GOALS Energy Performance:
Baseline electricity consumption is 4-4.5kWh per person per day. We target to reduce the electricity consumption by 40% and to achieve electricity consumption around 2.5kWh per person per day. To achieve 100% daylighting to reduce the energy consumption during daytime. Thermal Comfort: Heat gain reduction by 80% through building envelop. Increse in natural ventilation throughout the year. 70% comfort hours throught the year. Solid Waste Management The intent of solid waste management being that waste should not go to landfills and can be reused as much as possible. Segregation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste with the help of the occupants. The collected biodegradable waste can be converted to compost and can be used as manure for the on-site vegetation. Total waste generation on site is estimated to be 0.57 kg/person/day. Biodegradable waste – 0.1 kg/person/day, total -152 kg / day Non biodegradable – 0.47 Area of vegetation – 40% of total site area (38386 sq mt) – 15355 sq mt Manure requirement – 2 ltrs/sq mt Total manure requirement – 31370.43 ltrs 75% of the manure requirement would be fulfilled from the manure produced from the biodegradeable waste that would be obtained from the site. Resiliance Use of sustainable and locally available material and techniques which would have proven its durability over time to provide structural resilience. Affordability Achieving it by the use of locally available materials and use of affordable yet durable construction methodology. Aiming to obtain an affordable living by the means of high energy performing building, water conservation and harvesting, and on-site energy production. Solar Decathlon 2020-21
