Zero Energy Building

Posted by Rajesh K Desai on April 9, 2012 at 6:08am
Dear Sir / Madam,Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) has set up new head office building at Gandhinagar & it will run on Solar Energy. An ideal example of “Zero Energy Building” (Detail information is mentioned below, cutting of The Times of India, 6th April, 2012)GPCB would be the first 100 % solar building which will power for40 A/c's,600 fans & 1000 CFL tubelights.It will generate 116800 units /year,actual consumption will be 84000 units.The remaining units will go for the grid.They are also going for the green plantation, proper landscaping & Water conservation system.Approximately 750 cubic meter of rain water is expected to be recharged into the underground aquifires every monsoon season.Also NABL has certified GPCB as a National Laboratory reported by TOI.As “Charity begins home”, GPCB has set up an example for all Industries and infracture projects to make almost use of Nature & it would be beneficial for the organization commercially also in long termDon’t think that what one person or one organization can contribute?, but think that if you start others will follow.So please take positive moral and do something to Save Mother Land.
