Sustainability Index Measurement of Energy Efficient Skyscrapers: Present Indian Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: During last century development of skyscraper have been rapidly increasing worldwide. The present fifth generation skyscrapers are influenced by the energy conservation and sustainable strategies. This paper brings out the list of such techniques and design principles used in tall building. A comprehensive literature study has been made to classify and characterize the innovative sustainable techniques. A comparative analysis is worked out in a weighted scale for the classified sustainable and energy conservation technologies and design principles. During analysis, present techno-socioeconomic Indian scenario is given prime importance. Final phase of the paper measures the sustainability index of the above said technology and principles. This index and the ranking ultimately reveal that the passive design criteria with some selective energy generation techniques are the key features of modern sustainable skyscrapers in India.
