Indian historical landmarks like Fatehpur Sikri and the Meenakshi Sundareshvara Temple Complex in Madurai were significant design inspirations for Suzlon One Earth. On these campuses, open and enclosed spaces are cleverly mixed in a clustered design. Both contain flat, sturdy elements connecting the complexes and draw attention to elements emphasizing sacred sites and quadrants. The concept of having water bodies on these reference campuses was carried over to Suzlon One Earth. The building is constructed by one of India's highly decorated architects Prof. Christopher Benninger who has won the Indian Institute of Architects’ Annual Award for Excellence six times, more than any other architect. Project information Address: Pune, Maharashtra, India Rating system: LEED BD+C: New Constructionv3 - LEED 2009 Last certified on: March 1, 2010 Certification level: Platinum Suzlon One Earth, a project that has established numerous precedents concerning energy efficiency, water management, harvesting, and waste treatment systems for developing countries, has propelled India onto the international green map. Suzlon Energy Limited promised to build India's greenest office. The three-story structure is situated on 10.5 acres. Wind turbines (80%) and conventional and building-integrated solar panels (20%) are used to produce 5% (154 kilowatts) of the energy used there each year. One Earth is a zero-energy project because Suzlon's off-site wind turbines produce all the balance energy needed for the campus. 90% of the workstations have daylight and exterior views thanks to the design, which takes cues from vernacular architecture while preserving the environment and culture. This allows people to take in the seasons and weather and feel connected to the time of day. Light and cross-ventilation are permitted through aluminum louvers, which serve as a protective skin. Solar water heating and LED lighting systems both conserve energy. While all rainwater is collected, all sewage grey water is recycled in flushing, gardening, and air conditioning systems. The subterranean parking space may be ventilated and visually connected to all floors by glass exhaust vents with tropical plants. Site and Site Context The benefits of a developed area were factors in choosing the project site. Due to its position, the building has easy access to urban infrastructure, public transportation, and established infrastructure for the supply of power and water. The site for the project was chosen after careful consideration to meet not only the physical requirements of the company but also all the criteria for a genuinely Green project in a city like
