House number H-1456, named 'Green One'
is located in South Delhi's Chittaranjan Park (CR Park), less than 100
metres from the local police station.
The
house is the result of the dream of constructing an
environment-friendly house at a time when 90 % of Delhi is
uninhabitable and is getting shorn of its green cover
Proshanto Roy, the owner of the house, said.
It is the ITC Green
Building in Gurgaon that influenced me. So I pulled down my house in
C.R. Park and re-built it using environment-friendly and recycled
material
It cost a little less than Rs 4 crore, he said, and is built with an overall fenestration design to reduce heat gain.
The staggering and stacking provides shade and also maximises the effect of diffused lighting.
The
interiors have been built with recycled building materials like fly-ash
bricks, while autoclaved aerated concrete (ACC) bricks have been used
for the walls.
Approximately, 54.72 % of the
total living area falls under the day-lit zone. Furthermore, glass with
low solar heat gain co-efficient (SHGC) has been used to ensure the
same.
Artificial lights with low power density (LPD) have been used throughout.
