Sports Facility at IIT Bombay, Mumbai: Sustainable Site Planning

The sports facility at IIT Bombay campus in Mumbai has a total built up area of 6929.45 square meters, with 3492.22 square meters being air-conditioned. The facility achieved a 64% reduction in energy consumption compared to benchmarks and has a Energy Performance Index of 50.30 KWh/m2/year. Sustainable strategies like preserving existing trees, using low-flow fixtures to reduce water consumption by 65%, and installing a 25KW solar PV system helped the facility obtain a 4-star GRIHA rating upon completion in 2016.

Sports Facility at IIT Bombay, Mumbai

Location : IITB Powai-Mumbai


Site Area : 2585 m2
Built up Area : 6929.45 m2
Air-conditioned Area : 3492.22 m2
Non Air- conditioned Area : 2796.66 m2
Energy Consumption Reduction : 64% reduction in energy consumption compared to GRIHA
benchmark
EPI : 50.30 KWh/m2/year
Renewable Energy : Rated capacity of solar PV installed on site is 25 KW
GRIHA provisional rating : 4 Stars
Year of completion : 2016
The following strategies were adopted to reduce the building impact on the natural environment:
ÞÞ Sustainable Site Planning:
• Existing trees were preserved and transplanted
• Excavation and construction started after the monsoon season to prevent soil erosion and soil run off from
the site
• Aggregate utility/service corridors are planned to cause minimum damage to the site and natural topography.
All utility corridors run parallel to the transportation corridors.
ÞÞ Reducing water consumption:
• Reduction in building water consumption by use of low-flow fixtures : 65%
• Reduction in irrigation water consumption by using less of lawn & more of trees/Shurbs: 44.24%.
ÞÞ Reducing energy consumption (compared to GRIHA benchmarks) while maintaining occupant
comfort:
• For achieving visual comfort:
»» Energy efficient artificial lighting design is compliant with ECBC recommendations
»» External shading and efficient glazing to reduce solar heat gain and have glare-free daylight have been
installed.
• For achieving thermal comfort:
»» Efficient SGU and AAC block walls to reduce solar heat gain
»» Facade placed at an angle to cut direct sun rays and glare inside the building
»» Building envelope is ECBC compliant, which helps reduce cooling loads in AC spaces and meets thermal
comfort levels in non AC spaces
ÞÞ Renewable energy technologies installed on site:
Rooftop Solar PV systems of 1MW installed for catering the entire academic campus; Out of which 25kW is
dedicated/apportioned for this project.
ÞÞ Use of low energy materials:
The project has used AAC blocks in place of burnt clay bricks, project has reduced embodied energy of non-structural
material by 56%.
