Benefits

  • Healthier, pleasant & comfortable interiors with natural light and cross ventilation.
    Front garden and grass pavers reduced urban heat island effect while providing source of edible plants.
  • Green wall provided sufficient shading of afternoon sun and provide further cooling due to evapo-transpiration.
  • Green wall likewise acts as a buffer of strong winds, dust, noise, rain, apart from solar heat gain.
  • Daylight from light wells and other fenestrations deem artificial light unnecessary during daytime.
  • With the provision of ceiling fans w/ lamps in the rooms, air conditioning is a necessity only during extremely warm and humid conditions
  • Rain water collected is used for irrigation and water efficient fixtures  result in reduced water bills
  • Energy efficient lamps and appliances and solar water heater result in reduced electric and water bills
  • The additional installation of solar pv for net metering further reduced electric bills
