» 100% of the outdoor lights have been connected with automatic switches.
• For achieving thermal comfort:
» EPI reduction of 50.21% from the GRIHA base case has been demonstrated through the integration of high-
performance systems.
Þ Renewable Energy Technology installed on Site:
• Solar Photovoltaic system of capacity 178kWp has been installed.
Þ Sustainable Building Materials:
• AAC blocks and flyash bricks have been used for walling in the project.
