NAME
SURNAME
One Earth is one of only five
buildings in India to be LEED rated
and the first in the state of
Maharashtra. It is also the only
building in India with the highest
ratings from LEED (Platinum rating
with 57 points which it obtained in
2010) and GRIHA (Five Star rating
with 96 points).
4. PASSIVE
DESIGN
STRATEGIES
Orientation: Facades of the building face
north, south, north-west and south-east.
100% shading by external louvers on
first and second floor.
Partly self-shading blocks.
Small terraces created in all blocks to
promote interaction with external
environment.

5. REDUCTION IN WATER
CONSUMPTION
● 65% reduction in building water consumption by use of
low-flow fixtures.
● 55% water recycled and reused within the complex.
● 50% reduction in landscape water consumption by
planting native species of trees and shrubs and by using
efficient irrigation systems.
● Potable water consumption for site irrigation purposes
has been reduced by 50% through high efficiency
irrigation technology, use of recycled site water, and
captured rainwater.
● 100% rainwater is harvested.
● 100% of grey water is recycled via on-site sewage
treatment plant into flushing, air-cooling and
landscaping systems.
● The landscape uses the concept of ‘pebble drain’ where
all the excess water from the hard surfaces on the
podium is drained onto a pebble drain. Drainage mats
have been used below all the soft landscape areas on
the podium to prevent soil erosion and to collect excess
water.

10. ANALYSIS
● 65% of energy is saved by use of LED outdoor light
systems in comparison to conventional scheme.
● All outdoors lights are controlled through integrated
building management systems. 30% to 40% reduction in
operating cost, due to energy savings and water savings at
30%.
● 8% of its annual energy generated on-site through
photovoltaic panels and windmills with a total incremental
cost of about 11%.
● 92% of the energy consumed is through the means of
sustainable energy, it is considered a Zero Energy Project.
