AIR-CONDITIONED AREA:- 9990.25 SQM
NON-AIR-CONDITIONED AREA:- 8917.51 SQM

ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCTION : 73% REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION
COMPARED TO GRIHA BENCHMARK
ENERGY PERFORMANCE INDEX (EPI) : 37.44 KWH/SQM/YEAR
RENEWABLE ENERGY : RATED CAPACITY OF SOLAR PV INSTALLED IS 40 KWP
GRIHA PROVISIONAL RATING : 5 STARS
The design is inspired by the school’s tagline: ‘An international education with
an Indian soul.’
The project brief was to increase the school’s intake from 650 to 1,300 pupils. The new

DESIGN CONSTRAINT
o The first step was to build a perimeter block on an unencumbered
area of the plot. Once built, this new construction became the
center of ongoing school activities. The now vacated old school
was then rebuilt to provide more classrooms, laboratories, gyms
and performing arts spaces.
o The design strategies focus on minimum reliance on mechanical
systems through planning. The building has reduced energy
consumption by 50% by using traditional passive methods to
temper the environment. These include perforated shading
screens and scaled courtyards with lush plantation.
o orientation of the classrooms, which face either north or south to
minimize exposure to the sun. The pattern of the perforated walls,
the landings running around the courts and the recessed terraces
facilitate air circulation through the building and create shaded
areas for ` to gather.
o Outdoor spaces have also been designed to make open-air
learning feasible in the New Delhi climate.As a result students can
study on the verandas or in the inner courts in the shade of ancient
trees that have been carefully preserved, coming into direct
contact with nature in a way that recalls the traditional chaupal, the
hub of village community life.
o Set on different levels, the staircases and platforms that articulate
the courts are both aesthetically pleasing and socially functional.
They also incorporate a visible rainwater harvesting system that
references an ancient means of storing monsoon rains for use
during the dry season.
