New Delhi
The industrial sector is an important sector for the Indian economy. From the growth of industries
individually or in small clusters to more organised industrial estates the trend today is development by
way of special industrial zones, investment regions, manufacturing zones, and even mega industrial
corridors.
The industrial parks and the industrial investment regions in their new form have started assuming
important role in the country’s development. However, if not properly planned, industrial development
has potential to pose tremendous risks on natural resources, environment and people. Proper
planning of the industrial parks and investment zones can result in increased overall competitiveness
and profitability of the residing businesses lower emissions and pollution raised resource and energy
efficiency, and offers an overall healthier working environment that helps in meeting the targeted
investment and employment goals.
Properly prepared development plans or master plans for industrial parks and investment zones could
support not only the industries in these zones, but also go a long way in supporting Sustainable
Development of the region and country as a whole. There is a need to make sure that these
Development Plans and Master Plans are environment-friendly. Clean, green, and energy efficient
technologies should be integrated at the planning stage itself into these industrial parks and
investment zones. This requires integration of clean/green/energy efficient and environment-friendly
technologies. This requires further clarification on what are such clean/green/energy efficient and
environment-friendly technologies and what are the guidelines and standards that are to be
considered while preparing the development plans or site master plans.
Within the context of the Indo-German Environment Partnership (IGEP) programme of the Indo
German Development Cooperation, GIZ provided technical support to the Association of Lady
Entrepreneurs of Andhra Pradesh (ALEAP) for site master planning of the Green Industrial Park
(GRIP) project at Nandigama catering to women entrepreneurs. Several aspects of environment,
resource efficiency and gender aspects were integrated into to the planning of the industrial park,
besides using the benchmarks set by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). A team of
national and international experts with several years of standing experience in applied research and
collaboration services were brought together for this task.
With the enthusiastic and active cooperation of ALEAP for taking forward this initiative of gender
inclusive and environment friendly site master planning, we are sure that the Green Industrial Park
would become a new landmark and set an example for other industrial parks in the country and the
region.

Design Charette
A two-day working charette was conducted at Auroville during November 19-20, 2013
wherein the teams of ALEAP, GIZ-IGEP, Murty & Manyam and Auroville Consulting
brainstormed on the alternative concepts for the site. The objective was to achieve
environmental and social goals for the project, while keeping the industrial park
development it economically viable.
The assembled team of experts reviewed the initial proposal by applying different layers
of the functional areas identified in previous phases. The key recommendations of the
experts were focussed on the attention to be given to the site’s natural features and
overall drainage patterns.
At the end of the visit, the design team formulated a revised layout plan with road
alignment as per the contours and also detailed provisionin of all kinds of infrastructure.

The site master plan was further refined by Murty & Manyam based on the inputs of
design charette and the site profile. It was then sent back to GIZ-IGEP and Auroville
Collaborative team for review and comments.
Workshop on Site Master Plan of ALEAP Green Industrial Park
A one-day workshop was conducted for finalisation of the site master plan of A-GRIP at
Murty and Manyam, Hyderabad on October 11, 2014. Experts from BuroHappold

CHAPTER 02
‘GREEN’ RATING SYSTEMS AND STANDARDS
A. DGNB RATING SYSTEM2
The German Sustainable Building Council6 (DGNB) provides a certification system based on
international codes and standards making it easy to use in various countries while at the
same time providing high quality and transparency. The DGNB System is the first, and to
date only system worldwide, in which the procedure to rate buildings in different countries is
an integral part of the system itself. This adaptation takes into account different climatic
zones, associated cost-benchmarks, and a specific database for life-cycle assessment,
within which the datasets for all European countries are made available.
Its distinguishing feature is the integrated evaluation of economic and environmental aspects
as well as user comfort. The system is used internationally, whereby the DGNB pre-
certificate in particular makes it an ideal design tool and is the only one worldwide that is
applicable for industrial districts. The DGNB system covers all of the key aspects of
sustainable building: environmental, economic, sociocultural and functional aspects,
technology, processes and site. (Refer image no. 2-1) The DGNB has defined target values
for each criterion. The concrete score for the 5 quality sections is calculated from the
combination of the assessment points with the relevant weighting.
The main benefit of this system is that it provides assistance from initial concept to final
completion. This highlights potential errors and deficiencies at an early stage and makes
quality measurable and transparent. The certification process is done by the auditor. The
contractor selects a suitable DGNB auditor that he can trust; and enters into a contract with
the auditor and a certification contract with the DGNB. The auditor supports the contractor
and supervises the process from registration via the certification up to the conclusion. There
is no contractual relationship between the DGNB and the auditor in order to guarantee the
greatest possible degree of objectivity and independence.

B. IGBC RATING SYSTEM
The Green Building movement in India has been spearheaded by the Indian Green
Building Council3 (IGBC) since 2001. The rating programme is a tool which enables the
designer to apply green concepts and criteria, so as to reduce the environmental impacts,
which are measurable.
IGBC has five rating systems out of which two rating systems are in the context of industrial
parks:
» IGBC Green Factory Building Rating System

» IGBC Green SEZs Rating Systems
IGBC Green Factory Building Rating System:
IGBC Green Factory Building Rating System is a voluntary and consensus based
programme. The rating system is based on materials and technologies that are currently
available. This rating system facilitates the development of energy efficiency, water
efficiency, health and more productive, environmentally friendly factories. The rating
system evaluates certain credit points using a prescriptive approach and other credits on a
performance based method. The rating system is evolved so as to be comprehensive and
simultaneously user-friendly. The programme is designed to address national priorities
and quality of life for factory employees.
The IGBC Green Factory Building Rating addresses both new and existing factory
buildings. The existing factory buildings should address the following measures before
applying for certification:
x Soil erosion control measures in future;

x Changes in design to accommodate requirements of differently abled people, like easy
access to lifts, rest rooms etc.;
x Change to low flow water fixtures;
x Rainwater harvesting;
x Limit turf areas;
x Have policy for use of green materials in future;
x Minimum fresh air ventilation;
x Comfort conditions; and
x Use eco-friendly housekeeping materials.
The rating system is valid for three years. Upon completion of the three years, projects
can be validated/ renewed based on the prevailing latest version. The guidelines detailed
under each credit enable the design and construction of green factory building of all sizes
and types. IGBC Green Factory Building Rating addresses green features under the
following categories:

http://www.igbc.in/site/igbc/index.jsp
Page 21

x Site Selection and Planning

x Water Conservation
x Energy Conservation
x Material Conservation
x Indoor Environment Quality and Occupational Health
Different levels of green building certification are awarded based on the total credits
earned. However, every Green Factory Building should meet certain mandatory
requirements, which are non-negotiable. The various levels of rating awarded are:
x ‘Certified’ to recognize best practices;

x ‘Silver’ to recognize outstanding performance;
x ‘Gold’ to recognize national excellence; and
x ‘Platinum’ to recognize global leadership.
Green Factory Building rating can have tremendous benefits, both tangible and
intangible. The most tangible benefits are the reduction in water and energy
consumption right from the first day of occupancy. Energy savings could range from
30 – 40 % and water savings between 20 – 30%. Intangible benefits of a green
factory include enhanced indoor air quality, good day lighting, health, well-being, and
safety of the workforce.
IGBC Green SEZ Rating System:
The Special Economic Zones (SEZ) policy was announced in April 2000, with an
intention to make SEZs, supported by quality infrastructure, an engine for economic
growth. The Indian Green Building Council along with the Ministry of Commerce &
Industry prepared the Green SEZ guidelines. The IGBC Green SEZ Rating System is a
voluntary and consensus-based programme. The rating system has been developed
based on materials and technologies that are presently available. The objective of
IGBC Green SEZ is to facilitate the creation of energy efficient, water efficient, healthy,
comfortable, and environmentally friendly SEZs.
The rating system evaluates certain credit points using a prescriptive approach and
other credits on a performance-based approach (refer table no. 2-3). The rating
programme uses well accepted national standards and, wherever local or national
standards are not available, appropriate international benchmarks are considered.

sustainable development of layouts. The applicant opting for Development of Green Layout
and Green Development as per the norms prescribed below shall be entitled for 25%
concession in the processing fee.
Layout planning & design as per solar geometry –
Land assemblage and developments should follow solar geometry and lay plots with
longer dimension facing north and south (with a maximum deviation of 5 degree off
north) and shorter dimensions facing east and west.
Eco-friendly transportation on-site –
Adequate provision for bicycle tracks, shaded footpaths for sites equal to or more than
50 acres in size. Provide cluster layouts instead of linear layout to reduce vehicular
lengths. Provisions for battery charging facilities in sites over 50 acres @ one in 50 cars
parked.
Energy efficient street lighting –
50-100% of outdoor lighting should be met with solar photovoltaic or in combination with
other renewable sources of energy, i.e., bio-mass, fuel cell, wind etc. The outdoor
lighting must be provided with micro-controller based time switch.
Provision for minimum local amenities –
Basic amenities such as grocery store, pharmacy, ATM, park should be located within
500m radius of any large residential/commercial development. If basic amenities are not
available, space should be provided to include them within the site.
Conserving site vegetation –
Land assemblage and developments should conserve existing site vegetation and
pockets of microhabitats. Existing trees should be protected where ever possible.
Provisions should be defined to protect site vegetation retained on site during
construction as described in NBC and MoEF manuals.
Conserving site geology –
All rock formations on site need to be integrated into the layout design where ever
possible taking adequate measures for stabilization. Native flora, fauna and existing in
rock clusters should not be disturbed but integrated into the layout design where ever
possible.
Soil conservation and erosion control –
Measures need to be taken before the commencement of site preparation activities in

order to conserve topsoil, reduce erosion and soil pollution through site demarcation
measures, spill prevention measures and temporary drainage channels with
sedimentation basins.
Adherence to site contours –
No disturbance, grading of land or stripping of vegetation shall be permitted on slopes of

25% or steeper. Any proposed disturbance for roadway crossings or utility construction
shall require variance application and approval. Roads and driveways shall follow the
natural topography to the greatest extent possible to minimize the cutting and grading of
critical slope areas.
Page 29

Integrated approach for Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) –
Sites with areas less than 10000 m2 shall implement rain water harvesting and SUDS
source control and infiltration instruments such as infiltration trenches, infiltration basins,
green roofs, permeable paving, etc. Larger sites (site area greater than 10000 m2) shall
implement other SUDS techniques integrated with the smaller techniques wherever
applicable. Open sites, i.e., sites where construction development has not yet been
planned shall also implement SUDS/ storm water drainage so as not to allow water
logging.
Water conserving landscaping –
Land assemblage and developments with no grey water or waste water treatment or
rainwater collection, no more than 25% to be covered by lawns, exotic or ornamental
plants, lawn areas should not have a slope of greater than 25%. At least 50% of the total
landscaped area in the site should use water conserving vegetation such as native
species or xeriscape and at least 40% water savings should be achieved in all sites with
vegetated area > 50 m2 by using efficient irrigation equipment.
Water recycling & reuse –
If a site does not have access to a public sewer line and discharges waste water, an
appropriate waste water treatment system should be installed and at least 75% of the
total treated water should be reused on site. If a site has access to a public sewer line,
grey water re-use potential of the site need to be assessed. If potential savings on
potable water exceeds 20%, an appropriate grey water treatment system is
recommended and at least 80% of the total treated grey water should be reused on-site.
Provisions for rainwater harvesting on-site –
All land assemblage and developments with a water saving potential of less than 10% of
their potable water demand from rainwater collection should divert roof top and water
from open areas into a percolation pit. Percolation pits should be sized appropriately and
maintained regularly.
Zero discharge of waste water and storm water from site –
All large developments (>50 acres site area) must adhere to ‘Zero Discharge’ of treated
waste water and storm water outside site limits.
Operation & maintenance requirement for decentralized WWTS –
All decentralized waste water treatment systems (WWTS) should employ qualified
personnel to operate and maintain the system. The personnel involved in operation and
maintenance should be a full time employee and maintenance and operation (M&O)
contract should be signed with a waste water management company for its provision.
Provisions for safe disposal of unused treated waste water –
Treated unused waste water should be disposed directly on ground for ground water
recharge, used for irrigating nearby community parks, used for construction activities,
disposed into a sewer line or a storm water drain or a lake, stream, pond or other surface
water bodies.
Page 30

Reducing storm water runoff and heat island effect through permeable paving –
Total paved area of the site under parking, roads, paths, or any other use should not
exceed 25% of the un-built site area or net imperviousness of the un-built site should not
go beyond the imperviousness factor as prescribed by the NBC10, whichever is more
stringent.
Reduction of outdoor light pollution –
Fixtures and fittings used for external lighting should be a minimum of 4 stars BEE rated.
Provide for control devices on at least 50% of all the installed lighting fixtures. Use low
albedo and rough surfaces around the luminaire to ensure that less light is reflected in
the surroundings.
Provisions for waste management on-site –
Land assemblage and developments should have a place allocated for sorting domestic
waste and treating organic/biodegradable waste through composting. This space should
have vehicular access and protected from wind and rain.
D. SITE LAYOUT STANDARDS
Since the site is under Patancheru mandal, its layout plan would be approved by the
Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority of the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
Hence, the planning and design of A-GRIP should adhere to the relevant G.Os (Government
Orders) pertaining to the norms and standards for various components of the layout and its
components.
The relevant government orders11 of HMDA were reviewed, keeping a focus on the relevant
components for the Industrial area/ park. (Refer table no. 2-6). These components were:

Under ”Technical EIA Guidance Manual for Industrial Estates” from the Ministry of
Environment and Forests, of the Government of India, the following guidelines have been
mentioned:
Planning and establishment: The State Industrial Development Corporations (SIDC) and
Development Authorities (DA) will identify the alternative sites and control the land use in
the region and within industrial complexes. Detailed master plans for the IE may be
prepared indicating the phases of development and also in defining the land use pattern
for the surrounding buffer zone. This would ensure controlled development in the future.
[Page no 3-20]
Under the section “steps involved in identification of a site” the following is mentioned:
‘The various steps involved in the identification of a suitable site for Industrial Estates
(IE) include: Providing appropriate buffer zones around IEs.’
[Page no 3-27]
Under the section of ”risk based land use planning”, following is mentioned:
‘The use of adequate buffer zones within such industrial parks is particularly important
and the use of site specific risk assessments is desirable.’
[Page no 3-32]
Under section of ”Emergency management”, the following is mentioned:
The four core elements of emergency management are:

‘Prevention/mitigation- land-use planning, dangerous goods corridors, buffer zones and
process safety management of industry.’
Page 35

[Page no 3-38]
Under the section ”terms of reference for EIA studies”, the following is mentioned:
Anticipated environmental impacts are:

‘Odour mitigation plan may be described. Also make provision of green cover as a
measure for mitigation of dust and noise and buffer between habitation and industry.’
[Page no 4-20]
Under the section ”operational aspects of EIA”, the following is mentioned:
The EIA report will be typically examined for the following:

‘Project site description supported by topographic maps and photographs –detailed
description of topography, land use and activities at the proposed project site and its
surroundings (buffer zone) supported by photographic evidence’
[Page no 4-49]
Above excerpts reiterate the importance of buffer zones for industrial parks for both
functional as well as regulatory requirements.

The following sections of the chapter would detail out these stages.
A. PROJECT ENVISIONING EXERCISE:
A consultative process with all the stakeholders including ALEAP, future tenants of the
industrial park, GIZ and Murthy & Manyam was adopted since the inception of the project.
ALEAP expressed its self-motivation for sustainable development through following vision:
“The Green Industrial Park, Nandigama is envisioned to be a model Green Industrial Park that
provides an environment conducive for women entrepreneurs and employs stateͲofͲthe art
technologies, including clean technologies, renewable energy technologies, environmental
technologiesandcostͲeffectivecommoninfrastructure.”
This vision was further validated with the area programme for each individual functional area
and further refined by Auroville consulting31 as below:
“Empowering women by creating safe, supportive and replicable entrepreneurial environments
that foster integral sustainability, collective prosperity, innovation and adaptability to local
cultures.”

B. SITE ANALYSIS:
Site assessment was done to understand the context of site, topography, drainage pattern,
surface water, wind, radiation and rainfall to interpret the site profile to determine its impact
on spatial planning and design.
Surface water:
20 m wide nallah/drain (width varies across length) exists dividing the site into 2 parcels:
site 1 having an area of 68.29 acres and lying on the western side of the nallah/drain and
site 2 having an area of 14.25 acres and lying to the east of the nallah/drain. (Refer Map
no. 3-1).
Topography:
From contour analysis, it was observed that the site has 1:7 slope for the parcel of land
to the west of the nalah/drain and 1:4 slope for the parcel of land lying to the east of the
nalah32/ drain. Both the site parcels on either side slopes down towards the nalah/ drain.
(Refer Map no. 3-7). Hence, the natural drainage of the site is advantageous for
sewerage and drainage layout. The site is characterized by clayey soil with very less
porosity resulting in high surface run-off.
Wind:
In the climate study the wind rose pattern was studied to find out the prevailing wind
speed, direction and duration with respect to the site. The analysis revealed that the
predominant wind direction is along south-west and north-east channel. Also, the
temperature of the wind from the north-east and south-west is cooler compared to those
from other direction.
Temperature and radiation:
The climate of the area is characterized by hot dry season throughout the year and hot
and humid monsoon during June-July months of the year. May is the hottest month with
the mean daily temperature of about 40°C. December is the coldest month with a mean
daily temperature of about 29°C. (Refer table no. 3-1)
The average daily incident radiation on a vertical surface has been deduced from the sun
path diagram and utilized to decide the orientation of building blocks.
Table no. 3-1: Monthly maximum-minimum temperatures in Medak (2012)
Month Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May June Jul. Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov. Dec.
Minimum 14.4 16.5 17.2 23.3 25.0 23.8 22.1 21.3 NA 17.3 14.9 13.0
Maximum 30.9 35.0 38.0 39.8 42.7 36.0 30.6 29.8 NA 31.4 30.3 31.4
Source:http://www.telangana.gov.in/TelanganaStateProfile/3-Climate.pdf
An observation that emerged out of the analysis of temperature and radiation was that
on an average 5.22 KwH / m2/ day is received which could be a potential for harnessing
solar energy.

Rainfall:
The area gets two monsoons in varying degrees, the southwest monsoon from June till
August, and northeast monsoon from September to November. The average annual
rainfall of the district is 910 mm33, which ranges from least rainfall in December, January
and February and March and highest in July. The monthly rainfall distribution over a
period of five years is given in Table no. 3-2.

For Medak district in particular, it has been recommended by Central Ground Water
Board34 that large scale artificial recharge structures like percolation tanks, check dams,
farm ponds, embankment structures should be provided on watershed basis so as to
augment ground water storage. It is important to build the artificial recharge structures
based on the topography, soil, slope, surface run off available and hydrogeological
conditions.
Based on the observations from rainfall data as well recommendations from Central
Ground Water Board, following planning consideration were derived-
x The site can provide potential of rain water collection during the months of June, July,
August, September and October. (maximum rainfall is received during July to August
up to 400-450 mm/ month); and
x The environment infrastructure should include conservation of rain water and

adoption of techniques like recycle and reuse.
Spatial Planning considerations from site analysis:
Following analysis evolved out of analyzing different physical attributes of the site.
x The land use structure should be designed according to natural slope so that
minimum site disturbance happens and natural drainage is also retained.
x The longitudinal axis of the site is along north-west to south-east. This can be an
appropriate location for green lung space of the industrial park.
x The wind flow within the site moves mainly in the south-west to north-east direction
and vice versa and hence the siting of the STP should be done accordingly.

x Efficient onsite management of water resources and waste water should be done to
prevent the negative impact on the surroundings.
x The site has potential for solar energy which should be explored.
x Building design should be climate responsive so that the working environment is
comfortable for the employees as well as less dependence is given to the artificial
cooling etc.
x A large number of workers shall be most likely employed from the surrounding
villages, helping them acquire new skills. Hence, training facilities should be included.
Site analysis formed the basis of evolving structure plan and assessing the infrastructure
for A-GRIP.
C. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In this stage, the project team conducted two site visits (in April 2013 and July 2013) to gain
a better understanding of the physical conditions, transportation connections, access, nature
of the surrounding uses, and informal interviews with residents from nearby villages during
different seasons (pre-monsoon and monsoon).35 Future tenants of A-GRIP were given a
questionnaire to understand their needs and priorities. (Refer annex 3-4). The results

D. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

This section reflects upon the integrated planning approach, which was followed for
preparing an environment friendly site master plan for A-GRIP. The goal was to apply
principles of physical planning so that it has positive implications not only on the visually
quality, but also on the efficiency and functioning of the industrial park as a whole.
Initially, a conceptual plan was drafted by ALEAP’s consultants with an objective to achieve
maximum number of plots in the site area. (Refer image no. 3-1). However, after analysis it
was realized that in order to achieve ALEAP’s vision, the elements like safety,
empowerment, sustainability, innovation etc. should be manifested in the physical planning
and design of the industrial park. Hence, reconceptualization was done in order to relate the
vision with the design.
Image no. 3-1: Concept Plan

[Source: Murty and Manyam Architects and Engineers]
Modified concept
The modified concept was based on the consideration to maximize the number of
industrial plots without compromising the environmental parameters.
x Circulation
The roads were reoriented according to the contours of the site. A hierarchy of
pedestrian, vehicular and service access roads was created to minimize conflicts
between the different vehicle types and modes of transport. A secondary network of
green pathways was created to intercept the vehicular movement and create more
cohesive and interactive working and travel environment. Parking facilities were
decentralized to ensure that people walk to the individual plots/ amenities rather than
park on roads in front of them thereby creating congestion.
Page - 51 -

x Land use and zoning
The concept for urban planning was the positioning of clusters of facilities as per the
zones. A buffer zone was introduced along the periphery of the site to minimize the
impact on the surrounding agricultural area. To create an interface zone, units with
relatively low toxicity units, service areas or recreational areas were placed along the
boundary. The public utilities, common functional areas are planned to utilize the
peripheral notches of the site.
x Green areas and storm water management
The goal was to create an economically productive as well as aesthetic green

network to achieve a healthy working environment. The concept of green spaces was
to create a network of interconnected green areas integrated with the storm water
management and landscaping. As per the contours and site profile, a central spine
was created as a huge lung space to serve as interactive and storm water
management space. This gave way to the layout of industrial clusters on either side
of the central spine road and intercepted with secondary road networks. Also, the
storm water run-off was channelized through the secondary greens that end in a loop
to merge at the central green spine. (Refer image no. 3-2).

Other recommendations
In addition to above, following were the recommendations from Buro Happold

Engineering for modifying the concept plan and specific thematic plans. (Also refer
image no. 3-3). –
x It was recommended to develop the clusters of industries as per pollution potential so

that it can help in waste management effectively and prevent water from other
clusters getting contaminated. It would also help in provision/creation of common
infrastructure in each cluster.
x It was recommended that the social infrastructure should include services for the
elderly to complement the infrastructure on the neighbouring settlements.

x Uniformity of structures was recommended for possibility of expansion and easy

maintenance.
x Involvement of local citizens was recommended to make this industrial park a place
people appreciate and have belongingness.
x It was also recommended to optimize the open space in the industrial park and
spend more money on higher quality open spaces.
Hence this led to the modified concept for A-GRIP. (Refer image no. 3-4).This stage was
succeeded by the preparation of thematic plans which has been described in the sections
namely: Basic infrastructure, Technical Infrastructure, Environmental infrastructure and
Social infrastructure.
E. BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE
ZONING
1. Industrial Zones
The division of industrial zones in A-GRIP has been done to cluster similar industries
together and provide for their common infrastructure. Industrial zones like Pharmaceutical
formulations and general engineering were zoned towards the core of the industrial park and
closest to the effluent treatment plant. Also, industries like herbal products, garments, paper
and packaging, solar products and food processing functions were zoned towards the edges
of the industrial park since they are least toxic and will have minimum impact on
surroundings. The industries for plastic products have been near to the centre of the
industrial park. (Refer table no.3-1, map no. 3-2)

The entry gate could be manned through the ALEAP management or services could be
put in place through appropriate business models (e.g. Public Private Partnership). An
entry fee could be charged, which could be used for maintaining parking facilities and
other road infrastructure.
Mobility: Eco Efficient Transportation
The transportation for A-GRIP is proposed to include appropriate road hierarchy, mobility
of goods and passengers (internal and external transportation), parking, pedestrian
pathways, bicycle ways, truck parking and linkages to external transport systems.
x External Linkages
» It has been suggested that ALEAP should take up with the State Government or
its agencies to improve/provide external road linkages between the A-GRIP and
nearby settlements or housing areas from where workers/ employees will travel to
the park.
» Bus stops and pedestrian access points have been allocated near the main
entrance of A-GRIP for providing easy access to regional bus service.
» It has been suggested that eco-friendly public transportation such as battery

operated vehicles, CNG buses should to operate from A-GRIP to the nearby
settlement, housing areas, railway station, bus station etc. The services could be
put in place through appropriate business model (e.g., PPP).
» A bike and pedestrian network has been created between the surrounding
settlements and the A-GRIP as well as within the A-GRIP for workers.
Page - 65 -

x Internal mobility
» Battery operated vehicles have been suggested for internal transport for
employees/workers/visitors. The services have been recommended to be put in
place through appropriate business model (e.g. PPP).
» Bus stops/shelters have been proposed in the site master plan of the A-GRIP.
» Bicycle ways and spaces for bicycle stations have been proposed in the site
master plan of A-GRIP. The services are suggested to be put in place through
appropriate business models (e.g. PPP).
» For private vehicles, adequate parking facilities has been provided at the
entry/exit points, at central level, and at zonal level.
Bicycle ways
Bicycle tracks, bicycle stations, and bicycle parking facilities have been provided in the
Site Master Plan of the A-GRIP to encourage the usage of bicycles for getting to
work.(Refer image no. 3-12). Dedicated cycle tracks on 3 major hierarchical roads i.e.
24 and 18 m have been proposed in the Basic Infrastructure Plan. (Refer Annex II: map
no. 3-3) The services are suggested to be put in place through appropriate business
models (e.g. PPP).

Pedestrian Network
A-GRIP has been proposed with extensive pedestrian network consisting of sidewalks
along roads and green pathways to create a system of safe and convenient pedestrian
ways throughout the zones. (Refer Annex II- map no. 3-3). The green pathways provided
would give a natural, attractive and safe option of travel. (Refer image no. 3-13). The
width of secondary greens between the plots has been given in a manner to provide for a
loop of pedestrian and cycling along the streets and through the green pathways behind
plots.

Following provisions will be made along the walking tracks:
x Provision of amenities that encourage pedestrian movement, such as benches, street

trees, waste receptacles, pedestrian- scaled street lighting, shelter at public areas
and curb cuts for accessibility to collector/distributor roads .(refer image no. 3-14)
x Food and other related kiosks along green pathways zones to avoid conflicts in
movement of vehicles and people.
x Pedestrian routes with avenue trees of indigenous species interspersed with hard
landscaping, comprising of benches, street lighting and accessible curbs.

Parking provision
Safe and convenient parking has been planned between the working areas and the basic
amenities so that neither they are underutilized, nor only used by persons who have
personal vehicles. Sustainable features such as permeable pavement, pedestrian
network, landscaping, trees and applicable storm water drainage have been proposed in
the parking areas.
Truck parking
Planning for parking sites has been done based on hierarchy, purpose, safety
accessibility and space standard (Refer Annex I: 3-3). To avoid truck parking on-street in
a haphazard manner, parking should be provided at: a) park level (overnight stay), b)
zone/cluster level (temporary stay), and c) plot level (loading/unloading). The hierarchy
of parking is shown below:
Centralised truck parking • For long hault trucks
• For trucks waiting to reach an individual plot

Zone level truck Parking within the zone
Plot level truck parking • For loading /unloading activity within the park
The parking requirement for long halt trucks has been worked out for every zone and
added up for the central level facility, as shown below.

Since there will be a lot of trucks for

shorter and longer periods, it is likely that
the oil spillage on the paving may
happen which can be dangerous if mixed
with the storm water runoff. For
prevention of oil spillage, it is
recommended that a plastic container
should be placed underneath the engine
to collect spilled engine oil. (Refer image
no 3-15).

Bus Bays
Along the collector road and close to the zonal facilities, bus bays are proposed to
integrate mobility and infrastructure. As per the Indian Road Congress (IRC) Codes 86-
1983,
x Bus bays should be located 75 m from the intersection on either side.

x Bus bays should be provided by recessing the curb to avoid conflict with moving
traffic.
x The length of the recess should be 15 m for a single bus stop.
x The taper should be desirably 1:8 (in meters)
x The depth of the recess should be 4.5 m for single bus stop.
x A minimum 1.5m footpath should be ensured behind the bus bays.
With above considerations, the bus bays should be constructed.

Signage
The purpose of this guideline is to provide the site management with the tools necessary
to help users find their way in and around the A-GRIP. The following types of signage
have been envisaged:
x Directional signage along major roads, pedestrian ways, and bicycle ways;
x Building identification signage;
x Signage on landmarks, central facilities, zonal facilities etc.;
x Signage pertaining to names of industries;
x Information signage; and
x Advertisement boards/hoardings.
Above signages can be classified into the categories of mandatory and cautionary
signages. These have been listed under annex 3-6 and 3-7 respectively.
Following parameters for signages are proposed to achieve a single thread and
interconnected character in A-GRIP:
x Building identification signage includes the name of the building or tenant.

x Freestanding identification signage may include the building address and should be
located near the street frontage and ground mounted in a landscape setting. (Refer
image no. 3-16).
x Materials and colours used on the signage should be consistent and compatible with
the Building Design.
x Signage should be integrated with road cross sections and landscaping features.
x A uniform system of colour, placing, and text should be followed to avoid confusion.
Advertisement boards and hoardings should be located suitably, integrating with the
landscaping.

Fire, Safety And Security
x Security
Security system in A-GRIP is proposed to address the safety for the property and
personnel working in the park from theft, harassment, intrusion and unwanted
vehicles and activities. A centralized security office is proposed at the main entrance
of the A-GRIP.
Ͳ Dimensions of security cabin = 11.6 m X 3.85 m

Ͳ Area of security cabin at main entrance = 44.66 m2
x Fencing
The industrial park is proposed to have fencing all around. The fencing should be
made of environmentally-friendly materials and should have an elegant design.(Refer
image no. 3-17). Provisions have been made for a buffer zone (with varying width
between 2-4 m) and a road along the periphery to provide easy access for fire
protection and emergencies. The buffer zone is proposed to have dense and
indigenous plantation. (Refer image no. 3-19)
Image no.3-17: Green fencing designs

x Cameras and emergency blue lights
The A-GRIP has provisions for close circuit (CC)

cameras placed at all strategic locations in the
industrial park. All these CC cameras are
connected to the central security office.
It has been proposed to install the emergency

blue lights along the roads and at public spaces
for safety of the employees. (Refer image no. 3-
18). In situation of emergency, users can
communicate directly with security centre by
pressing the red button of these units.

3. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE
Green Building
Buildings should be oriented and designed to conserve non-renewable energy,

reduce running costs of buildings with little or no additional building cost. Hence, it is
proposed that, all the factory buildings as well as administrative buildings in the A-
GRIP would be green factory buildings as per IGBC rating system.(Refer image no.
3-2).
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Rating System (refer chapter 2, section –
B) for Green Buildings take into consideration the following parameters:
x Sustainable sites;
x Water efficiency;
x Energy & atmosphere;
x Material & resources; and
x Indoor environmental quality.
The various levels of rating awarded are:
x ‘Certified’ to recognize best practices;
Page - 73 -

x ‘Silver’ to recognize outstanding performance;

x ‘Gold’ to recognize national excellence; and
x ‘Platinum’ to recognize global leadership.
Image no. 3-20: Examples of Green Factory Buildings at Sri City, Tada, Andhra
Pradesh
x Building design:
Based on the site analysis (section B), A-GRIP will have climatically suitable building
envelope shape and/or orientation for tropical Wet-Dry climate to reduce operational
energy use. This has been achieved by adhering to following parameters:
» All apertures are designed for maximum sun and rain protection in order to
minimize glare and allow the space to be used with open windows ensuring
ventilation. This will reduce heat intake and reduce cooling needs while
modulating natural lighting conditions.
Image no. 3-20: Examples of Roof lights

Page - 74 -

» Solar passive features should be integrated into the building design such as
shading of walls, windows, and roofs. (Refer image no. 3-20).
» Windows and/or roof vents are to be provided at all levels within the building to
ensure cross ventilation and heat purging.
» Attempts have been made to standardize plot layout to achieve climate
optimization inside the buildings in a passive way. (refer image no. 3-21)
Image no. 3-21: Standard block layout and façade of Abutting plots
» Uniform building codes (plot layout, building exteriors, signage, colours etc.)
should be followed as an urban design measure.
Page - 75 -

Image no. 3-22: Built vs open area in plot design

[Source: Auroville Consulting]
» Peripheral tree plantation should be provided in the front, side and back of the
plot with evergreen trees to shade the building and open areas, to prevent heat
island effect, with a minimum of 1 tree per 100m². (Refer image no. 3-22).
» FAR and ground coverage will be as per applicable byelaws/regulations in the

area.
x Building materials:
» Local building materials that have minimum processing and pretreatment should
be used.
» “Green Building” and “Barrier Free Building” concepts should be followed.
» Materials for buildings have been proposed to be selected based on -
Ͳ Local availability and accessibility
Ͳ Ease of assembly
Ͳ Low operational energy needs
Ͳ Suitability for the project function
x Roof form and Orientation
» Glazing on east and west façades should be avoided or minimized with the
exception of street facing façades which shall be appropriately shaded or treated
to avoid solar glare.
» External shading devices (overhangs, awnings, shutters, and directional louvers)

are encouraged for all north, south, west and east facing openings.
» Internal lighting should be achieved primarily through natural daylight using light
shelves to provide glare free, indirect lighting, as the local sunlight tends to be
harsh. Also, allowing direct penetration of sunlight into the buildings results in the
heating of internal spaces.
Page - 76 -

» Provision of ’Green’ roofs, combined with photo voltaic cells, has been proposed
for all industrial buildings as well as common facility buildings. The roof top will
therefore become a source of renewable energy and at the same time will provide
shade to the roof to minimize heating, thereby reducing cooling loads. (Refer
images no. 3-13)
Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency Provisions
Following measures have been taken to use the renewable energy:
x Industrial park level measures:
» All buildings in the A-GRIP have to be energy efficient as per the Energy
Conservation Building Code (ECBC). Process loads for industrial buildings are
excluded.
» Solar street lighting installations with individual battery backup are proposed. This
practice can be altered by setting up pocket grid tied SPV systems or centralized
grid tied SPV systems that are designed to only generate the equivalent amount
of electricity the street lights draw from the grid in order to reduce system
maintenance.
» All common spaces, including street lights (where there is no use of light for
reading purposes), shall use “LED.(Refer image no. 3-23)
» 100% of internal & external lighting fixtures should be BEE star rated, wherever
applicable. The usage of incandescent lamps is not allowed.
» At least 25% of the installed external lighting load should be solar powered.
Image no. 3-23: Example of Solar powered LED Street lights
