Future Projects
The management of PBC™-STIP is in the process of developing GreenSpaces™, which will be a United States Green Building Council (USGBC) certified Platinum rated 'Green building' and the world's most energy efficient commercial building.
GreenSpaces™ is an approved SEZ , Information Technology Park, with tax benefits, located only 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) from the Delhi - Faridabad border on National Highway 2, and is very close to both NOIDA & Gurgaon.
The Park will have a total covered area of 1.68 million square feet, out of which 0.86 million will be "business space" - targeted towards IT/ITES companies. The structure itself will be a LEEDİ certified "Green Building" - a first for an IT Park in India.
Our award winning engineers designed GreenSpaces™ adhering to rigorous parameters laid down by the LEED© rating for a Platinum-level building. Particular care was taken in the design for:
- Building Orientation and Landscape
- Emphasis on natural light
- Indoor Air Quality
- Energy Conservation and Alternative Energy
- Selection of building material
- Sewage treatment and recycling of water
- Rainwater harvesting
Four attributes associated with Green Building design - increased ventilation control, increased temperature control, increased lighting control and increased daylighting - have been positively and significantly correlated with increased productivity and reduced employee turnover in various studies.
Some benefits of a 'Green Building':
- Green buildings are designed to provide healthier and more enjoyable working environments. Workplace qualities that improve the environment of knowledge workers may also reduce stress and lead to longer lives for multidisciplinary teams.
- Significantly better lighting quality including daylight harvesting and use of shading, greater occupancy control over light levels and less glare.
- Improved thermal comfort and better ventilation. Better performance of systems such as ventilation, heating and air conditioning.
- LEED certified buildings utilize less toxic materials, low-emitting adhesives & sealants, paints, carpets, and composite woods, and indoor chemical & pollutant source control.
- Attracting and retaining the best employees can be linked to the quality of benefits that workers receive, including the physical, environmental and technological workplace.
- Green building activities result in reduction of operating costs by 25-30%.
- Green corporate image - positive public image through a commitment to healthy, environmentally responsible buildings.
