Commercial · ECBC · Maharashtra ECBC compliance for a large IT campus
Challenge

Developer with a 180,000 sq ft IT campus in Pune needed ECBC compliance for Maharashtra state authority. No in-house simulation. Six-week submission window.

Scope

Whole-building energy model. Prescriptive and trade-off compliance paths documented. LPD analysis. Full BEE/MoP-formatted submission report.

Outcome

Approved on first submission. Developer retained BEI for two further campus phases — engaged at EDP, not WD.

Residential Township · GRIHA · Pan-India GRIHA 4-star for a residential township
Challenge

Developer committed to GRIHA 4-star for state FSI incentive — three architects, four typologies, no single compliance lead. Rating target was aspirational, not validated.

Scope

BEI embedded as GRIHA coordinator across all typologies. Credit gap analysis. Energy simulation for mandatory credits. Full ADaRSH documentation package.

Outcome

GRIHA 4-star achieved. FSI incentive unlocked. Estimated INR 2.4 Cr development cost saving. Developer adopted BEI across portfolio.

Hospitality · Daylighting · South India IGBC Gold for a business hotel
Challenge

Hotel operator required IGBC Gold for international brand franchisor. Project at DD stage with locked design and no margin for redesign.

Scope

Full credit gap assessment. Energy model for warm & humid climate. Documentation-only credit substitutions identified for three threatened credits. IGBC Online submission managed end-to-end.

Outcome

IGBC Gold achieved without redesign. Franchisor requirement met on schedule. Operator engaged BEI for sister property at EDP stage.

Educational · Daylighting · Composite Climate Daylighting simulation for a university campus
Challenge

Architecture practice designing a university campus needed daylighting simulation to validate passive design strategy and satisfy GRIHA mandatory daylighting credits across multiple building typologies.

Scope

Climate-based daylight modelling for lecture blocks, library and hostels. Solar penetration studies. ASHRAE 55 thermal comfort maps. Three shading variants per typology.

Outcome

Shading locked at DD. GRIHA daylighting credits secured. Practice used simulation visualisations in university trust board presentation.

Affordable Housing · EDGE · Pan-India EDGE certification for an affordable housing project
Challenge

Developer building PMAY-linked affordable housing needed EDGE certification to access IFC green finance at a lower interest rate. No in-house green building expertise. Very constrained project budget for advisory fees.

Scope

EDGE feasibility study at EDP. Material and system specification to meet 20%+ savings thresholds in energy, water and embodied energy. Full EDGE Online documentation managed to certification.

Outcome

EDGE certified. Developer accessed IFC green finance at 75 basis points below market rate. Advisory fee recovered in first year of financing savings.

Smart Cities · Net Zero · Government Net zero strategy for a Smart Cities Mission precinct
Challenge

Government SPV developing a mixed-use precinct under Smart Cities Mission needed a credible net zero pathway for both technical submission and central government funding reporting.

Scope

Operational carbon baseline for full precinct. End-use breakdown. Improvement measures ranked by cost-per-tonne-CO₂e. Rooftop solar PV sizing. Panchamrit-aligned net zero roadmap for central government review.

Outcome

Five measures adopted in the master plan. Roadmap used in central government progress review. Net zero target date confirmed: 2038.
