SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

ACE CAPITOL

Building a Sustainable Future

Sustainability is the key for a better future. Keeping the same in mind, ACE Capitol has been built by following principles of sustainability. This new age commercial property on lease provides multiple features which are not only rich and contemporary but viable as well.

Building a Sustainable Future

Sustainability is the key for a better future. Keeping the same in mind, ACE Capitol has been built by following principles of sustainability. This new age commercial property on lease provides multiple features which are not only rich and contemporary but viable as well.

01

In order to reduce the undesirable impact on the ozone layer, the project accommodates eco-friendly fire-fighting and refrigeration systems in the building.

02

An energy savings of 18.99% is indicated through the energy modeling report over ASHRAE 90.1-2010 baseline.

03

During simulation, the proposed case efficiency and integrated part load efficiency of air-conditioning equipment are considered at 5.8 and 7.1, respectively.

04

Both structures have a wall window ratio of less than 25%.

05 The Guidelines of ASHRAE have been followed in terms of LPD values and for case of proposing we have used less than 30% LPD compared to Base case For Office: 0.78 W/ft2 For Washrooms: 0.46 W/ft2 For Passageways: 0.46 W/ft2 For Elevator Lobby: 0.44 W/ft2 For Staircases: 0.48 W/ft2
06 The following schedules have been assumed for the project based on ASHRAE standards: Equipment Schedule: Office: 9 am to 6 pm 90%; Occupancy Schedule: Office: 9am to 6pm 95%; Lighting Schedule: Office 9 am to 6 pm 90% HVAC Schedule: Office 8 am to 6 pm 90%
07 We have a competent and effective system design to save on Cooling Load. Base case: Inclusive of VFD pumps and enhanced COP along with cooling as well as heating capacity size of 1.
08 The tenants are required to use the fixture on lighting as it is necessary and instructed by the owner of the project.
09 Well-ventilated, fresh air in the usually occupied areas will surpass the least rates of ventilation as set in ASHRAE standard 62.1-2010.
10 The project has implemented the following two ways to satisfy air filteration compliance:
1. Entryway system at the building's main entrance 2. Use of MERV-13 filters

11 The provision of C02 sensors will be offered in the returning of air (so as to observe & track a level that is 530 ppm maximum) in all of the areas that are occupied on a regular basis.

10 The project has implemented the following two ways to satisfy air filteration compliance: to meet the compliance for air filteration:
1. Entryway system at the building's main entrance 2. Use of MERV-13 filters

11 The provision of C02 sensors will be offered in the returning of air (so as to observe & track a level that is 530 ppm maximum) in all of the areas that are occupied on a regular basis.

01

Daylight illuminance covering regularly occupied spaces.

02

The commitment of the developer was to use low VOC paints, adhesives & sealants.

03

High SRI material covers the exposed roof area.

Other Sustainable Features

The project includes electric charging stations to encourage the usage of non-fossil fuel cars such as electric charging vehicles. This will assist in lowering reliance on fossil fuels and air pollution.
Over 95% of building waste materials are handed over to the recycling agencies.
Paints, low flow plumbing fittings, PPC cement, AHU's, AAC blocks, and double glazing units as per guidelines by IGBC were utilised in this project.
A green haven with lush trees covering more than 15% of the landscaped land with natural topography.
Smoking is forbidden in the common areas, which is communicated to building occupants via signs.
In the project, native or drought-tolerant plants cover 71.3% of the overall landscape area, while grass covers 28.69%.
Sub-meters for municipal water pumping, treated waste water pumping, interior and common area lighting, power back-up and external area lighting, elevators/escalators, and a BTU metre for chilled water usage is part of the project.

We have pavers with grass covers, shaded by trees, and non-roof areas.

  • An on-site waste treatment system is installed to handle all organic waste generated in the building.
  • Water metres are installed to monitor municipal water supply, landscaping water supply, flushing water use, and the make-up of air-conditioning cooling towers.
  • At 12.5% one-day rainfall, the project can retain 100% of stormwater runoff.
  • Materials with recycled content: The project obtained materials with a recycled content such as AAC blocks, Aluminium, PPC cement, steel, glass, ceiling tiles, and vitrified tiles are examples of recycled materials.
  • Local materials: Most of the material were resourced manufactured locally within 400 kilometres. Steel, cement, Aluminium, glass, sand, aggregate tiles, and AAC Blocks were all locally resourced.
  • All wooden Doors are made of rapidly renewed wood.
Mist Cooling System in the courtyard are installed with controlled temperature ensuring people have a comfortable workspace.
Special features have been implemented in the project to make it Specially-abled friendly:  
  • Disabled restrooms on all floors.
  • Ramps at the entrance and exit.
  • Designated parking spaces near the lifts.
  • Visual warning signs in common and external spaces.
  • Braille and audio assistance are available in all elevators
