TRCWW is doing our part to help the environment – Introducing Net Zero and Energy Efficiency Design Capabilities!

The overall goal of TRCWW Sustainability is to educate our clients on the best global practices and helping them make informed decisions by presenting various design and cost options. From the very beginning during the masterplanning phase, we help to design buildings maximizing the visual, acoustic, and thermal comfort providing innovative and ground-breaking MEP engineering solutions.

We think about the design of a building to optimize the use of passive renewable resources through building shape and orientation, and utilizing high-efficiency systems as the final step in achieving a net zero design.

Our team of experts work on energy efficient building design, building code development, Sustainable Masterplanning, energy efficiency policy development, energy simulation and green building certification.

Services

We study the historical wind patterns of the given locations, and Study the wind movement patterns across the proposed masterplan. We use the results of the analysis to advice our architectural planning teams to optimize
  • The spacing between buildings
  • The street widths
  • Size of the courtyards between different wings
windflow
Daylighting without glare helps create a visually stimulating and productive environment for building occupants. As part of the daylighting study, we model the entire building and study the light penetration and the distribution of the lighting and advice our partners on
  • Building orientation
  • Climate responsive window to wall ratio with the optimum balance between daylight and heat gain
  • Optimized floor footprint
  • Proportion of individual windows
  • Glazing selection
  • Vertical and Horizontal solar shading devices and their proportion to avoid excessive glare
  • Location and proportion of Light shelves to improve the light penetration in project with deeper floor plates
  • Use of dynamic facades, skylights and tubular daylighting devices
  • Daylight responsive lighting controls
  • Daylight responsive furniture design and placement
daylight
We model the placement of the various buildings on the campus to study the solar radiation on the façade and advice the architects on
  • Self-Shading strategies
  • Spacing between buildings to reduce the direct solar heat gains
  • Placement of trees and vegetation to reduce the glare
  • placement of buildings/trees to improve walkability across the masterplan

Review building design and document the compliance with the mandatory and optional provisions of the certification body.Identify Low hanging opportunities to present the certification level to the owner.
Facilitate and Help the project team to achieve ‘pre certification’ for project under rating program. Present the ROI analysis of opportunities to improve the scorecard. Hand hold and Support the project team throughout the project period to get the appropriate rating.

The Sustainable Design Guidelines are meant to illustrate sustainable design strategies and concepts that focus on the appropriate and efficient use of resources —water, energy, air, materials and land — in order to reduce the development’s environmental impact during its lifecycle, and to make the whole development a highly ‘sustainable living community’ space. The report summarizes the product & technology research conducted by the Sustainability Team, and describes those products & technologies that will likely be the most useful for and relevant to Development.
  • Minimize it’s ecological footprint
  • Achieve sustainable building and community design
  • Enhance the development’s air and water quality
  • Have increased operational efficiency
  • Achieve a clean community, where the environment is protected from pollution
  • Prepare the community for future and resilient to change
  • Be a healthy community, where highly livable outdoor environments encourage opportunities for excursive activity and interaction

We see water in context. From delivering water infrastructure to advising on natural catchments, we consider commercial, economic, environmental and social implications.
The goal is to ensure that the development maximizes water conservation by optimizing the utilization of site water resources, minimizing site waste water outflows, by maximizing water use efficiency within buildings and on site, while reducing potable water requirements, and by generating water on site.

Following Services will be done as part of Water engineering:
  • Minimize it’s ecological footprint
  • Achieve sustainable building and community design
  • Enhance the development’s air and water quality
  • Have increased operational efficiency
  • Achieve a clean community, where the environment is protected from pollution
  • Prepare the community for future and resilient to change
  • Be a healthy community, where highly livable outdoor environments encourage opportunities for excursive activity and interaction
