i) Office area requirement divided into two parts ;

public space is calculated as (individual space + no. of

people) + circulation space (generally 15%)

Non public space (e.g. machine room, equipment room

depending upon equipment size) + circulation space

ii) The space requirement of employees depend upon various factors like

type of work, use of equipments & degree of privacy no of visitors

etc.

iii) Calculation of space requirement for workstation is as

follows

work room, min 8.0m2 - 10m2 of floor area

free circulation space ,min 1.5 m2 per employee, but not

less than 1m.

PRIVATE OFFICE ANALYSIS

The design of the private office requires a Knowledge of the basic

dimensional requirements and clearances of the executive workstation and,

where applicable, of visitor seating Accommodations

Various space areas of private offices are

1. office employee 4.5 m2

2. secretary 6.7 m2

3. manager 9.3 m2

4. director 13.4 m2

5. assistant vice president 18.5 m2

6. vice president 28.0 m2

GENERAL OFFICE AND MULTIPLE WORKSTATION

The design of the general office, like the design of the private office,

requires a knowledge of the basic dimensional requirements and

clearances of the workstation and, where applicable, of the visitor

seating to be accommodated.

The multiple requires understanding the anthropometric considerations

for the planning and design of the general office . The work task zone

must be large enough to accommodate the paperwork, equipment, and

other accessories that support the user.

In no case should this distance be

less than the 30 in, or 76 .2 cm,

needed to provide adequate space

for the chair clearance zone .

The visitor seating zone, ranging

in depth from 30 to 42 in, or 76 .2 to

106 .7 cm, requires the designer to

accommodate both the buttock-knee

and buttock-toe length body dimensions of the larger user.

14

Minimum space of work

zone is 3.3m2

RECEPTION AREA

Proper design of the reception area is critical in communicating an

organization's desired corporate image. Reception spaces are both the first

and last areas with which the visitor interacts and, accordingly, have

considerable visual impact in communicating

that image.

The reception space look attractive, but it must function properly as well The two

most important planning elements in this regard are the visitor's seating area and

the receptionist's workstation or Desk .

CONFERENCE HALL

Conference hall is important part of office which is required to conduct

meetings.

Conference hall consist of different shapes of tables , arrangements and

area according to the numbers of persons to be seated.

EXHIBITION AREA

AUDITORIUM

An auditorium is important area for performing art the aim is to serve the

audiences.

Design Considerations

Layout per applicable building and life safety codes, regulations, and

ordinances .

Allow sufficient distance between aisles for desired quantity and size of

chairs plus end space.

Space rows to allow for proper seat to back clear space..

Allow 1" minimum clearance from either side or rear of chair to any

adjacent side wall, end walls, etc.

Provide adequate sightlines for either sloping or stepped (riser) floor

configurations.

Seating area should be free of obstructions .

To allow for sufficient aisle illumination : Aisle lights are generally located

in the end panel standards at least every other row. Locate aisle light

junction box 6" from the standard .

Provide adequate floor or riser materials for sound anchorage.

Seating capacity

The maximum capacity depend upon the format selected and limitation by

the production. other factor that influence are levels, slightness acoustic

circulation etc.

Size of auditorium

An area of at least 0.5 m2 per spectator is applied. this is derived from seat

width x row spacing of

at least .45m2 per seat + additional

space 0.05m2 per seat.

Length of row

A maximum of 16 seats per aisle.25 seat is

permissible in aisle if one side exit door of

1m width is provided.

Proportion of auditorium

These are obtained by the spectator perception and good viewing angle.

a) Good view without head movement, but slight eye

movement of about 30

b) Good view with slight head movement and slight eye

movement approx. 60

c) Maximum perception angle without head movement.

is about 110.

Exit ,escape routes

(min 0.8m)

Seat width

Min. width is .45m to .6m

Angle A:

Shifting position to look between

heads in row immediately in front of

spectator and over all other heads.

Angle 8:

Shifting position to look between

heads of two rows immediately in

front of spectators and over all other heads.

RULE of THUMB for SEATING AREA :Allow 0.5m2 per Seat, including Aisles and Cross-over. This is

sufficiently accurate for preliminary planning.

ACOUSTICAL TREATEMENT

The minimum standard of sound reduction likely to be required in an

auditorium in a city to protect it against external noise is of the order of 65 dB.

This reduction should be provided on all sides, but

it would be reasonable to make the roof insulation

5-10 dB less provided the building is not unduly exposed to noise from

aircraft in-flight. Surrounding the auditorium with ancillary rooms and foyers is

an obvious and invaluable planning method of obtain the required insulation

against outdoor noise.

The insulation of the internal walls should be adequate to protect the auditorium

from these noise sources and the insulation should not be by-passed by

openings, doorways, etc.

The adequate absorbing surfaces should be provided in the hall to control the

reverberation.

Such areas include rear walls, balcony parapet, concave surfaces etc.

Porous material are used for absorbing the sound .such materials are quilts, wool,

gypsum board etc.

EXHIBITION AREA

Art galleries/exhibition area are used for collecting and displaying of

various forms of material evidence.

Nowadays they are considered as a cultural centre'.

The normal human angle of vision starts 27 up from eye level.

For the standing viewer this means that well lit pictures should be hung

10m away with the top not more than 4.9m above the eye level and the

bottom about 70 cm below.

It is necessary to allow 3.5m2 hanging surface per picture, 6-10m2

ground surface per sculpture and 1m2 cabinet space.

Favored viewing space is between 30 to 60 up measured from the point

in the middle of the floor.

Sill height of 2.13 m for pictures and a viewing range of 3.0 3.65 m

for sculpture.

To eat comfortably one person require a table area of around 20 wide

and 14 deep. This provide sufficient clearance space for adjacent

dinner.

Round table or table for six or eight people diameter 0f 30 40 are

ideal for 4 persons and can also take one or more dinners.

The best utilization of space can

often be arrived at through the

use of templates or scaled models .

BARS

The distance between bar and back bar should allow adequate workspace . A

minimum of 36 in, or 90 cm, should provide space for one bartender to

serve and another to circulate behind . A one-bartender operation would

require a 30-in, or 75-cm, clearance .

A 12-in, or 30-cm wide stool on 24-in, or 61-cm, centers,

which is quite common, will allow only less than 5 percent of male users

access to the stool without disturbing the next patron, while a 30-in, or 75-

A major consideration in the design of any parking

area is simplicity . The three basic dimensions of

any parking layout are: (1) the length and width of

car stalls, (2) the width of aisles, and (3) the angle

between car stall and aisle. Aisle width is related to

stall width and angle of stalls.

VARIOUS CONSIDERATION.Various consideration kept in mind for designing energy efficient

Building are-

i) Building should be designed and orient according to solar path and wind

direction.

ii) Maximum glazing on north. While recessed windows or shading

devices on east or west side of building.

iii) Provide soft landscape around building and avoid high reflective

road. The external open spaces grass pavers and plants around the

perimeter of the building to reduce glare inside.

iv) Central ,open spaces landscape courtyard that will contribute towards

keeping the building cool during the summer months.

v) Thick vegetation around the building forms good buffer and help to keep

the surrounding shaded and cool the hot winds.

vi) Light colored surface finish should be used.

vii) Use of renewable resources in the form solar panels, solar heaters to

minimize load to non renewable resources.

viii) Terrace garden or use of creepers on the roof to have insulate property

and minimize the heat gain.

Architects can achieve energy efficiency in the buildings they design by

studying the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic

architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking

advantage of the desirable conditions. Some common design elements

that directly Nor indirectly affects thermal comfort conditions and

thereby the energy

consumption in a building are

(e) building envelope and fenestration.

Landscaping

Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place.

Proper landscaping reduces direct sun from striking and heating up of

building surfaces.

Landscaping creates different airflow patterns and can be used to direct or

divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference.

Additionally, the shade created by trees and the effect of grass and

shrubs reduce air temperatures adjoining the building and provide

evaporative cooling.

Courtyard effects

Courtyard plays important role in energy efficient buildings as .

at night, the warm roof surfaces get cooled by convection and radiation If

the roof surfaces are sloped towards the internal courtyard, the cooled air

sinks into the court and enters the living space through low-level openings,

gets warmed up, and leaves through higher-level openings. However, care

should be taken that the courtyard does not receive intense solar radiation,

which would lead to conduction and radiation heat gains into the building.

Intensive solar radiation in the courtyard also produces immense glare.

Buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious

environmental problems because of excessive consumption of

energy and other natural resources.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILDING

Energy efficiency can be achieved in the buildings by Studying and

designing the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic

architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking

advantage of the desirable conditions.

Orientation

The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of

prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the south/ south-

east during summer

East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be

possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by

specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.

Materials and construction techniques

Choice of building materials is very imp in

reducing the energy content of buildings.

Reducing the strain on conventional

energy can be achieved by low-energy bldg

With low-energy materials, efficient

structure Design reducing the quantities

of high-energy building materials and

transportation energy. Depending on

the climatic needs proper roof treatment

is very essential.

Finishes

The external finish of a surface determines the amount of heat absorbed

or reflected by it. For example, a smooth and light color surface reflects

more light and heat in comparison to a dark color surface. Lighter color

surfaces have higher emissive and should be ideally used for warm climate.

Hence there is need to adopt various energy efficient techniques in the

building

Use renewable energy systems (solar photovoltaic systems/ solar

water heating systems) to meet a part of building load

Use low energy materials and methods of construction and reduce

transportation energy An architect also should aim at efficient structural

design, reduction of use of high energy building material (glass, steel etc.)

and transportation energy and use of low energy buildings materials.

N

S

Building orientation is a significant design consideration,

mainly with regard to solar radiation and wind.

With careful design, shading and deflecting devices can be incorporated to

exclude the sun or redirect it into the building, just as wind can be diverted or

directed to the extend

desired.

The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of

prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the north/ north-west

during summer

East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be

possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by

specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.

Planting deciduous trees on the southern side of a building is beneficial in a

composite climate. Deciduous plants such as these trees shed leaves in winter,

they allow the sun to heat the buildings in winter.

Wind breaks are provided in the north and north-east to protect from the winter

winds.

Central open space or courtyard is most pleasant space because it exclude the

winds and trap the sun. it may be covered with pergola or deciduous creepers.

CONCEPT

Since the building is located in an I.T sector of mohali, it demands tofulfill all the newest design concepts and services to be incorporated.

The site is flat but very rectangular in shape, which makes it difficultto use the site in its best possible way. Keeping this in mind the

complex has been designed with linkage of several buildings with

diverse shapes and heights through out the site, giving an interesting

skyline to the frontage of the site.

The back side of side consists of residences which are not disturbedby the tall buildings of the complex, instead it provides a view of the

blend of open spaces with water bodies and green areas with the

complex shapes of the structures, giving an urban eco friendly

environment to the locality.

The arrangement of the buildings has been done in such a way that itprovides with a central piazza with fountains and green area, this

area is shaded with a tall building on the south cutting the hot sun of

summers, giving a cool environment to the complex.

The orientation of the buildings could not be kept north-south due toless depth of the site, but this fault has been covered by using bri-

soliel (exterior louver shaped projections), letting in the north light

and cutting the high altitude summer sun.

The overall concept of the design is that the building is a perfectblend of natural environment with urban environment, fulfilling the

requirements of the present era, where there is less space and more

of amenities to be provided.
