Traditional Vastu Shastra and Modern
architectural knowledge come together
to impact nature
- Solar Passive Architecture
- Harvest light, air and water by using various design strategies
- Ideal wind flow pattern and natural air circulation
- Ideal Door and window openings
- Reduction in Energy Demand
- Use of Computer Simulation Tools for Wall Thickness optimization
- Projections used to reduce Solar Heat gain
Many design decisions like positioning all living areas facing north with large windows can introduce ample natural light into the living spaces. Or, positioning windows along the prevalent wind direction can bring in a lot of natural breeze into the living spaces. Small architectural changes that are made considering the ecology can bring about effective contribution in energy conservation.
These ideal architectural practices were implemented at multiple projects, resulting in reduced demand of energy shown by Maximum Demand readings on Transformer meter when maximum flats are consuming energy simultaneously.
Natural Structure Cooling System
Based on traditional knowledge, OCF implemented Structure Cooling System, which uses water to reduce the structural heat, thereby reducing energy inputs for air conditioning by minimum 30%
