building.
GREEN BUILDING CONCEPT
Green buildings ensure waste is Whole-system approach to the design
minimized during the construction that conserve and build energy,
resulting in low costs. water, and material resources.

Green Building measures to prevent

erosion of soil, rainwater Green building practices to prevent
harvesting, use of solar energy, health problems arising due to poor
preparation of landscapes to reduce indoor air quality and toxins

use of world-class energy-efficient
practices.
MATERIALS
• Renewable sources: Forests

• Reuse from waste old plumbing, doors, etc.

• Solar Tiles: Exist to simply protect a

building.

• Paper Insulation: Made from recycled

newspapers and cardboard then filled with
chemical foam. Insect-resistant & fire
retardant.

• Wool brick Obtained by adding wool and a

natural polymer found in seaweed to the clay
of the brick, 37% more strength than burnt
bricks. Resistant for cold and wet climate.

• Sustainable Concrete: Crushed glass, Wood

chips or slag
a byproduct of steel manufacturing. Reduces
CO2emission.

The building is designed around two beautifully

landscaped courtyards with water bodies, plants and
sculptures as visual nodes, which enhance and
bind the space.

The basic design concept is that of simple straight line, Maximization of landscape areas and a substantial
low-key architecture in context with the surroundings, reduction in heat island effect has been ensured by
site and climate. incorporating peripheral vehicular movement, locating the
entry - exit ramps in closest proximity to the site's
frontage and keeping 100% parking in the basement of the
development. More than 50% of the ground area has been
kept green to increase the porosity of the site.

The building depth has been optimized to capture daylight

for more than 75% of the occupied interiors and in order
to maximize the outdoor views.
The building's facade opens out for greater
transparency towards the courtyard. The
elevation of the edifice has been inspired
by a typical Indian haveli 'Jharokha'.

PASSIVE COOLING AND
NATURAL VENTILATION
 PASSIVE COOLING is a building
design approach that focus on heat gain
control and heat dissipation in a building.
 Improve the indoor thermal comfort with low or
no energy consumption.

 NATURAL VENTILATION is the process

of pulling fresh air into a building
from the outside.
 The fresh air helps force the warm,
dirty air inside of building out through
the opening in the roof.
 Done without mechanical assistance.
Day light
Day lighting describes the controlled use of
natural light in and around buildings.
 It is the practice of placing windows or
reflective surfaces so that natural light
provides effective internal illumination Patni's buildings depth is designed in such
during the day. a way that it captures daylight for 75% of
the occupied interiors.
 It requires design considerations at all
stages of the building design process, from
site planning to architectural, interior and
lighting design.
Natural daylight enters internal spaces
largely through
window openings providing visual connection
between interior and exterior environments,
and brighten the internal spaces

The surface reflectance of the surroundings

influences the total amount of reflected
light reaching the building façade.
Green bilding is not
about buildings
– it is about people.
