Synefra Project Highlights
Total office area developed: 5,300 sq mta
Industrial area constructed: 7,76,399 sq mts
With a focus on Synefra growth plans, Mr. J R Tanti, Managing Director, Synefra E & C who is considered a pioneer for Green Building Initiatives and a visionary for Sustainable infrastructure provided context saying, “Infrastructure shall be the thrust area in the coming decade globally and Synefra shall be focusing on leveraging the available opportunities in E & C sector. While One Earth shall re-write many norms in the infrastructure industry we shall continue to cross our own benchmarks. It reaffirms Synefra‘s commitment to the cause of Sustainable Infrastructure.”
Project One Earth is developed on an area of 443,473 sq. ft (10.75 acres and shall be one of the largest green building projects in the country. It is a benchmark project in energy efficiency in all aspects of engineering and construction. Built on principles of LEED and GRIHA and its whole-building approach to sustainability the key aspects are human and environmental health, sustainable site development, efficient water usage, energy and waste methods, materials and resource selection, indoor environmental quality and most important innovation and design processes.
A few program highlights achieved by Synefra are:
• Site is in accordance with specified distances from wetlands and farm lands. The design of the premises incorporates open spaces that exceed local zoning requirements by as much as 25% thus ensuring little or no site disturbance.
• 70% of construction material so deployed is low energy in nature, which is manufactured regionally and uses higher recycled content.
• 100% renewable energy powered campus (solar & wind) along with deployment of CFCs and HCFCs free air conditioning systems has helped phenomenally in energy conservation.
• Keeping in tune with water conservation efforts the premise has maximum rain water harvesting system and on site sewage treatment plant that aids recycling sewage water for air conditioning and landscape.
• The Campus uses “pebble drain” technology to reduce soil erosion and collect rain water. Energy, water and soil conservation have therefore been woven into each and every facet of construction.
• Largest outdoor LED installation for all external lighting.
• Water cooled VRV air conditioning installation.
• Urban installation of on - site 18 wind turbines.
One Earth with a capacity to accommodate around 2300 employees is based on the theme of a ´Global Village‘ and is so named as a tribute to earth‘s unique existence as a self-replenishing eco-system. Synefra has achieved an overall 20% project cost saving in comparison to a similar scale project. Over and above its green credentials this project has also a lot to offer with respect to work place ambience, aesthetics and social dynamics thereby contributing immensely to employee productivity.
