CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Transportation is one of the most important requirements for aid of communication from one place to other for visiting purpose or in the sense of tourism. A number of factors like the convenience from one place to the other, promotion of tourism, for communication between places, etc. have predicted the importance of planning such as roadways industries in the essence of BUS TERMINAL. Transportation system improves the social, economic, industrial and commercial process and further transforms the society into an organized one. It is one of the essential services, vital force for determining the direction of development. To achieve the desired transportation balance and for the system to be efficient. As transportation is concerned with the movement between origin and destination involves the movement of people and goods. There is need for an access point in the system for use. The current transport situation in Delhi highly demands for an integrated transit system. An interstate/city bus terminal is a landmark in the city and nonetheless “the gateway of the city.” This can be considered as an indicator of development of any city/town. This can be considered as an indicator of development of any city/town. Unfortunately such structure has been neglected up till so far in terms of social focal point or the architectural features. The topic bus terminus has been chosen as the society is developing at a faster rate and so the infrastructural need is gaining momentum. Delhi has one of the India’s largest bus transport systems. Buses are the most popular means of transport catering to about 60% of Delhi’s total demand. Buses are operated by the state-owned Delhi transport corporation (DTC). The Delhi buses serve more than 800 stops all around the city and the state.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

Connects almost all the major centers of north India with its services. It connects Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Haryana.

1.1. ROAD TRANSPORT IN INDIA 1.1.1 National highways, State highways, District roads and Village roads etc. 1.1.2 National highways carry approximately 40% of the total traffic but only 3.5% of the entire road network. 1.1.3 The Indian road network is under much needed development. Some 40% of villagers in India lack access to all weather roads and remain isolated during the monsoon season.

1.2 MODES OF TRANSPORT 1.1.1 PUBLIC 1.1.2 PRIVATE With the rapid growth of urbanisation in recent decades, public transport services, particularly bus services in many cities in India lack their full potential. Due to inefficient public transport systems, there has been an increase in the personalized mode of travel in most cities, leading to increase in traffic density resulting in longer travel time, reduced average speed, and increased fuel consumption, higher levels of pollution and discomfort to road users. So there is a need for efficient transport system with the growth of urbanisation.

1.3 PRESENT SCENARIO Road transport is still the dominant mode of transportation – both for moving goods and passengers. Railways handle only 40% of the freight and 20% of the passenger load, 60% of the goods and 80% of passenger’s movement takes place through roads. Out of total length of national highways, 27% if single lane/intermediate lane; whereas 59% is double lane standard; and the rest 14% is fourlane/six-lane/eight-lane standard. 9

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

As transport is the movement of people and goods from one place to another, there is a need for access nodes from which people can segregate to their own destinations transit modes from the infrastructure facility. These nodes can be bus terminuses, interstate bus terminuses for roadways, railways stations for railways, ports for waterways etc.

1.4 BUS TERMINUS A Bus terminus is a structure where a number of buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers and stop for maintenance or next day departures to different destinations. It is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside, where buses can stop. It may be intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a transfer station where the routes continue.

1.5 SCALE OF A TERMINUS It depends on the vehicular movement scale within that city and also on size of the city e.g. Delhi is a capital city, there is a bulk of interstate buses so it comes under cities having large scale traffic movement, so there would be a need for bus terminuses having more area.

3.3 DETAIL OF BUILT-UP AREA/INFRASTRUCTURE AND SPACE ANALYSIS 3.3.1 INFRASTRUCTURE The infrastructural requirements for bus terminals respond to the bus and passenger demand within a given site. Identified infrastructural elements consume space based on planned capacity, which when aggregated defines the site area requirement for a proposed terminal facility. These infrastructural elements includes bus transfer, park-and-ride, drop-off, vehicular parking, and meet-and-greet areas, as well as various inside terminal elements such as walkways, stairways, escalators, turnstiles, ticket machines, and platforms, staff and drivers. Ancillary facilities that act as a feeder to bus terminal, also need attention. The building area that houses these facilities need to respond to a defines level of service in order to accommodate the required footfall. Space and architectural standards define the relationship between spatial requirements and level of service. Primary elements to be considered with regard a bus terminal’s infrastructure development can be classified for three different types of users. These include passengers, terminal staff and bus staff. 1. Passenger Area a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l.

SPACE ANALYSIS

PUBLIC SEATING Seating in any of the terminal types may be provided in the form of a separate waiting room or, in a more open plan, in the form of a simple seating area within a larger public space. This function should be directly accessible to the concourse area and should be provided with drinking facilities, trash baskets, clocks and televisions. The amount of public seating varies depending on individual circumstances, terminal type, and economic priorities. As a general rule of thumb, however, an allowance of one seat for every three passengers would be adequate for an intercity terminal. The passenger quantity is calculated by multiplying the number of loading bays by an average bus capacity between 35 to 46 people. A 10 bay loading platform will result in a terminal seating of between 117 to 154. TICKETING FACILITIES The trend in ticketing facilities in the modern terminal, regardless of the type is towards open counters in contrast to the antiquated caged 17

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

windows. In the larger intercity terminal, where more than one carrier may operate, separate self-contained glass walled offices may be provided, each housing their individual open ticket counters. The greatest number of selling positions are required in the intercity terminal. On the average, one position should be provided for each 25 to 30 waiting room seats. The lineal feet of counter space depends on individual carrier operations and the type of ticketing equipment used and may vary 1 to 1.5 mts per position and/or about 4.5 to 5.5 sq. mt. per position. The height of the counter is usually 1 to 1.2 mts. BAGGAGE ROOM Baggage room requirements vary significantly with terminal type and operation. In Indian scenario till date the baggage is usually hand carried directly onto the bus or to the baggage room, and from there it is placed on the bus. The baggage room should have an area equal to about 10% of total building or contain about 4.5 sq mt for each loading bay, whichever is higher. The baggage room should also be equipped with standard metal racks about four or five tiers high for baggage storage. A portion of the baggage room may be used for a package express service, which should function without interfering with concourse traffic. The length of the counter depends on the scope of the operation, which varies each location. PUBLIC LOCKERS AND TELEPHONES Lockers and telephones are revenue producing, and the quantities to be provided depend to a great degree on their potential earning capacity. DISPATCH OFFICES The dispatch offices control all bus movement and consequently should be located on the concourse so that it can observe all loading bays. The size of the dispatch office may vary anywhere from 5 to 15 sq mt.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

OFFICES All terminals regardless of type require a certain amount of office space. The specific area to be provided depends on the terminal size and type. Although usually offices for the terminal manager, passenger agents, and switch board are sufficient, in large terminals more elaborate facilities are required. RENTAL SPACES The amount of rental space to be provided for stores, shops, concession, etc., depends primarily on the earning potential involved and the amount of space available location.

3.4 CONNECTIVITY OF VARIOUS ACTIVITY AREAS 3.4.1 STUDY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIFFERENT BUILDING BLOCKS/SPACES AND MOVEMENT General function organization of the terminal is determined by site configuration, the volume and the type of the bus operations, and passenger and bus traffic circulation. Although all terminal types to some extent share common planning problems, there do exist some significant differences in design rationale. An island plan with the functional elements radiating from the core allows for maximum efficiency. Such a relationship would allow the waiting areas to serve as the central focal point, with bus bay positions being equidistant. As the terminal becomes more linear in plan, functional elements begin to lose their cohesiveness and often require duplication. Although the design of all terminal types is largely dedicated by bus and passenger volumes, this consideration become even more significant in the design of high-volume commuter bus terminals In such facilities the design is controlled more by bus and passenger volumes, traffic circulation, and the restaurant/food-court space demands for large number of bus bays, while baggage handling provisions are minimal or non-existent. These spaces demand may duplicate a vertical, multiple-bus-level solution, with intermediate passenger circulation concourses. Traffic access by direct exclusive highways on the 23

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

bus side and by feeder transit, auto and taxis on the passenger side are important elements of this type of terminal. It is essential, therefore, that the parking facilities be located so as to minimize the walking distance to the terminal and that egress and ingress be planned to avoid traffic congestion along nearby arteries. If possible, some covered walkways should be provided leading from the parking field to the terminal building. Since there will be movement of both vehicle and passengers at same level, provisions must be made, for obvious safety reasons, to separate the two as much as possible. Terminals requirements should include provisions for ticket sales, vending machines and/or small snack bar, toilet facilities, office, baggage and/or storeroom. 3.4.2 FLOWCHART SHOWING CONNECTIVITY OF VARIOUS AREAS

3.5 CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT 3.5.1 ACCESS AND APPROACH Access to the terminal should be convenient, barrier free and facilitate streamlined internal circulation. Additionally, the ingress and egress points should be so located that they are not in conflict with traffic circulation at the peripheral road network. One way of achieving this is by creating alternative access/egress points by integrating multi modal facilities with the bus terminal; this can further convenience commuters by providing access/egress choices. 3.5.2 PARKING The objective of the layout design is to maximize the number of stalls, while following the guidelines. The layout of parking facility must be flexible enough to adapt to future change in vehicle dimensions. The stall and aisle dimensions must be compatible with type of operation planned for the facility.

3.5.4 CAMPUS LIGHTING Bus terminal are among those public infrastructural facilities that usually operate 24 hours a day. Bus terminal operations continue beyond sunset, necessitating lighting provisions. But lighting is also required during the day, because of solid roofing in the terminal buildings, owing to which the environment inside becomes dark and discomforting. Lighting plays a key role in enhancing terminal facilities – through ambient illumination in order to allow safe, comfortable, and functional environment, and to highlight key architectural aspects to create an iconic and attractive bus terminal. Bus terminal lighting is designed to meet the specific and other transit areas (parking, walkways, internal or underground areas, bus stops, and shelters). The main objective is to provide passengers a sense of personal security. Appropriate lighting provisions help passengers to see (and approach) the designated transit areas (and other passenger amenities) within the terminal. Adequate lighting in the terminal aid operators in proper management of bus operations. Further, it helps bus drivers identify waiting passengers and possible obstructions in the bus areas (boarding bays, unloading bays, and idle bus parking areas), especially during night hours. TYPES OF LIGHTING: Three types of lighting are used in terminals. These are: i. Continuous lighting: This is the most common type of security lighting system installed in bus terminals. It consists of a series of fixed lights arranged continuously, to light interior or exterior areas during hours of darkness. They can be used around a building perimeter, pedestrian pathways, vehicle approaches, or property boundaries. ii. Standby lighting: This lighting type is similar to continuous lighting, in layout and design, except that the luminaries are not continuously lit. Instead, they are turned on either automatically (when activity is detected in the area) or manually. Standby lighting should use instant ‘on’ lighting lamps (e.g., incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, inductively coupled, or LED). 29

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

iii. Mobile lighting: This lighting type is manually operated and moveable. Mobile lighting may supplement continuous or standby lighting. It can be used at special events and in emergencies, during hours of darkness.

3.6 BUILDING SERVICES 3.6.1 PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES SEWERAGE AND SANITATION Waterlogging and ponding is a major problem in most Indian bus terminals. Needless to say, it impacts terminal performance. It causes inconvenience to commuters, contributing to the terminal becoming unattractive and generates additional expenses in terms of higher maintenance cost. Its main cause is the terminal planner’s apathy for drainage/sewage considerations. Therefore, the guideline advocates provision of adequate arrangements for drainage of all sewage and waste water in terminals. Terminal planning should incorporate the necessary profile design of large open spaces, in order to avoid accumulation of water and ensure rapid drainage, even during peak rainfall events. The terminal should be planned in a way that major interface zones between commuters and buses are kept away from drainage facilities; e.g., the bus bay areas (especially unloading and boarding) should not be over (or near) catch basins, as this creates a potential tripping hazard. Additionally, boarding and off-boarding areas should be adequately sloped, to drain water from the passenger-bus interfaces. This water should then be directed to drainage channels provided in the system, such as natural earth swales, concrete gutters, or ditches. These channels should be located (and shaped) to minimize the potential for traffic hazards, and to accommodate the anticipated storm-water flows. The drainage in bus terminals should be designed to cause no stagnation at the maximum discharge rate for which the different units are designed. According to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority 2009, passenger boarding areas should be designed with minimum slope gradient of 1:50 (2%) for drainage. 30

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

3.6.2 FIRE FIGHTING For terminal development in India, Part-IV (Fire and Lift Safety) of National Building Code of India should be followed, unless otherwise specified. However, additional state and city level building codes and fire safety are available across the nation and may also be referred to. Thus, terminals should be planned, designed and constructed, in consultation with the appropriate government agencies. In case of nongovernment projects, the appropriate building code and fire code should be consulted, for minimum and recommended fire safety measures. To ensure fire safety, the terminal building schemes shall be cleared by the Chief Fire Officer. Additionally, fire protection engineers must be involved in all aspects of the design, to ensure a reasonable degree of protection of human life from fire (and combustion products), as well as to reduce the potential loss from fire (real and personal property, information, organizational operations). Terminal projects need to be designed to incorporate efficient and costeffective fire protection system, both passive and automatic. These systems are effective in detecting, containing and controlling and/or extinguishing a fire event at early stages. Some of these fire-fighting systems are listed below: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. x. xi.

Wet riser Hose reel Automatic sprinkler system Fire hydrant Under-ground water tank with draw off connection Terrace water tank Fire pump Terrace pump First aid fire-fighting appliances Manually operated electrical fire alarm system Public assistance system with talk back facility 32

3.6.3 COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM A Bus terminal’s function is to manage commuters and buses in a synchronized and organized manner, ensuring comfort, safety, and security of the terminal users (commuters, staff and operators). Terminals often fail at this, owing to lack of controlled information sharing, which causes anxiety and inconvenience among users. In India, terminals are plagued with problems like increased waiting time, uncertainty in bus arrival, and stacking of buses in the terminals. Bus schedule is often disturbed due to unpredictable factors like traffic conditions, weather situation, traffic jams, breakdowns etc. This leads to unreasonable long waiting time at the terminal, which compromises level of service to passengers, ultimately reducing the attractiveness of the facility An interface between commuters and buses, the ITS architecture of bus terminals comprises two components Passenger Information System (PIS) and Bus Information System (BIS). PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM (PIS) It is an electronic information system which provides real-time passengers information It may include both pre-directions about bus arrival and departure time, as well as, information about the nature and causes of disruptions.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

PIS serves as a communication link between terminal operators and commuters With the help of passenger information technology, terminal authorities can communicate with passengers to provide them real-time bus location and status updates, schedule data, and timely announcements. BUS INFORMATION SYSTEM (BIS) It provides information required by bus staff, i.e., drivers and conductors. It includes bus parking information, schedule of bus entry and exit in the terminal, route information, and trip information. BIS enables driver to precisely allocate dispatching time (for next trip) from terminal, and get information on the bus bay allocated to him/her for boarding passengers (especially important in dynamic bay allocation type of bus terminal operations).

3.6.4 WASTE DISPOSAL Waste is defined as an unwanted or undesired material or substance. It consists of rubbish, trash, junk, and garbage or the unwanted materials from various areas like administrative blocks, offices, kitchens, various facilities, etc. The management systems may deal with the collection, transportation, recycling, disposal, or processing of waste. It varies according to both the kinds of waste material to be treated and the aims of the treatment itself.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

It is to maintain a clean and healthy environment, curb health epidemics and environmental pollution, and recover materials for reuse or recycling. Separate wet and dry bins must be provided in each unit and at the ground for facilitating segregation of waste.

WASTE HANDLING – This comprises all activities associated with managing wastes until they are placed in storage containers before collection or returned to recycling centre. WASTE STORAGE - This refers to all places where generated waste is stored until collected. WASTE COLLECTION - Collection of wastes involves gathering of the waste materials and haulage by vehicles after collection to locations where the collection vehicles are emptied.

3.6.5 RAINWATER HARVESTING Rainwater Harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater that falls on a catchment surface (typically a roof, although almost and external surface could be suitable) for use, independent form, or supplemental to the main water supply.

3.7 CIRCULATION AND PLANNING 3.7.1 STAIRCASE A riser height of 150mm can be managed by most people, a little more than this is possible if there are well designed handrails. Steps with very shallow risers can cause problems and should be avoided, 100mm is the absolute minimum. Tread depth or going should be 300mm, never less than 250mm and the nose of the step should be rounded without any overhang. People with walking difficulties cannot manage long flight of steps. The maximum number risers in a flight should be 12, with resting places between successive flights. Resting places should be at least 1200mm long, preferably 1800mm, and across the full width of the stairway.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

Stairs should have a minimum clear width between handrails of 1200mm which is sufficient for a disabled person and companion. Stairs of 1800mm width are needed where there is concurrent two-way movement. Stairs that lead to a platform, on which people will be carrying luggage, should 3000mm wide (with center handrails).

There should unobstructed landing space at the top and bottom of each flight of a length at least equal to the unobstructed width of the stairway.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

3.7.2 ELEVATORS/LIFTS 1)

CONVENTIONAL ELEVATOR:

•

Conventional elevators includes the old and conventional elevators that were used in high rise structure. • Traditional elevators in tall buildings require a large footprint and waste leasable space.

MACHINE ROOM LESS ELEVATORS:

•

Machine room less elevators are a type of either traction of hydraulic elevator which do not require a modern room for the elevator. • Machine room less elevators do not have a fixed machine room on the top of the hoistway, instead the traction hoisting machine is installed either on the top side wall of the hoistway or on the bottom of the hoistway. The clear width of the doorway into the lift should be 900mm, which allows for wheelchair users elbow space. The minimum clear height of the doorway should be 2100mm, with 2300mm inside the lift cabin. Control buttons used to call a lift should be positioned between 900mm and 38

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

1100mm above floor level. They should not be positioned closer than 400mm to an internal corner or other obstruction; if they are a wheelchair user many find it difficult to reach them. Outside the lift door there should be sufficient space for a wheelchair user to manoeuvre into place and to wait without obstructing the passage of other people. A clear landing 1500x1500mm is the minimum. If this floor area is finished in a different colour from its surrounding area it will help visually impaired people to locate the lift. 3.7.3 RAMPS In many places, ramps (defined as a gradient of more than 1 in 20) will provide the alternative access to stairs for wheelchair users. Where the change in level is no more than 200mm a ramp may be used without alternative steps. Most guidelines specify 5 per cent (1 : 20) as the preferred gradient and 8 per cent (1 : 12) as the absolute maximum acceptable. There is a relationship between the length of a ramp and the gradient that people can manage; the longer the ramp the less severe the gradient that is feasible. One possible approach to this is, where a lengthy ramp is necessary, to design more frequent landings and lesser slopes for each successive segment.

If more than one flight is needed, there must be rest places between the flights. These should be level under cover (1 in 50 gradient if outside to drain surface water) should be at least 1500mm long and full width of the ramp. The landings at the foot and head of a ramp should be at least 1200mm long, of any obstruction such as door swing and, again, should be the full width of the ramp. The minimum surface width of a ramp 39

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

should be 1200mm, but as with stairways, two-way movement requires more space preferably 2000mm (minimum 1800mm). Handrails should be provided on each side, with a minimum clear width rail to rail of 1000mm. Where this unobstructed width exceeds 2000mm, a central, continuous handrail may be used as an alternative a handrail on each side. The sides of a ramp should be protected by a raised solid kerb at least 100mm in height. This is done to avoid the possibility of the footplate of a wheelchair riding over the kerb or becoming trapped.

3.8 MATERIALS, METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS 3.8.1

STRUCTURE SYSTEMS

Structural systems are those elements of construction that are designed to form part of a building’s structure either to support the entire building or just a part of it. So, a steel frame is a structural system that supports the building and everything on it and in it. A space frame is a structural system that typically supports the roof. TYPES OF STRUCTURAL THAT CAN BE USED IN BUS TERMINAL 1. Continuous Structure system (Column & Beam structure): These comprise continuous supporting walls through the combined loads and forces in a building are transferred, mainly by direct compression, into the subsoil through the foundations 2. Framed Structure system: Reinforces concrete and steel can all be used to create regular frameworks comprising beams and columns. The beams transfer loads from roof, floors and walls to the columns. The columns transfer the beam loads to the subsoil though foundations. Compared to a continuous support type structure of similar weight, a framed structure typically transfers more concentrated loads into the subsoil.

3.9 LANDSCAPING 3.9.1 STUDY OF PLANT MATERIAL (WINTER / SUMMER / EVERGREEN – TREES, SHRUBS, FLOWERS, GOUND COVER) In Composite climate, abundance of water can cause problems such as promoting the growth of bacteria and fungi which could be very harmful to plants. Plants grow rapidly and quickly use up any organic material left from decomposing plants and animals.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

However, the plants at the top of the rainforest in the canopy, must be able to survive 12 hours of intense sunlight every day of the year. Following are the trees and plants that can grow in Composite climate: i.

BAUHINIA VARIEGATA (Orchid Tree) • Semi-deciduous tree • Height – 15m • Flowering season – Feb to April

ii.

SARACA ASOCA (Sita Ashoka Tree) • Small evergreen tree • Height – 15m • Flowering season – Feb to April

iii.

FICUS RELIGIOSA (Peepal Tree) • Deciduous or evergreen tree • Height – 30m • Flowering season – Feb

3.10 CLIMATIC CONSIDERATIONS 3.10.1

CLIMATIC ZONES

For the purpose of design of buildings, the country may be divided into the major climatic zones:

3.2.2: Each climate zone does not have same climate for the whole year; it has a particular season for more than 6 months and may experience other seasons for the remaining period. A climatic zone that does not have any season for more than 6 months may be called as Composite Zone. For the point of view of lighting and natural ventilation, the following climatic factors influence the optimum orientation of the building: a) Solar radiation and temperature b) Relative humidity, and c) Prevailing winds.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

3.10.2

CLIMATIC STUDY IN RELATION TO BUILDIING ORIENTATION

Delhi region lies Composite climate zone. Following things should be followed while designing a building in Composite climate. BUILDING DESIGN 1) Orientation: NE – SW. This helps in receiving less radiation which results in lesser heat gains and reduced the overall air-conditioning requirement and hence save energy. Proper orientation also helps in receiving natural light and ventilation.

2) Building Height: Minimum height above ground level to limit exposure to external condition. Recessed windows to reduce external solar heat gains.

3) Water Body: Fountain to flow extensive surfaces to maximize evaporation. Water evaporation has a cooling effect in the surrounding.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

BUILDING ENVELOPE 1) Walls: Insulation helps to retain cool in summer and heat in winter, and acts as sound proof. This can create a major impact on indoor thermal comfort of the building.

2) Windows: Singles glazed unit helps in integrating optimum daylight. Recessed windows and optimum Window Wall Ratio which is less than ECBC standard (40%) helps in reducing external solar heat gain.

3) Roof: The glazed tile reflects heat off the surface because of the high solar reflectivity and infrared emittance which prevents heat gain and thus helps in reducing the cooling load from the building envelope.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

BUILING LIGHTING 1) Day Light integration: Window area should be 14% of the external wall area, small peep windows at seating height and large windows at ceiling level. 2) Lighting System: 9% of the total connected load for the building. Luminaries used – down lighter recessed type CFLs, electronic ballasts used mostly. The percentage of the lighting load to the total load shows that there is very % of artificial lighting used in the building. The electronic ballasts save approx. 20-30% in energy consumption over standard ballasts.

3.11 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS 3.11.1

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCES

Environmental clearance is the procedure to get clearance from the government for the ‘installation’ and ‘modification’ of certain projects. Environmental clearance is mandatory for the projects which can cause high environmental pollution. For building plans with a total built-up area between 5,000 sqm and 1,50,000 sqm, environment clearance will be required to be synchronized with the bye-laws.

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

3.11.2

SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS

Sustainability analysis work looks at the environmental, life-cycle, climate, and other impacts of renewable energy technologies. Low impact designs: use of design strategies; cavity walls, courtyards etc.

PRESERVE AND PROTECT LANSCAPE: •

To protect the natural features (trees, wate body, top layer of soil, topography, contours) • Transplant, either plant 3 new trees for cutting of a mature tree. ENERGY EFFICIENCY: •

According to ECBC, all electrical fixtures should be BEE-star rated. • Court (daytime usage building) : min 5% and max 25% energy should be consumed by on-site/off-site renewable energy or 100% energy from off-site. DESIGN FOR UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY: Usable for all age group (old, physically / mentally handicapped). WATER MANAGEMENT: Reducing landscape water demand (minimizing lawn area OR native tree/shrubs). ACHIEVING INDOOR COMFORT: •

Minimum 25% area should meet daylight factor (ratio of light inside & outside the structure) • According to NBC, of sets & chiller should have acoustic insulation for comfortable noise levels (40 – 50 dB)

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

3.11.3

GREEN BUILDINGS

The building should be planned as a Green Building to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and natural environment by: •

Efficiency using energy, water and other resources. • Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity. • Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation. 3.11.4

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Buildings as they are designed, constructed and used have enormous energy implications. With number of people and institutions rushing towards urban centers, energy requirements of cities due to buildings to rise sharply in future. Looking at the high degree of energy consumption by built environment, which has been placed at 300 Kwh for every square metre on annual basis, there appears to be enough options to bring it down to the level of 140 Kwh with proper design. Thus built environment is the sector which require close scrutiny and monitoring for effecting overall economy in the levels of energy consumptions Experience has shown that buildings can be designed to meet the occupants needs for thermal comfort at reduced level of energy consumption by adopting an integrated approach to building design. The integrated approach could include orientation, shape and size of the building, built form, surface to volume ratio, building efficiency, ratio between length and depth of the building, using techniques of building structure, efficient structural design, principles of solar passive techniques in building design, using energy efficient equipment, control strategies for lighting, heating, ventilation etc. using solar energy for meeting the energy needs of buildings, replacing energy intensive materials with low energy components etc. Main features of the energy efficient buildings would be essentially revolve around:

3.12 URBAN SPACES AND FENESTRATIONS HARDSCAPE AND LANDSCAPING It is important to ensure that landscaping complements the spatial design and enhances the visual appeal of the terminal. Outdoor and indoor passenger areas should be smoothly hardscaped, to facilitate easy connection between site’s periphery and the terminal. The paving’s surface quality should ensure durability as well as resistance against wear, walking comfort and usability by wheelchairs, prams and baggage trolleys. PUBLIC ART Visual space perception (mental copying of objects and events of the outer world) helps people recognize spaces within a particular environment, such as a bus terminal complex. It increases the imageability, cultural identity, and social attractiveness of enclosed spaces. As such, public art installations and other aesthetic elements in the complex are likely to contribute to its visual appeal and overall attractiveness, and must be integrated into the terminal building’s development. Contemporarily, ‘public art’ has also come to include various other elements like urban furniture, lighting, multimedia, graffiti and commercial art. Public art is by the people, and for the people, and as such should also be sourced from them. Therefore, it is important to allocate planned spaces for such installations, and make appropriate funding available for integration of the same. BUILDING ENVELOPE Building occurs in all buildings with varying extent. Unintentional gaps or outdoor openings in the building envelope can cause undesired air currents. These can have a negative effects on the energy demand, thermal comfort, moisture convection and air quality. Increased energy due to infiltration can be a result of air entering the insulation and reduces the thermal comfort. Air currents directly in to the building increase the amount of uncooled or unheated outdoor air which must be compensated by the technical systems in order to maintain the temperature set points in the building. Infiltration can cause cold surface and draught which decreases the thermal comfort for the occupants. 54

SWAMI VIVEKANANAD INTERSTATE BUS TERMINAL ANAND VIHAR, DELHI

Unfiltered air can carry odour’s and particles which gives poorer air quality. Lastly, a high infiltration rate can reduce the function of the ventilation systems. TYPES OF ENTRANCE DOORS 1) Swinging Doors: are besides high air tightness during closed state, that they have a flexible operation and a high base security. 2) Sliding Doors: is that they high accessibility. Sliding doors also have a high capacity of the amount of people passing through the entrance which make them suitable for terminal buildings 3) Revolving Doors: is an entrance solution which can be preferred for both small and large volumes of people. The design of the wings can performed in various ways which makes it suitable for different buildings.

3.13 INFERENCES Thus the following thesis on ISBT will comprise of design keeping in mind the mandatory architectural requirements, i.e., barrier free environment, firefighting, rainwater harvesting, energy efficient and sustainability, proper orientation and user friendly.

CHAPTER 8. DESIGN CRITERIA CONCEPTS USED : 1. BIFURCATION OF PASSENGER SIDE AND TERMINAL SIDE • The terminal side and the passenger side needed to have a bifurcation so as to avoid over-crowding and confusion for the passengers moving by.

• The merging of both the sides can lead to congestion and traffic jam in the site itself.

2. MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY • The most preferable movements for terminals are linear or sequential movement as they go along the path. • Generally linear form • The bus bays are generally along the form of terminal building. 3. CONNECTIVITY • The inter connectivity of different modes of transport around, i.e., metro station, railway station. 4. VISIBILITY • For passengers waiting in the concourse building, there should a proper visibility towards the bus bays and the activities being done in the building for avoiding any kind of delay to buses. • The concept of visibility can be implemented while selecting the material for the building. For eg, glass can be better suitable for enhancing visibility throughout the building. 5. AESTHETICS • The use of glass in the building to allow visibility throughout the terminal can add an appropriate feature to the aesthetics of the building.
