Dept. Of Architecture, School of Planning and Architecture Advantages: oPerfect N-S orientation o One-way continuous slab structure, extremely flexible interior spaces o Many areas are inherently comfortable
Embodied Energy of retrofitting,= 5,00,000 KWh Total Energy saved = 24,01,100 KWh Carbon Credits earned = 846
The building has not lived its full life, hence its embodied energy has still not been justified totally. Prematurely replacing it would be tantamount to wasting this energy.
High solar gain, specially on top floor
Disadvantages: o Compromise on comfort o Inefficient light fixtures, complicated switching system o Severe water-logging o Many unutilized spaces
Dense cluster of small spaces (staff rooms on 1st floor) – increase in heat value Canteen: Dingy and crowded Little natural light/ ventilation
Library: dusty, dim and hot
Severe waterlogging, no RWH
