Specifications: Solar Heat Gain coefficient (SHGC) or often called Solar Heat Gain Factor (SHGF), the percentage of solar heat gain transmitted
through the fenestration product as a whole. SHGC is function of the Shading Coefficient (SC) multiply by a constant factor (1.19). The SHGC values
can range from around 0.2 to 0.8 or less depending on coatings, tinting, frame area relative to glass areas, and other factors. The lowest SHGF values
are typically found in windows with Low-E coatings formulated to reduce solar gains .
a. Ensure that glazing shall be always double-glazing with Low-E coatings on the interior of outside pane (Fig.2).
b. Allow thermal break to eliminate thermal bridges in glazing above 40% aluminum sections.
c. Make sure that Northern facades of buildings shall be designed for passive solar cooling and have glazing with medium SHGC of 0.37 to allow for
maximum VL of 0.80 and beneficial for solar heat gain in winter months.
d. Apply SHGC of 0.30 in case the glazed facades of the building are tilted 15 to 45 from the north direction (north-east, north-west).
e. Ensure that East and West facades receiving plenty of undesirable sun have SHGC of 0.30.

Specifications:
a. Minimize the height of the window on the South side (strip windows work well), and shade the window from direct sunlight. When the sun is high in
the South sky, a canopy or a tree makes an excellent sunshade.
b. Minimize windows on East-West, especially west-facing windows; due to the sun is low in the morning and evening and perpendicular on theses
facades, creating a lot of glare and excessive solar heat gain.
c. Ensure that the optimum directional orientation is given. This depends on the site specific factors and local landscape features such as trees, hills, or
other buildings that may shade the space during certain times of the day.

It is a cooling system to cool air using chilled water. It is generated steam (evaporation) from heated water by the sun. There are two drivers in the
cooling process: one is the water (utilized as the refrigerant that is the working medium that experiences a phase change that causes the cooling affect);
and second is salt (lithium bromide) where heat is used to separate the two fluids.

4.1 Water Consumption
Reducing water consumption in buildings is primarily achieved by avoiding the need to use water in the first instance, followed by improvements to
efficiency of use. This requires a review of activities such as cleaning, irrigation, washing, flushing wastes and drinking to identify where use reductions
can be made. Opportunities for this may involve:
Avoiding indoor and outdoor planting with high irrigation needs; Avoiding water features that have little indispensable amenity value;
Incorporation of low water use appliances and fixtures.
Methods for achieving reductions in water consumption are further outlined below.
4.1.1 Construction Water Conservation
Design for reduced use of potable water in construction period can be achieved through ensuring that minimum potable water use is embodied into
materials selection. Identify site construction activities where potable water may be utilised, reduce the need for these activities or specify alternative
grey water sources where possible e.g. for washing or damping down.

4.2 Water Reclamation
Wastewater generated from sources such as grey water, sewage (also commonly referred to as black water) and air conditioning condensate can be
used in a variety of ways: for fire protection, in outdoor water features, street cleaning, or for industrial purposes such as cooling water, boiler-feeder
water, or process water.
4.2.1 Grey Water Systems
Grey water is waste water produced from indoor uses such as laundries, showers, and bathroom sinks, and will require some treatment before use.
Grey water from kitchen and food preparation areas should be separated from other sources of grey water, due to intrinsic difficulties in removing oils
and fats. Many public and commercial facilities generate relatively small amounts of grey water; other types of commercial and industrial facilities may
generate large quantities. For example, a vehicle cleaning areas and facilities that use large quantities of water to wash trucks can realize considerable
savings by recycling wash water. Therefore, volume should be considered in deciding whether it is cost-effective to treat grey water and sewage
separately. Usually, irrigation with grey water is required to be subsurface. Factors affecting the mode of grey water irrigation systems include soil depth
and characteristics as well as drainage and flooding patterns.

GREEN ARCHITECTUREResidential Village For The Gju Employees
Install dual plumbing lines in building interiors. Dual plumbing separates grey water from sewage. Dual plumbing is not difficult to install, but is most-
cost effective if done during initial construction. If dual plumbing lines are not installed initially, adding a grey
water treatment system later can be relatively expensive. For this reason, install dual distribution lines in new facilities if a grey water system may be
incorporated in the future.
Utilize grey water for non-potable purposes. Recycle grey water via a dual distribution
system, for such non-potable water uses as toilet flushing, thereby avoiding unnecessary use of high-quality potable water. Another major use of grey
water is for irrigation of areas such as golf courses and ornamental landscapes. A separate tank, filter, and special emitters are necessary in grey water
irrigation systems. Types of irrigation systems that can utilize grey water include:
- Drip irrigation with pressure dosing, which uses a pump system to dose the irrigation
water at regulated intervals;
- More traditional evapotranspiration systems;
- Shallow trench systems, which utilize distribution pipes placed close enough to the surface to allow for irrigation of plant roots;
- Spray irrigation using sprinklers should be avoided not only to reduce evaporative losses, but also to reduce potential health hazards from supplies of
grey water which has not been treated to potable standards;

4.2.2 Sewage Systems
Sewage can be treated on site to produce sludge and water. The water can be recycled for non-potable uses, reducing water consumption and overbur-
dening of municipal treatment facilities. Sludge can either be taken off-site for disposal at appropriate facilities, or may be biologically digested at on-site
facilities, potentially yielding exportable energy from production of methane.
As with grey water, incorporate segregated plumbing into design, isolating sewage from
other wastewater systems.
Utilize innovations such as low-pressure dosing systems in conjunction with septic tanks to overcome limitations of soil, geology, or topography.
Consider solid separators, sand filters and aerobic tank treatment. Sand filters, a low-cost wastewater treatment technology, have been in use for
many years. Aerobic tank systems offer advantages over traditional septic tanks, which do not use oxygen to treat waste.
Consider aquaculture systems (illustrated in Figure 3-1). In aquaculture systems, wastewater becomes a source of food for plants and fish. In the
process water is purified, as plants and fish ingest pollutants. This type of system requires high management, but produces food and fertilizer in return.
For example, both horizontal and vertical reed beds can be utilised for secondary and tertiary treatment of wastewater and can be integrated into
landscaping of the site, depending on land availability. The reed bed system utilises a system of sand and gravel of different grades, planted with localreed species.

Water HarvestingGroup IV: Water Use and Efficiency
Guideline no.: 5
3.2.3 Water Harvesting
Water harvesting means collecting runoff from the soils surface, paved surfaces, rooftops, and other sources, and storing it for future use such as
irrigation. Harvested water can include storm water and irrigation runoff, water from cooling towers and air-conditioning systems, and other drainage
structures directed into collection areas. After collection in a covered storage tank (to reduce evaporation potential), harvested runoff must be pressu-
rized in order to be used in an irrigation system.
Design flat roof spaces and paved pedestrian areas to collect rainwater runoff. Water collected from car parks may not be suitable for reuse forpurposes such as irrigation due to potential diesel and chemical content. The use of oil interceptors in car park drains may increase use potential from
this source and minimise the need for further treatment.
Utilize gravity flow to collect runoff into harvesting areas such as storage tanks, open ponds, or detention basins.
Direct rainfall from roofs and water from cooling towers into runoff harvesting areas.
3.3 Water Management
3.3.1 Monitoring of Water Use
Monitoring of water use, will assist in identification and reduction of wastage of potable water. Designs should incorporate water metering systems which
are accessible for review by site and facilities operators and users. Metering of different facilities and activities will also assist in identification ofinefficient practices or appliances. In this manner, facility managers, operators or residents can monitor and audit water use and can be encouraged to
introduce water saving measures.

Guideline no.: 6
3.3.2 Water Leakage
Designers should seek to limit or eliminate the wastage of potable water, or other natural surface or subsurface water resources through leakages.
Water leaks within a building or on a development can result in significant losses and cost as a result of damage or the building and its contents becom-
ing inoperable. Designs for water supply and discharge systems should incorporate leak detection systems to allow determination of location for repair.
This should include both indoor and outdoor distribution networks.

Water Efficient LandscapingGroup IV: Water Use and Efficiency
Guideline no.: 7
3.4 Water Efficient Landscaping
Limit or eliminate the use of potable water, or other natural water resources available on or near the project site, for landscape irrigation.
Use planting schemes that incorporate either native species or well adapted drought tolerant plants, requiring little or no irrigation.
Water at appropriate times of day i.e. not after 9am when water will evaporate quickly.
Introduce watering below surface to reduce evapotranspiration.
Use salt tolerant plant species, which will allow the blending of sweet water, such as treated grey water and treated sewage effluent (TSE), withbrackish or saline water from the ground or sea.
Incorporate rockery areas to reduce plant cover requirements.
Incorporate shading aspects, such as native trees or hard landscaping features into landscape design, reducing solar glare and potential for high
evaporation rates.
Where irrigation is necessary, only utilise water from grey water or treated effluent sources.
Irrigation methods such as buried drip feed should be utilised and timed to meet with lowest solar insulation and highest plant uptake during the day,
i.e. early in the morning. Above ground spray irrigation methods should not be used. Use drip irrigation systems, as shown in Figure 3-2.

Green RoofsGroup V: The Site
Guideline no.:1
a. Use green plantation on the buildings top Roof to provide shade/shading and protect it from direct heat gain and cool the atmosphere around these
roofs by evapotranspiration process, hence significantly reduce the urban heat island effect.
b. Apply green roofs to improve water quality in two ways: a) by capturing, breaking down and detoxifying pollutants found in rainwater such as, nitrogen
and phosphorus. This is achieved by the root systems' bacteria and fungi, which utilize the natural filtering processes of bioremediation and Phyto-
remediation; and b) by acting as a sponge that captures storm water and slowly releases it over time. This reduces storm water flow that holds organic
materials, chemical pollutants.
c. Ensure roofing membrane is used as a critical waterproofing layer under a green roof.
d. Apply a unique, root-resistant compound to prevent plant roots from penetrating beneath this waterproofing membrane.
e. Install a drainage layer to grantee that excess moisture is drawn away from the roofing membrane.
f. Guarantee a filter layer is included to prevent soil from clogging the drainage system, i.e., placed between the base membrane and a layer of soil
while enabling water to penetrate and support the plant life.
g. Apply lightweight: formulated soil to absorb and retain water in a controlled manner and to nourish the plant life
h. Customize a surface layer of plant life is to meet specific functional and aesthetic requirements of individual applications.
i. Install a vapour barrier or vapour retarder over the deck depending on occupancy and local conditions.
j. Ensure water and root-repellent membranes are installed on top of a reinforced roof structure.
k. Grantee that a soil layer is seeded with varieties of simple durable plants-sedums.
l. Use green roofs to reduce sound reflection .
