WATER MANAGEMENT

Root Zone Waste Water Treatment
RZWT consists planted filter beds containing gravel, sand
and soil . This system utilizes nature’s way of biologically
processing domestic effluents. Treated water can be used
for irrigation and flushing.

Rain Water Harvesting
Capturing rainwater can be a valuable way to reduce or
even eliminate a building’s use of municipal potable water,
without requiring reductions in water use by occupants.

USING THE GREEN BUILDING
Sustainable Material
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete blocks consisting of flyash,
cement and gypsum used for walls and pre-cast lintels.

Orientation
A buildings orientation is important to its overall energy SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS
efficiency, A correct oriented building can save a lot of Xeriscaping
money in no longer required heating and cooling costs Xeriscaping helps in creating a water conserving landscape by
expenditure. reducing on-site irrigation requirement which is maintained by
the use of native landscape

Low Voc Paint
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) contain chemicals
that has detrimental effects on human health. These Salvaged Bricks
problem can be eliminated by using low VOC paints. Salvaged bricks easily available from used building materials
and local constructions and used in making sitouts and pathways

Dry Waste Composter
The composter holds dry leaves and wet waste from the site
and converts this waste into manure naturally with span of 4-5
weeks. Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting in site premises is entirely based on
off-grid solar system.
Effective Waste Segregation
The waste generated by every house will be collected and
then separated into dry and wet waste. Wet waste will be
converted into manure which can also be put up for sale by
the society and the rest will be recycled.
