Olympia Technology Park

Design Intent : Relative Heat Gain (RHG) of lesser than 150 W with Solar Factor and U-Value lower than 0.20 and 1.7 W/sqm respectively was required from the glass solution. Glass Solution used : SGG Cool-Lite Titanium Blue double glazed with SGG Planitherm Pristine White to give a very low solar factor of 0.15 and U-value of 1.5 W/sqm resulting in an overall RHG of 130 W was specifiedand used for the Green Building. Novel Architectural design resulted in increased daylighting and blending interiors with the exteriors.

Grundfos

Design Intent : Maximum Daylighting was intended without depending on artificial lighting. An energy efficient skylight was called for which could let in natural light and at the same time cut down the heat and reduce air conditioning expenses. Moreover the external views needed to form atleast 90% of the occupied areas. Glass Solution used : SGG Antelio Plus Emerald Glaze was used for the energy efficient sky light that allows abundant natural light to the interiors and cuts down the heat. This resulted in absolute non-usage of artificial lighting for the office spaces for the entire part of the day. The air conditioning expenses also have been kept at their minimal best due to the energy efficient glazing. The external views now form atleast 95% of the regularly occupied areas. This Green building consumes 25% less energy, compared to conventional building by adopting the above measures.

Wipro

Design Intent : To be an eco-friendly, high performance, low wastage and intelligent building, which is sustainable with having a mimimal negative impact on the enviroment. Design to reflect WIPRO’s vision to be an energy conscious organization Glass Solution used : SGG Antelio plus Emerald Glaze double glazed with SGG Ekologik and SGG Parsol Green double glazed with Ekologik. Saint-Gobain Glass worked closer with WIPRO from the design stage and advised them a glass solution that could perfectly fit their requirement. 75% of the area is daylit, 95% of workspace has direct access to outside view and an saving of 46% in the electricity bill.

ITC Green Centre

Design Intent : Overall energy efficiency of the façade with optimum light transmission was required. Particularly on the Northern side, the glass solution was required to give a higher light transmission due to the orientation of the building and at the same time control the temperature difference. Glass Solution used : SGG Cool-Lite Turquoise double glazed with SGG Ekologik was specified and glazed to give a very low solar factor and U-value to provide an energy efficient solution with optimum light transmission. Specifically for the Northern side of the facade SGG Parsol Green double glazed with SGG Ekologik to enable higher light transmission and at the same time provide the required U-value to maintain the temperature differential from the interiors to the exteriors.
