Sustainable Factory
OBJECTIVES
 Efficient management of energy and water resources
 Management of material resources and waste
 Restoration and protection of environmental quality
 Enhancement and protection of health and indoor
environmental quality
 Reinforcement of natural systems
 Analysis of the life cycle costs and benefits of
materials and methods
 Integration of the design decision-making process
Renewable Sources of Energy in Gujarat
 Wind power (capacity=3,187 MW)
 Solar power (capacity=856.81 MW)
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
 Adoption of materials and products in buildings and

construction that will require less use of natural resources
and increase the reusability of such materials.
 Sustainable construction also enhances the resilience of the
industry as such materials are readily available in the world
market.
 Steel, other metals, glass and prefabricated parts using
combinations of these, as well as recyclable substitutes for
concrete are examples of sustainable materials and
products.

materials) in the building, the main walls are
made of compressed stabilized-earth block
manufactured forty kilometres from the site.
The machine moulded blocks are made of
local soil, sand, and locally manufactured
cement. The large size of the blocks
minimizes mortar joints.
The walls require no plaster finish; they are
simply sealed with varnish on the interior
and exterior.
Polycarbonate sheets on roof.
Glass strips, running continuously across the
breadth of the roof at regular intervals.

Windows use imported plate glass and
aluminium frames.
Floor finishes include polished concrete
tile, rendered and cut concrete, tile, and wood.
Bamboo is used for window blinds and various
forms of sunscreen.
Nonhazardous finishes and materials are used
throughout the building, ensuring good indoor
air quality, which is enhanced by high airexchange rates.
Stabilizing plants, silt traps, and stormwatercollection ponds were used to prevent soil
erosion during construction.
Special mechanisms to recycle construction
waste, which reduced the amount of waste that
went into landfills.

In color-based applications such as exit
signs, niche applications such as outdoor
signage, task lamps.
Use of Day Light and Automatic Control
Light
 A mix of top- and

side-lighting, light
shelves, highreflectance ceilings.

 Automatically

Control Lighting.
LIGHTING
 Over time, all lighting systems become gradually less

efficient.
 Other efficiency losses include improperly functioning
controls, dirt accumulation on fixture lenses and lumen
depreciation.
How to control this ??
 Follow a strategic lighting maintenance plan of scheduled
group re lamping and fixture cleaning.
Indoor thermal comfort
 Cross- ventilation .
 Cooling is achieved at the plant primarily by passive design and

secondarily by active systems.
 Passive design measures include the orientation and massing of
building volumes, controlled fenestration and
ventilation, shading of the building and its surroundings, and
thermal mass and solar reflectivity of the facades and roofs.
 The massing of the building volumes and the positioning and
sizing of windows permit daylight to enter as natural
illumination without causing substantial heat gain
 Thermal roof load, the largest contributor to heat gain and
indoor discomfort in the tropics, is controlled by a combination
of photovoltaic roofs, and cool roofs.
IAQ(Indoor Air Quality)
 Production spaces and offices are ventilated and

cooled by evaporative cooling units. These units
draw in fresh air, filter it, and add moisture to lower
the dry-bulb temperature.
 Indoor air is not recirculated, but extracted by
suitably sized exhaust fans to ensure effective
moisture and heat removal.
 Humidistat in each cooling unit keep the indoor
relative humidity at or below 80 percent.
Window Heat Flow
Infiltration
Air leaks around the frame, around the sash, and through gaps in
movable window parts. Infiltration is foiled by careful design and
installation.
 Convection
Pockets of high-temperature, low-density gas rise, setting up a circular
movement pattern. Convection occurs within multiple-layer windows
and on either side of the window.
 Radiation
Radiation is energy that passes directly through air from a warmer
surface to a cooler one.
Radiation is controlled with low-emissivity films
or coatings.
 Conduction
Conduction occurs as adjacent molecules of gases or solids pass
thermal energy between them. Conduction is minimized by adding
layers to trap air spaces, and putting low-conductivity gases in those
spaces.

Window Films


Window films reduce heat gain due to solar
radiation and provide low cost cooling load
reduction.



Buildings in sunny areas can benefit from a variety
of shading techniques.



Bamboo sheet shade screens reduce heat gain up to
80 % compared to normal glass.
Fan System
 Centrifugal fans (A) are the most common fans

used.
 They are often cheaper but usually less efficient
than axial fans (B).
COOLING
 The heat-island effect around the building is controlled by

shading, by covering parking areas, by using lighter,
reflective paving around the building instead of dark, heat
absorbent paving, and by shading the courtyards between
the building volumes.
 The combination of the many passive cooling measures
reduces the thermal load to a level that can be handled by
environmentally efficient cooling systems instead of power
hungry conventional systems
