The new eco-friendly corporate office of Delta not only supports Delta’s commitment to the environment but also doubles as a manufacturing unit for Delta display solutions.
The new building’s design incorporates energy efficient architecture, eco-friendly building materials and building management systems. The energy saving features of the building include a rooftop solar energy solution with a capacity of around 55 KWH of energy, use of LED streetlights, T5 and LED lighting, natural light harvesting, screw compressor based water chillers with COP (coefficient of performance) of 6 and primary variable pumping coupled with heat recovery wheel. These features are expected to result in 35% energy savings compared to a conventional building.
Water saving features incorporated into the facility include an anaerobic sewage treatment plant, use of recycled water for non-consumption applications including flushing and gardening, rainwater harvesting pits, grasscrete for surface water recharge and local low water consuming plantation.
The building was constructed using green materials including autoclaved aerated blocks, fly ash in the concrete aggregate mix, gypsum and Bagasse wood, recycled aluminium, double laminated glass with insulation, use of Low-E glass in the structural glazing and fenestrations and zero VOC paints and adhesives.
Delta India has applied for LEED platinum rating in accordance with the guidelines of the Indian Green Building Council’s LEED standards.
