Radisson Blu
LEED V4.1 Existing Building Platinum Rating
The development achieves significant amount of potable water savings compared to NBC standards by installing water efficient plumbing fixtures.
Large quantities of water are saved in irrigation by using the treated wastewater and stored rainwater to meet 100% of the irrigation demand.
100% wastewater is treated to tertiary standards and will be used for landscaping & flushing purposes.
- The surplus treated wastewater will undergo additional ultrafiltration for utilization in the cooling tower.
The site is a zero-discharge site with 100% of rainwater is stored and reused with the excess being recharged.
Highly efficient drip and sprinkler irrigation systems are installed to further minimise non-potable water use.
Domestic Water quality is regularly tested to ensure all BIS norms are met.
All major sources of water consumption will be sub metered and monitored on a regular basis to identify any wastage.
- Despite being a lodging facility, this building contributes to the reduction of freshwater demand by exclusively using recycled ETP water for laundry purposes.
- This building operates as a fully net-zero energy structure, generating surplus energy through its off-site power plant.
- The surplus solar energy generated offsite is utilized for wheeling and banking purposes, thereby contributing towards the emission reduction.
- Energy meters have been installed in all major energy consuming areas including process loads and building loads.
- This building mainly depends on renewable energy sources like solar power, biogas and DG, with grid-purchased electricity playing a minor role.
- The entire building, and other ancillary facilities are completely conditioned and provided with sufficient fresh air ventilation.
- An ASHRAE level 3 energy audit was conducted to identify all areas of energy usage and every energy efficiency measure recommended is actioned phase wise.
- All lighting used are high LPD LEDs with star certified fixtures.
- All procurements are done through a local grocery store which in turn procures the raw material from the local Farmers markets.
- The project already has sustainable purchasing practices in place. These have now been formalised through the purchasing policy which has been created using the LEED V4.1 framework.
