INTRODUCTION
The Infosys Mysore campus has been
awarded the LEED EBOM (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design -
Existing Building Operation &
Maintenance) Platinum certification by
the United States Green Building
Council (USGBC). Infosys now has
18.25 million square feet of the highest
rated green buildings – of which 16.9
million square feet are LEED Platinum
rated and 1.35 million square feet are
GRIHA 5-star rated buildings.

CONSTRUCTION ASPECTS
Material and technique

RADIANT COOLING
TECHNIQUE
75% more efficient than

standard air-conditioning
system.
Requires 80% less air
compared to conventional
system.
Higher thermal comfort on
account of better mean radiant
temperature.
2.6 million sqft area
covered with white roof
.
About 5%
reduction in HVAC
energy Reduces building
heat gain and urban heat
island effect.
Smart energy metering and benchmarking
All buildings use smart energy meters and Sub

Metering.
Smart meters communicate on internet and
send out data continuously Capability to
communicate allows them to be compared on
common platform.
Collected data from buildings in a city can be
used to benchmark building’s EPI against
standards. E.g., Office building EPI in Delhi not
to exceed 100 kWh/m2/year.
Sub-metering to monitor consumption of sub-
systems E.g., Air-conditioning systems, lighting,
computers, etc.
SERVICES
Water Positive
strategies
100% Water sequestration
Zero Discharge campus
Low flow fixtures
Gravity based systems
100% recycling
Flushing
Air conditioning
Gardening
Goal : 50% reduction in per capita water
consumption
Low flow fixtures
Dual flush system
Waterless urinals
Flow restrictors and aerators
Pressure reducing valves at building entry
Replacement of lawns with low water consuming
native plantation
Root zone irrigation
Per capita freshwater requirement for
commercial buildings not to exceed 15 litres per day
100% of the water to be
recycled and reused
Practice zero liquid discharge policy.

100% of wastewater is recycled through
in campus steps with
ultrafiltration/membrane bio-reactor (MBR)
treatments.
Recycled water is used for irrigation,
flushing and air- conditioning systems.
All buildings have dual piping systems
for fresh water and recycled water.

Zero discharge campus
for rainwater
Roof top water is collected Artificial rainwater

locally and sent to water treatment harvesting pond
plants or sequestered in the ground
via borewells.
Groundwater is collected in
ponds. Ground water recharge
Goal is to sequester more
freshwater than we consume Roof
top rainwater harvesting Ground Rooftop rainwater harvesting structure in
water recharge Artificial rainwater Mysore: Water available through out the year
harvesting pond. for drinking and cooking purposes
WASTE MANAGEMANT
Aim towards Zero Waste to Landfills
Organic waste : All organic waste
generated, to be treated on campus (No
organic waste to go out of campus)
Inorganic waste : All non-hazardous
Infosys sets an example again and this time it dry waste to be handled by authorized
is food waste management recyclers to ensure zero disposal to
landfills
Hazardous waste: All hazardous waste
to be handled by authorized vendors only.
Biogas Plant for food waste PET to
Polyester CFL Crusher 1 ton food waste
produces INR 6400 worth LPG 8 PET
bottles produce 1 t-shirt Separates
