Building Operation Impacts
In general, buildings account for:
Why go Green?
Buildings:• Contaminate air, water and soil
• Cause health related illnesses
• Disturb natural habitat
• Deplete non-renewable resources
In general, buildings account for:• 1/3 of all energy consumption
• 2/3 of all electricity consumption
• 49% of sulfur dioxide emissions
• 25% nitrous oxide emissions
• 38% of carbon dioxide emissions
• 1/2 of greenhouse gases
• 10% of all particulate matter

Why Go Green?Construction Impacts
The Construction Industry Scenario:
• Over 76 million residential buildings
• Over 5 million commercial buildings
• Consumes 40 % of raw materials
• Utilizes more than 17% fresh water
• Contributes to 25% global wood harvest• Contributes to 25% global wood harvest
• Diverts over 60% debris to landfills
• Generates:
- 5 billion gallons of waste water per day
- 25-40% of municipal solid waste
- 50% of CFC production
- 30% of CO2 production

What is a Sustainable Space?
A place that generates a spirit of ownership where
every individual is convinced that they make the
SUSTAINABLE difference in their work and
environment
What is Green Design?
Design and Construction
practices that meet specified
standards to significantly
reduce or eliminate the reduce or eliminate the
negative impact of buildings
on the environment as well
as on its occupants. It is
classified into these five
broad areas
Benefits of Green Buildings
Increased building valuation and return on investment (ROI)
Competitive first costs
Reduced operating costs
Economic Benefits
Improved bottom line
Decreased staff health costs
Reduced risk liability
Marketing advantage

Key USPs in LEED certification
Reduced Opex costs – to demonstrate how by our designs and specifications the end-users will have reduced operating costs thru:
• Energy use reduction – Demonstrate the annual energy savings compared to conventional buildings
• Water use reduction – Demonstrate the annual water savings compared to conventional buildings
• Reduced use of artificial lighting – Demonstrate the % of natural light penetration in each apartment and space and how artificial light usage during the day is reduced
• Better Indoor environment – Demonstrate how every occupant has connect with outdoors, access to nature, better air quality, lesser indoor contaminants etc.
• Reduced waste to landfills – Demonstrate how by better practices the overall waste being dumped in the nearby landfills is reduced both - during construction and also post-occupancy
LEED v4 has 21 different rating system adaptions within 5 Rating System base
categories—BD+C, ID+C, O+M, Homes and ND. (5 different reference guides are
available for the 5 base rating systems
LEED v4 Rating Systems
Core LEED Credit CATEGORIES
LEED Credit Categories� LEED can be applied to any building at any point in the building’s lifecycle. In order to
measure if a building has met the definition of a high-performance green building as
defined by LEED, every LEED rating system (except LEED for Neighbourhood Development
and LEED for Homes) has performance criteria in these major areas:
• Location and Transportation – is the site located in a site to take advantage of existing
infrastructure and limit sprawl
• Sustainable sites – is the selected site able to maximize sustainability?
• Water efficiency – what can you do to save on landscaping water use and interior water use?
• Energy and atmosphere – how can you save energy, cut energy costs and encourage green
energy development and use?energy development and use?
• Materials and resources – are your building materials sustainable for the environment, and
where does the waste go?
• Indoor environmental quality – how can you increase the productivity, satisfaction, and health
of the occupants?
• Innovation in Design (or Operations) – what can you discover that isn’t in the rating system to
add even further value to the project?
• Regional Priority - encourages teams to address specific environmental priorities in the project’s
region
No matter what rating system you look at, these six categories will always be present.
Levels of Certification� The ‘greenness’ of a LEED project is based on a 100 point scale with an
additional 10 bonus points under Innovation and Regional Priority credit
categories.
� There are four levels of LEED certification:
� Certified: 40-49 points (BD &C)
� Silver: 50-59 points
� Gold: 60-79 points
� Platinum: 80+ points� Platinum: 80+ points
� No specific products or design strategies are credited. The entire project
or building is credited and eventually certified, rather than specific
products.
� Two Gold rated buildings may use completely different systems and
strategies.

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION
� En3 is committed to adoption of technology and tools to enhance
Productivity and improve Quality of deliverables
� En3 believes in processes that drive knowledge management and
capture lessons in different phases of the project and use the learning
effectively in all on-going and future projects
� A comprehensive list of tools that will be used by En3 during the course
of the project is listed belowof the project is listed below
� En3’s experience of working over 400+ green building projects in India
and abroad over the last 10 years, the extent of market Intelligence

future designs and implementation
TOOLS FOR PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS No Tool Name Project Phase Tool Description Benefits
1 Green Rating Matrix Throughout the project Captures high level credit requirements, status
of each Green credit, point status and will be
used as the basis for all status reporting and
communication
Allows capture of key project variables and has
automated credit feasibility checks based on inputs. All
status reports and stakeholder action items are
automatically generated with this matrix as the basis.
This will be placed under change control using
Subversion. Any changes to project variables during the
course of the project can be managed in one place and
ensures effective traceability to credit documentation
thereby enabling defect prevention
2 Subversion Throughout the project Configuration management tool. Acts as a
document management and change control
tool for maintaining project documentation
and collaboration
Enables traceability, version control and allows teams to
work always on the latest baseline
3 Visual DOE, Energyplus Design For Energy Modelling & simulation En3’s Extensive experience in using energy modelling
software, Ease of storing simulation results and ability to
rerun with few input parameter changes and generate rerun with few input parameter changes and generate
multiple EEM options for the project
4 Fresh Air Calculation Template Design Provides AHU/system wise compliance check
in compliance with ASHRAE 62.1
Ease of use, enhances productivity and creates
automated credit documentation submittal forms
5 Ecotect/RADIANCE Design Day lighting simulation Enables interior designs to harvest maximum daylight
and reduce artificial energy use
6 Issue Trackers Design and Construction Maintain all open and closed Issues in the
project
Issue Logs will be tracked closely and periodically sent to
the Project Manager and Client
7 Status reports Design and Construction Creditwise Stakeholder specific status reports
and action items tracker
Effective Dashboard for project status tracking and Action
items
8 Lighting Power Density
Calculation Template
Design and Construction Tool that captures project variables from
architect drawings and automatically
calculates LPD for all project areas and check
compliance
Has an interface with AutoCAD to automatically capture
project variables from architect drawings and calculates
LPD. Creates credit submittal documentation
automatically. Its easy to incorporate changes to
drawings to the tool as it has an interface with AutoCAD
10 Checklists Design and Construction Comprehensive checklists to check every
credit compliance
Will be used by En3 during internal audits as part of
Quality Control and during Site Audits
11 Innovative Green Practices and
Materials Database
Design Comprehensive list of Innovative Green
Measures and materials repository
implemented in past projects executed by En3
and updates from USGBC website
Will be referred by En3 to suggest project specific
Innovative Green Measures that can achieve Cost
