Glass Exteriors, a Sector of Energy Efficiency in “Yamuna”

Yamuna, the new corporate office of leading global water management solution company Kirloskar Brothers Ltd at Pune, India, stands tall and proud, having just received the prestigious LEED Platinum rating.

Yamuna is spread over 3 acres of land and has a capacity of 500 employees.

The gamut of energy-efficient features Yamuna is endowed with help it save up to 50% energy and 30% water through the use of solar power, glass panels, eco-friendly cooling systems, CFL fixtures and rainwater harvesting, among several others.

1. Highlighted glass exteriors have given Yamuna a breathtaking outward appearance that befits a modern corporate building.
2. A glass atrium and landscaped terrace with green indoor plantations provide a work-friendly environment and also serve as a place for relaxation.
3. A large number of glass panels are fitted along the walls, which allow natural light inside the building, thereby saving on electricity.
4. Energy efficient CFLs are used for lighting.
5. The use of ergonomic furniture ensures complete comfort for employees.
6. A well-stocked café that serves hygienic and nutritious food is another feature of Yamuna.
7. A clinic is present within the facility for emergency medical requirements.
8. Sophisticated fire-fighting equipment is installed within the premises.
9. Other amenities like an auditorium, library, a well equipped gymnasium, badminton court, swimming pool and an amphitheatre allow for employee recreation and networking.
10. Yamuna uses water-cooled VRV air conditioning systems with sensors for monitoring CO2 levels and optimizing intake of fresh air. The structure has photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, which meet 2.6% of power requirements.
11. Other energy efficient gadgets in Yamuna include green LCD monitors.
12. A substantial amount of water requirements are fulfilled by rainwater harvesting.
13. The entire campus is a ‘no smoking’ area.

First Glass Skyscraper with Built-In Wind Turbines – “Strata Towers”

Yet another skyscraper surfaces on London’s skyline - “Strata SE1” at Elephant and Castle. Strata SE1 is a 43-story Tower with a height of 147 metres (485 ft) and a five-story Pavilion which features 408 high-quality apartments along with space for shops and restaurants.

Strata Towers is the first building in the world to incorporate wind turbines directly into its structure, and is also tallest residential building in central London. It is also dubbed “Razor”, since its structure resembles the shape of electric shaving razor. This architectural landmark is designed by BFLS, formally known as Hamiltons.

The Strata Towers is glazed entirely with high performance Low-E architectural glass. Large glass surfaces of the building raise internal building temperatures and promote the “heat island” effect in cities. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each apartment give a breathtaking view of the surroundings and operable windows provide natural daylight to the residents.

Energy efficiency measures at the building include using a natural, “whole house” ventilation system (with heat recovery) instead of air-conditioning – a feasible approach given the island nation’s mild climate, which ranges from about 0ºC (32°Fahrenheit) in winter to a balmy 32ºC (89.6° Fahrenheit) in summer. Sustainable features also include heating systems, low energy lighting and 96 percent recycling of construction waste.

Wind Turbines

The tower avails full advantage of the area’s 35mph of south-west wind speed. Wind turbines use five 30 ft. diameter and 19 kW blades instead of three as in conventional turbines, to minimize noise. Each blade configures to 9 m length and 30 ft. diameter. Four anti-vibration dampeners help alleviate vibrations to the building.

Three building-integrated wind turbines in this building generate 8% of the total electricity needs of the building, roughly enough to run the electrical and mechanical services (including three express lifts and automated window-cleaning rigs) as well as the lighting, heating and ventilation of its public spaces, which include an underground car and bicycle park.

The turbines are designed to rely on the Venturi effect (the Bernoulli principle as applied to fluid dynamics), which increases wind velocities as a result of a building’s height, shape and adjacent terrain to generate approximately 50MWh of electricity annually.
