The Indian Oil campus in Panipat is significant in having achieved a LEED Gold certification. This building is one of its kinds with its vision on the concept of sustainability. The essential outcomes include site sustainability, indoor environment quality, effective waste management, energy and water efficiency and regional priority besides the innovative design approach with green power generation.
Some of the salient features are lighting optimization to minimize the internal lighting load, improved thermal properties of glass, 100% green power purchase, use of three waste bin system, use of 25% local manufactured and extracted materials, water conservation fixtures, usage of waste low pressure exhaust steam from IOCL Power Plant to operate VAM chillers amongst others. The buildings are planned around courtyards in response to the climate conditions and as interesting interactive spaces. Sustainability along with aesthetics and functionality form the core values of design derivation.
