Lumen It is the unit of a total light output from a light source. If a lamp or fixture were surrounded by a transparent bubble, the total light flow through the bubble is measured in lumens. Lamps are rated in lumens, which is the total amount of light they emit, not their brightness and not the light level on a surface. Typical indoor lamps have light output ranging from 50 to 10,000 lumens. Lumen value is used for purchasing and comparing lamps and their outputs. Lumen output of a lamp is not related to the light distribution pattern of a lamp

Luminaries A complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or lamps together with the housing designed to distribute the light, position and protect the lamps, and connect the lamps to the power supply

Units of R are m2 .K/W (h.ft2.0F/Btu). For the perspective building envelope option, R-value is for the insulation alone and does not include building materials or air films

Reflectance The ration of the light reflected by a surface to the light incident upon it Shading coefficient (SC)

The ratio of solar heat gain at normal incidence through glazing to that occurring through 3mm (1/8 in) thick clear, double-strength glass. Shading coefficient, as used herein, does not include interior, exterior, or integral shading devices

Skylight roof ratio (SRR)

The ratio of the total skylight area of the roof, measured to the outside of the frame, to the gross exterior roof

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)

The ratio of the solar heat gain entering the space through the fenestration area to the incident solar radiation, typically ranging from 0.9 to 0.1, where lower values indicate lower solar gain. Solar heat gain includes directly transmitted solar heat and absorbed solar radiation, which is then reradiating, conducted, or converted into the space

Window Wall Ratio (WWR)

The ratio of vertical fenestration area to gross exterior wall area. Gross exterior wall area is measures horizontally from the exterior surface; it is measured vertically from the top of the floor to the bottom of the roof

Urban Heat Island Effect

An Urban Heat Island is a metropolitan urban area, which is significantly warmer than its surroundings. As population centres grow in size, they tend to have a corresponding increase in average temperature. Scientists refer to this phenomenon as the “Urban Heat Island Effect”. The two main causes of the urban heat island is modification of the land surface by urban development and waste heat generated by energy usage. One consequence of urban heat island is the increased energy required for air conditioning and refrigeration in cities that are in comparatively hot climates

Transferability of Environmental Clearance A prior Environmental Clearance granted for a specific project or activity to an applicant may be transferred during its validity to another legal person entitled to undertake the project or activity on application by the transferor or the transferee with a written “no objection” by the transferor, to, and by the regulatory authority concerned, on the same terms and conditions under which the prior environmental clearance was initially granted, and for the same validity period. Criteria for EIA consultants The MoEF, GoI had stipulated certain criteria for EIA consultants as per the Ministry’s office memorandum dated 2nd December 2009 and amended from time to time. The same are kept in the public domain of Ministry’s website (www.envfor.nic.in). Accordingly, the EIA consultants shall have accreditation with Quality Control of India (QCI)/National Accreditation Board of Education and Training (NABET). The consultants shall include in the EIA report, copy of the accreditation certificate and that provided by the other organizations/laboratories including their status of approvals etc. The MoEF is not considering the EIA reports prepared by the consultants who are not registered with NABET/QCI. Authorized Signatory All correspondence with the regulatory authority including submission of application for TOR/Environmental Clearance, subsequent clarifications, as may be required from time to time, participation in the EAC Meeting on behalf of the project proponent shall be made by the authorized signatory only. The authorized signatory shall also submit a document in support of his claim of being an authorized signatory for the specific project (EIA amendment Notification dated 1st December 2009). Participation of the project proponent during the EAC meetings As per the office memorandum dated 25th February 2010 of MoEF, the authorized representative of the project proponent shall only attend the EAC meetings. The authorized representative of the project proponent should be a reasonably senior officer / executive duly authorized in writing. In case, a consultant is to be nominated as the authorized representative, it should be through a irrevocable power of attorney executed and formally registered with the Sub-Registrar concerned. A copy of the authorization / registered power of attorney, as the case may be should be submitted to the ministry for record. The authorized representative, so nominated should only participate in the SEAC meetings on behalf of the project proponent. The consultant (s) and other experts may, however, assist the authorized representative during the meeting. In the absence of the authorized representative, the proposal will not be considered by the SEAC. Projects requiring recommendation of the Chief Wildlife Warden If the project is located within 10 km radial distance from the national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, migratory corridors of wild animals, the project proponent shall submit

CHAPTER 5

Page 43: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 34 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction Projects

5.2 Guidelines for the Project Developer

The project developer is advised to refer to the following documents:

• EIA guidance manual for Building construction, Townships and Area Development of Ministry of Environment & Forest, Government of India

• National Building Code of India 2005 • Development Control Rules – Town and Country Planning • Energy Conservation Building Code 2007 (www.bee-india.nic.in) • Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) – User Guide, July 2009 (www.bee-

india.nic.in) • Rating systems for water efficient fixtures – A way to sustainable water management in

India (Center for Science and Environment, New Delhi) • User’s handbook on solar water heaters (www.mnre.gov.in) Design layout - to explore the following depending on the site conditions / requirements • Dual plumbing arrangements • Area allotted for Sewage Treatment plant • Provision to connect to city sewer system • Parking requirement should meet the local body requirements and NBC 2005 • Area for green belt and lawns • Provision to tap the roof water • Provision for rain water harvesting structure • Provisions as per the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) • Procurement of equipments with energy labeling

Estimation of water demand Proper care should be taken in estimating the peak water requirements and reliable source. The water requirements for different types of buildings should be estimated as given in Annexure 12 Estimation of adequate parking requirement The requirements should be assessed in a very realistic way by considering the diverse activities proposed in the project, location aspects and socio – economic levels of the expected users. Parking retirements as per the National Building Code of India, 2005 is given at Annexure 13. As per the MoEF requirements, a minimum of one car parking provision for a two bedroom apartment and two parking provisions for a three bedroom with 10% extra for visitors shall be provided. The adequacy of the access road to the project and free flow of traffic should be assessed.

Page 44: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

 

Good Practices

6.0 Water Conservation In view of critical shortage of water, conservation of water by rainwater harvesting and by use of recycled water to the maximum extent possible should be explored. In this regard the following provisions may be explored: • Provision for water conservation fixtures • Provision for water meter to monitor the consumption of water • Provision for dual plumbing systems • Provision to use treated waste water for cooling makeup purpose to conserve fresh

water consumption • Provision for collection of rainwater from rooftops and terraces and direct the same

either to a storage tank or to a recharging well 6.1 Parking Spaces Parking space provided for vehicles • For car, the minimum parking space to be 3m X 6m when individual parking space is

required and 2.75m X 5m when common parking space is required • Space for scooter/two wheeler and bicycle to be not less than 1.25 m2 and 1.00 m2

respectively • Area for each equivalent car space inclusive of circulation area is 23 m2 for open parking,

28 m2 for ground floor covered parking and 32 m2 for basement (Source: National Building Code of India, 2005) 6.2 Dual plumbing system and grey water treatment • Water from toilets is called black water (Sewage), while water from laundry, kitchens,

and baths is called grey water (sullage). • Grey water constitutes 70% of the wastewater, which can be treated by using simple and

cost-effective systems and can be reused for landscaping, external washing, and toilet flushing. Reusing grey water can reduce the dependence on municipal and bore water by up to 60%.

• Dual plumbing system separates grey water and black water at the source of generation, following which specific treatment options either for grey or black water can be adopted.

• Separating grey water and treating it onsite for reuse reduces the volume of the wastewater to be collected and treated and, hence, reduces the stress of public sewage lines and centralized wastewater treatment systems.

CHAPTER 6

Page 45: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 36 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction Projects

6.3 Location of the Septic Tanks A sub-soil dispersion system shall not be closer than 18m from any source of drinking water, such as well, to mitigate the possibility of bacterial pollution of water supply. It shall also be as far removed from the nearest habitable building as economically feasible but not closer than 6m, to avoid damage to the structures. Under no circumstances shall effluent from a septic tank be allowed into an open channel drain or body of water without adequate treatment. 6.4 Energy Labeling Programme The energy-labeling program offers significant benefits to the consumers. It enables consumers to reduce their monthly energy bills while using Air Conditioners and provides information on energy use. There is wide variation in energy consumption of different makes of Air conditioners. This led to the continuous availability of inefficient Air conditioners in the market and purchase by consumers, leading to waste of precious and costly energy. The energy-labeling program sets out to correct this situation in the India Air conditioner market. BEE has prescribed minimum efficiency performance standards and the appliances are rated on the basis of energy efficiency indicated by suitable number of stars on the nameplate label. The no. of stars can vary from 1 to 5. Higher stars indicate higher energy efficiency and more energy bill savings for the customers Energy labeling program is mandatory from January 2010 for the following products: • Frost-free Refrigerators • Room Air Conditioners • TFL • Distribution Transformers 6.5 Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 (52 of 2001) empowers the Central Government under Section 14(p) read with Section 56(2)(1) to prescribe Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). The code defines norms and standards for the energy performance of building and their components based on the climate zone in which they are located. In May 2007, the Ministry of Power, Government of India formally launched the ECBC for its voluntary adoption in the country. The code is applicable to buildings or building complexes that have a connected load of 500 kW or greater or a contract demand of 600 KVA or greater. Generally, buildings or complexes having conditioned area of 1,000 m2 or more will fall under this category. The code is presently under voluntary adoption in the country. The code would become mandatory as and when it is notified by the Central and State government in the official Gazette under clause (p) of 14 or clause (a) of 15 of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 (52 of 2001) The provisions of the Code apply to: • Building envelops, except for unconditioned storage or warehouses

Page 46: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board                                                                                               37 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction 

• Mechanical systems and equipment, including heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)

• Service hot water heating • Interior and exterior lighting • Electric power and motors 6.6 ECBC User Guide 2009 The purpose of Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) is to provide minimum requirements for energy-efficient deign and construction of buildings and their systems. The building sector represents about 33%of electricity consumption in India, with commercial sector and residential sector accounting for 8% and 25% respectively. Estimates based on computer simulation models indicate that ECBC- complaint buildings can use 40 to 50% less energy than conventional buildings. It is estimated that the nationwide mandatory enforcement of the ECBC will yield annual savings of approximately 1.7 billion kWh. The ECBC is expected to overcome market barriers, which otherwise result in under-investment in building energy efficiency. The ECBC User Guide provides detailed guidance to building owners, designers, engineers, builders, energy consultants, and other on how to comply with the code. It provides expanded interpretation, examples, and supplementary information to assist in applying ECBC during the design and construction of new buildings as well as additions and alteration to existing buildings. This guide can also be used as a document by “authorities having jurisdiction” in the enforcement of the code once it is made mandatory. The guide follows the nomenclature of the code. It is written both as a reference and as an instructional guide, and can be helpful for anyone who is directly or indirectly involved in the design and construction of ECBC-complaint buildings 6.7 BEE Star Rating for Office Buildings Energy audit studies in buildings have shown large potential for energy savings both in government and commercial office buildings. Study of the available data has shown that there is an urgent need for improved energy efficiency of buildings. National commercial energy benchmarking initiative was taken up with a goal to establish a framework to standardize energy data collection, baseline setting for “typical” commercial buildings, energy performance target setting and monitoring, and use the information to improve energy efficiency in buildings. This information can help the users and other stakeholders to evaluate building energy efficiency and track improvements compared to other buildings and recognize the top performers. The Star Rating Program for buildings would create a demand in the market for energy efficient buildings based on actual performance of the building in terms of specific energy usage. This programme would rate office building on a 1-5 Star scale with 5 Star labeled buildings being the most efficient. Five categories of buildings – office buildings, hotels, hospitals, retail malls, and IT Parks in five climate zones in the country have been identified for this programme. Initially, the

Page 47: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 38 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction Projects

programme targets the following 3 climatic zones for air-conditioned and non-air conditioned office buildings: • Warm and Humid • Composite • Hot and Dry To apply for rating of office buildings, BEE developed standardized formats for collection of actual energy consumption: data required includes building’s built up area, conditioned and non-conditioned area, type of building, hours of operation of the building in a day, climatic zone in which building is located, and other related information of the facility. 6.8 Cool Roofs Depending on the material and construction, a roof will have different properties that determine how it conducts heat to the inside of the building. “Cool Roofs” are roofs covered with a reflective coating that has a high emissivity property that is very effective in reflecting the sun’s energy way from the roof surface. These “cool roofs” are known to stay 100C to 160C cooler than a normal roof under a hot summer sun; this quality greatly reduces heat gain inside the building and the cooling load that needs to be met by the HVAC system (Source: Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC -User Guide, 2009) 6.9 Good Practices in Design and Construction • Longer dimensions of buildings should face north and south (with a maximum deviation

of 50 off north) and shorter dimensions should face east and west. In multistoried apartments, the sides having openings should face either north or south

• A building designed according to solar path remains comparatively cool in summers and warm in winters, thus obviating the need for artificial heating or cooling

• For external lighting, 50% - 100% of outdoor lighting should be based on solar photovoltaic alone or in combination with other renewable sources of energy such as biomass

• The switches used for outdoor lighting generally do not take seasonal variation or a timer should be used that is sensitive to seasonal variations and adjusts on the basis of actual length of day/night

• Solar passive buildings are designed to provide thermal and visual comfort by using natural energy sources and sinks like solar radiation, outside air, wet surfaces, vegetation and so on. The solar passive buildings have potential to reduce energy demand by 5% - 20%

• Roof is the largest source of heat gain, especially in low-rise buildings. Hence, proper treatment of roof is necessary to reduce heat gains during daytime. Treatment of roofs provides comfort levels and reduces cooling loads inside a building. Thermally insulating the roof reduces the U-value (thermal conductivity) for the roof section. All exposed roof shall have a maximum U-factor of 0.261 W/m2 0C or a minimum R-value (the measure of its resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the more the material insulates. It is the reciprocal of U-factor) of 3.5 m2 0C/W

• All heating and cooling equipment should meet the minimum efficiency requirements, as specified in the ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code), 2007

Page 48: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board                                                                                               39 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction 

• Solar water heating system should be explored. A solar water heater uses the energy from sun to heat water, which is used for different applications such as bathing, washing, cooking. The overall potential of solar water heating in India is estimated as 140 million sq.meters and about 1 million sq.meters of solar collector area has been realized

• Water saving fittings should be planned. An old single – flush toilet could use up to 12 liters of water per flush, while a standard dual-flush toilet uses just a quarter of this on a half-flush

• Use of electronic flushing system or magic eye sensor can further reduce the flow of water to 0.4 liter per flush, and waterless urinals use no water

• A standard showerhead may use up to 25 litres of water per minute, whereas water-efficient showerhead might use as little as 7 litres of water per minute which is less than a third of that consumed by standard showerhead

• Grey water after treatment should be explored for landscaping purpose in order to conserve fresh water intake. If no grey water or waste water treatment is undertaken on the site, the total landscape water requirement per annum should not exceed the total amount of rainwater colleted per annum

• Water demand in landscape should be reduced by planting native and low water consuming plants

• Providing dual plumbing system for separating wastewater and grey water and for using treated grey water should be explored. A wastewater treatment system should be provided only where sewerage network with STP is not available. In all the cases grey water recycling should be explored

• Construction and demolition waste management plan should be drawn • Waste should be segregated in to biodegradable and non bio- degradable and proper

disposal plan should be prepared. All recyclables should be sent to recycling units. Should explore composting, vermin composting etc., to dispose biodegradable waste

• Re-use of swimming pool discharge water for toilet flushing purpose etc.

Annexure - 11 Noise Limits for Generator Sets run with Diesel

1. Noise limit for diesel generator sets (up to 1000 KVA) manufacture on or after the 1st July 2003 The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator (DG) sets with rated capacity up to 1000 KVA, manufactured on or after the 1st July, 2003 shall be 75 dB (A) at 1 meter from the enclosure surface The diesel generator sets should be provided with integral acoustic enclosure at the manufacturing stage itself The implementation of noise limit for these diesel generator sets shall be regulated as given in paragraph 3 below 2. Noise limit for DG sets not covered by paragraph 1 Noise limits for diesel generator sets not covered by paragraph 1, shall be as follows: 2.1 Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by treating the room acoustically, at the users end 2.2 The acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room shall be designed for minimum 25 dB (A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the higher side (if the actual ambient noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the performance of the acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment. Under such circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction up to actual ambient noise level, preferably, in the nighttime). The measurement for insertion loss may be done at different points at 0.5m from the acoustic enclosure/room, and then averaged 2.3 The DG set shall be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A) 2.4 these limits shall be regulated by the State Pollution Control Boards and the State Pollution Control Committees 2.5 Guidelines for the manufacturers/users of Diesel Generator sets shall be as under:

01 The manufacturer shall offer to the user a standard acoustic enclosure of 25 dB (A) insertion loss and also a suitable exhaust muffler with insertion loss of 25 dB(A) 02 The user shall make efforts to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set; outside hid premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control measures 03 Installation of a DG set must be strictly in compliance with the recommendations of the DG set manufacturer

Annexure - 15 Rain Water Harvesting Structures

Rainwater available from rooftops of buildings, paved and unpaved areas goes waste. This water can be recharged to aquifer and can be utilized gainfully at the time of need. The rainwater harvesting system needs to be designed in a way that it does not occupy large space for collection and recharge system. A few techniques of roof top rainwater harvesting in urban areas are described below. Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting Through Recharge Pit • In alluvial areas where permeable rocks are exposed on the land surface or at very

shallow depth, roof top rainwater harvesting can be done through recharge pits. • The technique is suitable for buildings having a roof area of 100 sq.m. and are

constructed for recharging the shallow aquifers. • Recharge Pits may be of any shape and size and are generally constructed 1.0 to 2.0 m.

wide and 2.0 to 3.0 deep, which are back filled with boulders (5 - 20 cm), gravels (5 – 10 mm) and coarse sand (1.5 - 2.0 mm) in graded form. Boulders at the bottom, gravels in between and coarse sand at the top so that the silt content that will come with runoff will be deposited on the top of the coarse sand layer and can easily be removed. For smaller roof area, pit may be filled with broken bricks/ cobbles.

• A mesh should be provided at the roof so that leaves or any other solid waste / debris is prevented from entering the pit and a desilting /collection chamber may also be provided at the ground to arrest the flow of finer particles to the recharge pit.

• The top layer of sand should be cleaned periodically to maintain the recharge rate. • By-pass arrangement be provided before the collection chamber to reject the first

showers.

Page 87: Buidling&Construction _fianl Reort _Sep2011

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 78 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction Projects

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting Through Recharge Trench • Recharge trenches are suitable for buildings having roof area of 200-300 sq. m. and

where a permeable stratum is available at shallow depths • Trench may be 0.5 to 1.0 m wide, 1.0 to 1.5 m deep and 10 to 20 m. long depending upon

availability of water to be recharge • These are back filled with boulders (5-20cm), gravel (5-10 mm) and coarse sand (1.5-2.0

mm) in graded form – boulders at the bottom, gravel in between and coarse sand at the top so that the silt content that will come with runoff will be coarse sand at the top of the sand layer and can easily be removed

• A mesh should be provided at the roof so that leaves or any other solid waste/debris is prevented from entering the trenches and a desilting/collection chamber may also be provided on ground to arrest the flow of finer particles to the trench

• By-pass arrangement be provided before the collection chamber to reject the first showers

• The top layer of sand should be cleaned periodically to maintain the recharge rate

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board                                                                                               79 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction 

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting Through Existing Tube wells • In areas where the shallow aquifers have dried up and existing tube wells are tapping

deeper aquifer, roof to rain water harvesting through existing tube well can be adopted to recharge the deeper aquifers

• PVC pipes of 10 cm dia are connected to roof drains to collect rainwater. The first roof runoff is let off through the bottom of drainpipe. After closing the bottom pipe, the rainwater of subsequent rain showers is taken through a T to an online PVC filter. The filter may be provided before water enters the tube wells. The filter is 1 –1.2 m. in length and is made up of PVC pipe. It’s diameter should vary depending on the area of roof, 15 cm if roof area is less than 150 sq m and 20 cm if the roof area is more. The filter is provided with a reducer of 6.25 cm on both the sides. Filter is divided into three chambers by PVC screens so that filter material is not mixed up. The first chamber is filled up with gravel (6-10mm), middle chamber with pebbles (12-20 mm) and last chamber with bigger pebbles (20-40 mm)

• If the roof area is more, a filter pit may be provided. Rainwater from roofs is taken to collection/desilting chambers located on ground. These collection chambers are interconnected as well as connected to the filter pit through pipes having a slop of 1:15. The filter pit may vary in shape and size depending upon available runoff and are back-filled with graded material, boulder at the bottom, gravel in the middle and sand at the top with varying thickness (0.30- 0.50m) and may be separated by screen. The pit is divided into two chambers, filter material in one chamber and other chamber is kept empty to accommodate excess filtered water and to monitor the quality of filtered water. A connecting pipe with recharge well is provided at the bottom of the pit for recharging of filtered water through well

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 80 Environmental Guidance Manual – Building & Construction Projects

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting Through Trench With Recharge Well • In areas where the surface soil is impervious and large quantities of roof water or surface

runoff is available within a very short period of heavy rainfall, the use of trench/ pits is made to store the water in a filter media and subsequently recharge to ground water through specially constructed recharge wells

• This techniques is ideally suited for area where permeable horizon is within 3m below ground level

• Recharge well of 100-300 diameter is constructed to a depth of at least 3.0 to 5.0 m below the water level. Based on the lithology of the area well assembly is designed with slotted pipe against the shallow and deeper aquifer

• A lateral trench of 1.5-to 3.0 m width and 10 to 30 m length, depending upon the availability of water is constructed with the recharge well in the centre

• The number of recharge wells in the trench can be decided on the basis of water availability and local vertical permeability of the rocks

• The trench is backfilled with boulders, gravels and coarse sand to act as a filter media for the recharge wells

• If the aquifer is available at greater depth say more than 20 m, a shallow shaft of 2.0 to 5.0 m diameter and 3.0 –5.0 meters deep may be constructed depending upon availability of runoff. Inside the shaft a recharge well of 100-300 mm dia is constructed for recharging the available water to the deeper aquifers. At the bottom of the shaft a filter media is provided to avoid choking of recharge well
