LDA progresses in Sharda Nagar affordable housing scheme: over 2000 units completed!
|
|
Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) started the first housing scheme for socially and economically weak- Sharda Nagar- as per Green and Energy Efficient Buildings guidelines developed by MAITREE. The guidelines prioritize design that enhances daylight, natural ventilation, and occupant thermal comfort. A total of 12,000 houses are to be constructed in Sharda Nagar. LDA will transfer learnings from Sharda Nagar to other housing schemes.

The SDB-1 (Software Development Block-1) at Infosys campus, Pocharam is a living experiment in low-energy cooling. Its two wings, identical in all respects, use a radiant cooling and a conventional VAV system. The radiant cooling system requires 75% lesser air than the VAV system and performs 30% better. Post-occupancy surveys have reported higher thermal comfort satisfaction in the radiant-cooled wing. The SDB-1 is also a smart, high-performance building that leverages a host of passive design strategies like daylighting, shading and proper orientation for reducing its electric loads. For example, blinds have not been installed in the office space because the windows are well-shaded, blocking any possible glare. Read more
