growing interest in PV facades, manufacturers are
now offering customized sizes and options to modify the modules’ appearance.
BIPV products can be transparent, semi transparent or opaque depending on the module
technology. For example, the color of mono-crystalline cell based modules varies from uniform
black to a dark gray with a uniform surface structure. In contrast, the structure of the module
using poly- or multi-crystalline cells show irregular gray-to-blue colored crystals. In both types,
the current gathering screen-printed silver grid lines are visible. The balance between the amount
and quality of glass and type of cells used in the module is a part of the design process, and will
decide the aesthetics and functionality of the module. For semi-transparent modules, the space
between the cells is enlarged to let light pass through. In other words, its fill factor (FF)- ratio
between cell area to total module area is low. For modules using thin -film technology, the
transparency is a factor of the penetration of light by the cells. Since the cells absorb a part of the
spectrum, the color of the passed light is changed. These modules are uniformly dark brown in
color.
BENEFITS OF BIPV AS ATRIUM ROOF
As stated earlier, the BIPV as atrium roof will serve the dual purpose of ‘being a roof’ and ‘an
electricity generator’. It will completely replace the conventional glass roof while allowing
natural light to filter through. BIPV as roof will meet structural and weather condition
requirements such as - provide structural stability and durability, protection against chemical and
mechanical damage, provide fire prevention, protection against rain, sun, wind and moisture,
allow heat adsorption and heat storage, control diffusion of light, etc. In addition, as electricity
generator, it will meet part of the electrical load of the building. Typically, the BIPV modules
based on crystalline technology for atrium are available as- (a) single glass element in which
solar cells are laminated on a single glass with transparent encapsulation that allows light to pass
through spaces between cells, (b) double glass element wherein solar cells are sandwiched
between two glasses with transparent encapsulation; this configuration reduces heat losses from
indoor building space, and, (c) double glazing element in which a third glass is fixed at the
bottom of the double glass element with vacuum in between the second and the third glass to
reduce heat losses. Heat strengthened glass is used for lamination purposes in all of the above
modules.
ESTIMATED LOAD AND PRLIMINARY SYSTEM SIZING
The preliminary system design for pre-sizing the BIPV has been done with an assumption that it
will meet a part of the lighting load. This is in view of the following considerations:
• The efficiency of conversion of sunlight into electricity by PV technology is in the range
of 15-16%. Hence it will require large area of PV to get the required electrical energy
(about 1.6 m2 to generate 150-Watts peak)
• DC electrical energy generated by PV modules has to be necessarily stored in batteries in
order to use it when required, unless it is fed directly into the grid after conditioning
38
• The building will have access to uninterrupted electricity supply through grid and diesel
back-up. BIPV atrium is primarily designed to serve the purpose of ‘Demonstration of
concept’. In order to maximize the impact of demonstration, it is advisable to have
exclusive load points connected to PV system.
Having stated the above, the preliminary design followed the given schematic:

According to its scope of work, TERI has been involved till step 4.
SCREENING OF SITE, APPLICATION AND BUILDING
According to the design of the building, maximum atrium opening available is 12 m in north-
south and 6.7 m in east-west. It can accommodate about 6-7 kWp of installed BIPV. Ideally, the
entire opening should be used by the BIPV in order to maximize the production of electrical
energy. Alternately, only a portion of it can be used either by covering the remaining opening by
non-BIPV glass or by shortening the atrium opening itself. The aesthetics of the atrium roof and
the day light requirement underneath will help in selecting either of the two options.
There are many options available for using electrical energy generated by BIPV. It can be fed
into the grid directly, or can be used as a reliable back up for computers and other equipment. It
can also be used for lighting in a specific area. Grid connected PV systems are ideal for peak-
shaving applications where the peak electrical demand matches with the peak sunshine hours.
They provide cost-effective solutions for buildings with heavy air-conditioning loads. However,
the size of the BIPV should be big enough for these applications. BIPV as reliable back-up for
computers is also a good application though it may not have any added value in the building
electrical system which is designed to provide uninterrupted power supply for all the loads in the
building. As stated earlier, lighting, being a low power application, seems to be ideal for the
small size of PV system. Selected light points confined to any region in the building can be
powered by PV electricity.
LOAD ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT
Lighting arrangement in the building varies depending on the place and duration of use. For
BIPV applications, corridor lighting is found to be ideal, as these are not expected to be on for
24 hrs a day, unlike those in the laboratories and at workstations. Further, alternate light points
can be powered by BIPV thereby reducing the load. For the current application, lighting in the
corridor of one of the floors can be chosen. There are 50 light points in each corridor located at a
distance of 4 meters from each other. Each light point is fixed with two numbers of 9 watts CFL.
For the current application, both the CFL lamps in each light point can be energized for up to 10
hrs a day on PV electricity. The total connected load would be approximately 1 kW. Daily
energy requirement would be of the order of 10 kWh.
39
PRE-SIZING OF THE SYSTEM
Pre-sizing of the system to meet the above load has been based on the following design
considerations:
BIPV generated DC electricity is first stored into the battery bank, converted into 230 volts
AC single phase using an inverter and then used to meet bulk of the connected load
requirement
System is combined with AC mains (PV-AC mains hybrid) through auto changeover switch
such that a part of the daily energy requirement is met by the AC mains thereby reducing the
required size of the battery bank as well as that of PV array
Battery bank storage for one full day operation and one day autonomy is provided in case of
no sun for one full day
For the above connected load of 1 kW and daily energy requirement of 10 kWh, a 3 kWp PV
array with a 5 kVA inverter would suffice. The energy generation from 3 kWp BIPV is
estimated using the following factors and assumptions:
Maximum depth of discharge (MDOD) for the battery - 0.8
Annual average sunshine/day- 5 EHFS (equivalent hours of full sunshine)
Inverter efficiency- 0.9
Battery energy efficiency- 0.85
Field induced derating factor for modules- 0.95
System voltage and load operating voltage- 48VDC
The 3 kWp BIPV array can be made up of 20 modules of 150 Wp rated capacity each, or 40
modules of 75 Wp. Each 150 Wp module requires an area of 1.56 m2 and weighs about 32 kg.
The total area required by BIPV would thus be 31.2 m2.
The 150 Wp module gives a nominal voltage of 24 VDC and a charging current of 4.18 Amps.
The nominal power from each module is 100.32 Wp2. To get a system voltage of 48 VDC using
150 Wp modules, 2 each would be connected in series to make a string; 10 of such strings would
be connected in parallel to get the system current of about 41.8 Amps. The gross energy
generated daily from the BIPV array (of 3 kWp using 20 modules of 150 Wp each in series-
parallel combination described above), at an average EHFS of 5 hrs, would be about 10.03 kWh
(209Ah @ 48VDC) The net daily AC energy after incorporating battery and inverter efficiencies
and derating factors would be 7.3 kWh.
The attached table #1 gives a profile of energy generated from a 3 kWp array in Kanpur at a tilt
of 25-28 degree south. As can be seen from the table, the minimum AC energy output is 7.41
kWh in the month of August and the maximum output is 10.43 kWh in the month of April.
Thus, the BIPV array would be able to meet 75% of the daily energy requirement even in the
worst sun-month. The AC mains would meet the shortfall of 25%.
The battery capacity is estimated taking into consideration 80% MDOD, inverter efficiency of
0.9, battery energy efficiency of 0.85 and one full day extra energy or autonomy. To meet the
daily energy of 10 kWh or 208 Ah, battery capacity should at least be 680-700 Ah. The battery
bank voltage should be 48VDC.
40
To summarize the results of pre-sizing of BIPV, a 3 kWp PV array with 5kVA inverter and 48
V, 700 Ah battery capacity, in hybrid mode with AC mains would be required. Schematic
diagram of the system is provided in exhibit #1.
SELECTION OF COMPONENTS
Essentially, the system will have following main components:

BIPV array with mounting structure
Battery bank
Charge controller
Inverter
BIPV MODULE
The heart of the PV system is the BIPV module. Though BIPV products are available in
crystalline as well as thin-film technology, single-crystal silicon solar cells are still the
workhorse of the industry. A double glass element using either single or multi-crystalline solar
cells depending on the aesthetics and the shading requirements can be chosen. Though 75 Wp
module is a standard product available widely, 150 Wp module has a cost advantage in terms of
Rs/Wp as well as in terms of mounting frame requirement.
MOUNTING STRUCTURE
The mounting structure for BIPV is an extremely important component as it not only supports
the weight of the structure, (about 650-kg), it also provides protection from water, moisture, dust
ingress. The state-of-the-art mounting structures are made of wicon, and are thermally insulated
to prevent heat transmission from outside to inside of the building.
BATTERY BANK
Most commonly used batteries for PV applications are lead-acid low maintenance batteries with
tubular positive plate and pasted, flat negative plate. These batteries have low self-discharge and
high charge efficiency.
CHARGE CONTROLLER
The main function of the charge controller is to regulate the energy inflow and outflow from the
battery. It prevents the excessive discharge and overcharge of the batteries. While ensuring that
the voltage rating of the charge controller match with that of the system voltage, its current
rating should be more than the maximum array current, which in this case is 41.8 Amps.
INVERTER
Inverter converts the DC power from the battery into AC power that is used for the lighting load.
In order to achieve the high efficiency of inversion, inverter with pure sine wave output voltage
waveform, good voltage regulation, minimum harmonic distortion is chosen. It should be able to
take the power at 48 VDC and invert it to 230 VAC at 50 Hz.
41
ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION
The total area required for the BIPV is approximately 31.2 m2, consisting of 20 modules of
dimensions (1781 × 865 × 10) mm. About 40mm spacing is provided between the two modules.
This spacing can be increased or decreased depending on the shading requirements. The total
atrium-opening requirement would approximately be (9.2 × 3.7) m. The atrium roof should
necessary be south facing with a tilt of about 25-28 degree south in order to maximize the solar
gain through the year. The BIPV would be supported on the MS frame structure that would be
the load-bearing member of the entire BIPV laminates and structures. The final selection of the
module with the type and shape of solar cells -single crystalline or multi-crystalline, round or
pseudo square- as well as the spacing between the solar cells will be decided on the basis of the
shading and aesthetic considerations.
In order to house the battery bank and the power-conditioning unit (PCU), a well-ventilated
room of approximately (5 × 3) m size would be needed preferably near the BIPV. The room
would have single phase AC mains supply for PCU for hybrid operations. Cable conduits would
be laid from the BIPV to the PCU.
COST ESTIMATES
The cost of the entire BIPV system inclusive of BIPV laminates and their mounting structure,
battery bank with rack and accessories, charge controller, inverter, change over switch, AC
distribution board, junction boxes and cabling was approximately be Rs. 14,00,000.00 (Rupees
fourteen lakhs only). In order to promote new and clean technologies for the future, The ministry
of Non-conventional Energy Sources provides subsidies of up to 50% of the total cost of the
system. Based on this, IIT K applied for necessary subsidies.

Aluminium Jindal Of Forming Aluminium. The Aluminium Logs, After
Indal Casting To The Specified Alloy, Are Fed Into Continuous
Log Homogenizing Furnace Wherein, They Are Heated To
A Desired Temperature. The Logs Are Then Fed Into Hot
Shear Where The Logs Are Sheared To Billets Of Required
Size. The Billets Are Pushed Under Tremendous Pressure
Applied By A Hydraulic Ram, Through A Shaped Aperture
In A Steel Die. The Die Aperture May Have Almost Any
Imaginable Contour; Thereby Making It Possible To Produce
Infinite Shapes And The Cross Sections Can Then Be Sawed
To The Required Length. It Is Possible To Control The
Finish Of The Extruded Sections To Such A Degree, During
Its Passage Through The Steel Die That No Further
Finishing May Be Necessary, And If, Required, The Profiles
May Be Anodized/Powder Coated Straight Away In To
Attractive Colours For Higher Consumer Appeal.

PROJECT PERFORMANCE :
As explained earlier the project has set precedence in utilization of MPLAD Funds by creating
facility of national importance which will contribute to the growth of the nation as an intellectual
power. Being a unique experiment, the first of its kind in the country, it was taken up as a
challenge by all concerned to ensure success in meeting the holistic objective. As in all mega
utility projects, the construction of infrastructure is the most important, complex and time
consuming activity. Resource planning in a highly uncertain market of man power & material,
highly complex legal & contractual frame work, complex funding process in a govt. project,
multiple agencies controlling the project and constant evolution of the concept even at the
advance stage of construction etc. are some of the challenges that the construction project
management has to deal with.
The foundation stone for the building was laid on 31.03.02 and the construction commenced
forthwith. However the progress of work had to be rescheduled several times due to introduction
of Energy Efficient Design measures, changes in the internal space utilization scheme by the
user and the constant modifications in air-conditioning as well as power supply networks during
the course of execution.
Thanks to the team work and nearly perfect coordination between the user, consultant and his
team of sub-consultants, TERI, Institute Administration, Monitoring Committee and Institute
Works Department, the project was completed in all respects dot on 31.09.03 as stipulated in the
contract. In fact the construction management of this building is a text book case in which every
activity was kept under control due to close monitoring on date-to-day basis.
The sacrosanct principles of construction, namely cost, quality and efficiency have been
achieved close to perfection.
