InHabit is proud to announce that Aurbis Outer Ring Road (ORR), has been certified to be Bengaluru’s Benchmark in Intelligent Green Workspaces and only the second EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certified green building in Bengaluru.
- 23% energy savings through integrated efficiency strategies
- 64% water savings via advanced conservation systems
- 24% reduction in embodied energy across core building materials
- Clean air management system for real-time indoor air quality monitoring
- Visitor management systems and a dedicated workplace app
- State-of-the-art IT integration for conferencing, training, and collaboration
Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) is an innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE makes it faster, easier and more affordable than ever before to build and brand green. EDGE reveals the systems and solutions that work best for local climate, bringing international caché to the certified project without losing the local context.
The building’s energy performance is driven by a suite of high-impact measures, including:
- High-performance HVAC systems with air-cooled screw chillers
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in AHUs and Variable Speed Drives in pumps
- Cool roof coatings, reflective tiles, and underdeck insulation
- External wall insulation and Low-E coated glazing for thermal comfort
- Reduced window-to-wall ratio and external shading devices to minimize heat gain
- Energy-saving lighting across internal and external spaces
- Smart energy meters and consumption-based monitoring for electrical systems
Together, these interventions have enabled over 23% energy savings compared to conventional office buildings—reinforcing Aurbis ORR’s commitment to operational sustainability and occupant well-being.
Through strategic implementation of wastewater reuse systems, rainwater harvesting, and ultra-low-flow toilet fixtures, the building has achieved an industry-leading 64% reduction in potable water use. This milestone reflects a deep commitment to resource efficiency and sustainable water management.
🚿 Smart Fixtures & Advanced Water Systems
The building incorporates a comprehensive suite of water-saving technologies, including:
- Low-flow faucets in all bathrooms
- High-efficiency flush systems for water closets
- Water-efficient urinals across all restrooms
- Optimized kitchen sink faucets
- A robust rainwater harvesting infrastructure
- Black water treatment and recycling systems
Together, these measures not only minimize water demand but also support long-term operational sustainability and compliance with green building standards.
Significant reductions in embodied energy have been achieved across key building components—including floor slabs, roof assemblies, external and internal wall systems, flooring finishes, window framing, and roof insulation. These enhancements reflect a strategic commitment to low-impact material selection and energy-conscious design, aligning with broader sustainability goals and compliance benchmarks.
