    The Punjab Energy Development Agency office building in Chandigarh, India achieves energy efficiency through its design that utilizes solar geometry. Elements like solar shells, a shell roof, and photovoltaic panels allow daylighting and passive heating/cooling. Orientation and insulation minimize solar heat gain. At 14 kWh/m2/year, it has India's lowest energy performance index and a five-star efficiency rating. Its architecture evolved in response to the sun's movement for sustainable performance.

     Address : 33D, Sector 33, Chandigarh

     Climate : composite

     operational schedule :– 15 hours, 6 working days in a


    week

     Total Build-up area: 7000 sq. m

     Function: Office Building

     Architect : Ar. Arvind Krishan


    Designing sustainable buildings in a composite climate is a challenge. The techniques
    that are effective during summers do not work in winters. But a building in Chandigarh
    has achieved this. More than 10 years ago, the Punjab Energy Development Agency
    (PEDA) decided to construct an office building that utilises the movement of the sun for
    lighting, cooling and heating.
    The Rs 5.5 crore building, a pilot, was ready in 2004. Six years later, the Bureau of Energy
    Efficiency (BEE) awarded it a five-star rating, the highest grade of energy efficiency.
    Monuments like the Red Fort in Delhi were designed using these techniques. The PEDA
    office has an energy performance index (EPI) of 14 kWh/m2/year (the lowest in the
    country) in the category of non-air-conditioned buildings.

    According to the PEDA building’s architect, Arvind Krishan, unlike conventional


    buildings, the office’s design is in accordance with the external envelope, which he calls
    solar envelope.
    This envelope refers to the features and materials used in the building’s skin that makes it
    responsive to varying weather conditions. The internal structure has floating slabs which
    help in air circulation. The building is oriented in the north-south direction, minimising
    solar exposure on the western and eastern facades. Although a building’s southern facade
    can be shaded, the western façade remains exposed to the setting sun and cannot be
    shaded, he explains.
    A simulation-based study by the University of Nottingham in the UK says the PEDA
    building functions successfully as a passive solar complex.

    electricity requirement is provided by the panels. The
    panels are placed on the roof of the atrium,
    in between two sheets of toughened glass. This helps

    1. WALLS

    They are made of two layers of bricks with a


    5 cm air gap in between. In southern and
    western façades, insulation (consisting of 60
    cm by 60 cm panels of 5 cm thick rock wool
    wrapped in polyurethane sheets) has been
    placed between the layers of bricks in
    addition to the air gap. This is done to
    reduce the amount of heat transferred from
    the outside to the inside through the walls.
    The combination of a brick wall with air gap
    reduces heat transfer by 50 per cent as
    compared to a conventional brick wall. If
    insulation is added along with the air gap,
    the heat transfer decreases by 85 per cent.
    2. ROOF

    As maximum heat gain is through the roof, a


    rockwool-and-polyurethane insulation at an
    air gap of 5 cm from the concrete slab has
    been placed. Top layer is made of mud
    phuska and brick tiles for further heat-
    proofing.
    3. SOLAR SHELLS

    These concrete domed structures on the


    southwestern façade are one of the well-
    recognised innovations of this project. The
    domes have horizontal and vertical
    intersecting fins with glass fixed in the
    voids. These voids allow natural light with
    reduced glare. The shading action of the fins
    allows indirect sunshine to enter the
    building in summers and direct sunshine in
    winters

    4. SHELL ROOFING

    A portion of the roof of the atrium (open


    space in the centre of the building) is
    covered by a lightweight shell roofing. The
    roofing consists of 10 cm of high-density
    EPS (extruded polystyrene) sandwiched
    between high-grade FRP (fibre-reinforced
    plastic) sheets reinforced with steel.

    In summer the sun is almost overhead at


    noon while in winter it is at a lower angle.
    Keeping this in mind, the shell roof is
    angled in such a manner that the opening
    beneath the shell is shaded from the
    summer sun but allows the winter sun to
    penetrate.

    photovoltaic plant in the building. More
    than half of the building’s electricity
    requirement is provided by the panels. The
    panels are placed on the roof of the atrium,

    VENTILATION

    The wind tower (7) is expected to function


    as a non-mechanical air-conditioning
    system, but the mechanical component for
    the tower (ambiator) is yet to be installed. It
    will soon be installed, say PEDA officials.
    The ambiator uses the method of indirect
    evaporative cooling in which water cools the
    air without coming into contact with it. This
    method works well in humid conditions,
    says Darshi Dhaliwal, responsible for
    devising the ambiator. Currently, the tower
    is used to expel hot air from within the
    building.

    Fresh air rushes in from the openings in the


    envelope, passes over the floor and escapes
    through the tower top. Due to the building’s
    expanse and workstation panels (8), this
    flow is inadequate to maintain thermal
    comfort. So, coolers have been installed.

    CONCLUSIONS
    •Evaporative cooling towers work best with open floor plans that permit the air
    to circulate through out the building without any obstacles.

    •Good thermal mass of the building helps the building to perform in extreme
    conditions. Appropriate building design and orientation having properly
    placed building elements reduced or minimize the solar gain in summer.

    •Elements like light Vault, Solar chimney, Hyperbolic parabolised atrium roof
    help to minimize the solar gain.

    •From the TAS result it can be concluded that the atrium space is working
    properly with application of PDEC system by getting 10-12°C lower than
    ambient temperature, which also helps to cool the neighboring south office
    space to maintain a comfortable space to work.

    • From all evidences Punjab Energy Development Agency


    (PEDA) office building can be called as a passive solar
    complex. Overall the building performs well whole of the
    year. Evaporative cooling is required in May & June
