Lightweight prefab translucent layered polycarbonate Translucent walls and roof panels provide 100% protection
façade system from harmful UV rays

HIGH STRENGTH PREFAB FAÇADE AND SUPPORTING SYSTEM

Keeping adaptability & flexibility in mind, building blocks are designed with a lightweight prefab supporting system with translucent
layered polycarbonate façade system that reacts positively with the environment, such as daylight, air and temperature. The
recyclable polycarbonate system with translucent walls and roof panels is specified to block UV radiation and provide 100%
protection from harmful UV rays, while providing enough filtered daylight for interiors, reducing the need for artificial lighting
and reducing energy consumption by up to 60%. Its high strength makes it resistant to impact and fracture, and light weight
allows an efficient and easier installation and reconfiguration process, reducing overall transportation and reconfiguration
costs.
Through detailed energy modelling studies, the project’s energy cost savings have been determined on the basis of baseline
vs LED lighting power density, which results in energy savings of 92%.

The project recognizes the importance of public awareness in waste source segregation. By conducting mass awareness
programs, this project aims to instil discipline in citizens for waste segregation at the source. This not only enhances the
viability of waste processing units but also increases the degree of circularity in society. Improved waste segregation at
the source streamlines waste processing and reduces the operational challenges associated with unsegregated waste,
contributing to effective environmental governance.
