Measure, Monitor & Control
• You cannot control what you cannot measure !
• Installed over 1500 energy meters starting from 2008 to measure energy
consumption of various energy consumption categories
− Building incoming feeder
− Chiller plant main panel, and further sub metering
− Lighting/raw power panel
• This was the starting point for energy efficiency measures in existing
buildings

HVAC Design optimization process
Goal
To maximize energy efficiency in building HVAC system through
design interventions
Step 1
• Prevent heat coming into the building as much as possible
Step 2
• Design efficient system to maximize energy efficiency
Step 3
• Select high efficiency equipments to further maximize energy efficiency

Green Building Certifications
• LEED Platinum rating for BPO-1, Jaipur
• LEED Platinum rating for SDB-1, Trivandrum
• LEED Platinum rating for SDB-5, Mysore
• LEED Platinum rating for SDB-1, Hyderabad
• BEE 5-star rating for BPO-1, Pune
• All new buildings of Infosys since 2008 have been registered for Green
Building rating – LEED / GRIHA
38
Redefining the standards
• Building envelope heat load not to exceed 1.0 W/sqft
• More than 75% of the office area to be naturally lit as per LEED standards
Breaking the barrier…………..
• > 550 sqft per TR of AC area
• < 0.4 W/sqft for lighting design
• < 0.5 kW/TR for chiller plant design
• < 3.5 W/sqft for electrical design
39
Experiences / Conclusions
• Set unreasonable targets
• Efficient buildings do not cost more, but need a little effort at the right time. All
Infosys buildings exceed ECBC efficiency requirements.
• Good design = job half done !
• Question all assumptions and get the sizing right
• Select right sized efficient equipments and smart controls
• Measure, monitor……..Measure, monitor………..feedback….
• Seeing is believing……………Welcome to Infosys.
