Net-zero energy Competition: Architecture at Zero 2020 | First Student Merit Award Type: Community Library Site: San Benito county, California, USA

Concept The proposal for San Benito County Free Library is an expression of barrier-free knowledge & education which should be accessible to all. Designed on the values of accessibility and porosity, the idea is to create an urban landmark that is welcoming to all and reflects the values of the people, blends with the existing, and yet gives an identity to the city of Hollister. Thus, the concept of ‘urban armature’ welcomes pedestrian movement through the site and aims to transform the static, mundane act of movement into more interactive and user-friendly ways. Hence, as a response to environmental parameters, space program, context, social, people, etc. the built form shapes up into a bold and orthogonal structure that manifests the values like self-reliance carving out community spaces that enhance the participation of society, promotes education and lifelong learning.

Net-zero energy-water Competition: Solar Decathlon India 2020-2021 | Runner-up Type: Office building Site: Gandhinagar, India Team: KillBill 4.0
Design Challenge
Business as usual 125 kWh/m2-yr
Envelope Optimization 95 kWh/m2-yr
Proposed design 45 kWh/m2-yr
Proposed System 45 kWh/m2-yr
The building requires 4 roofs to meet the energy generation
The building requires 3 roofs to meet the energy generation
The building requires 1.5 roofs to meet the energy generation
The building designed to accommodate the 0.5 roof area equivalent through Solar façade PV
Concept The core principle guiding our design decisions was to minimize the energy use of the building and maximize the possibilities for energy generation while providing the occupants with a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing built environment. Our building aims to redefine the usual glass boxes we have come to associate as office buildings, with our distinct efforts targeted at creating a contextual façade which performs well on aesthetics, occupant views, energy, as well as thermal aspects of the building.

Financial management
Total project cost comparison
In projects like these the issue of split incentives can be challenging, wherein the developer invests while the tenants’ benefit. The solutions require a nominal incremental cost towards energy-efficient solutions and reap long-term benefits to all. Life cycle cost analysis for a period of 25 years, for base case, compared to proposed case incurred incremental cost of 4.2 Cr towards energy conservation measures, to improve the occupant comfort and reduce energy consumption where the life cycle cost decreased by 6%.
