Methodology S ustainability A ffordability I dentity L ivability ?

Our evolution and refinement in passive design techniques over the years shows through the reducing EPI figures we have been able to achieve with successive projects. We have successfully created exemplars that consume 70% lesser energy than established green rating benchmarks, without incurring additional cost. Optimization of all resources is a pre- requisite to our architecture today. With a local, socio- cultural response to design, our results are more often than not, passive solutions, which further help to reduce energy and water dependence by increasing the number of comfortable habitable hours with minimum reliance on mechanical means. Overall 70% improvement over GRIHA 43 KWh/sq.m/yr has be targeted for ITC Office spaces. S ustainability Energy Consumption
