Bangalore International Centre is presently situated
in TERI’s building complex, which marks a novel paradigm
in the creation of an energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable
space successfully facilitating all thermal, visual, and aural
comforts for users. The design displays a dexterous interplay
of the five basic natural elements – sun, air, earth,
water and sky – with the built form, to meet all requirements
of thermal, visual, and aural comfort. This energy-efficient
building balances all aspects of energy use, and allows unhindered
flow of intellectual energies, lighting, space-conditioning,
and ventilation, by providing an optimized mix of passive solar
design strategies, energy-efficient equipment, and renewable
sources of energy, besides the use of materials with low embodied
energy. |
