Shapath V

• Building worth Rs 300 crore will be ready by December next year on 20,000 sq yards
• Green buildings use less energy, water and natural resources, create less waste and are healthier for occupants.
• Top soil removed while excavating for a foundation of Shapth V will be used in the terrace gardens of the building.
• This will insulate the building from direct heat cutting down cooling cost by a sharp 25-30 per cent.
• Materials being used include fly ash bricks and high performance glass that absorbs light but reflects heat. This glass has a unique property with which it selectively allows the light to come inside the building minus the heat. The heat gained by a building made of fly ash is less than other buildings, which reduces the use of air-conditioning in the room.
• The building will also have water harvesting tanks and an inbuilt sewage treatment plant.
