Overview
IREO Corridor is a residential complex with about 3 Lac sqft builtup area. Ireo group appointed Firstgreen consulting for its green building certification from GRIHA. The starting points of the planning for The Corridors are principles of sustainability and natural convenience. Its buildings have been constructed with materials which are durable and balanced enough to withstand the hot, dusty, infrequently wet environment of Haryana. Windows are crafted with glass material that does not require regular maintenance of cleaning them with precious water. Hence, it serves the dual purposes of saving cost and water.
Free energy from the sun will be harvested through the use of solar collectors for electricity generation on the roofs. The building is using local material like ‘Kota stone ect. which is reducing
The building have also incorporated a 40kW solar PV system on the roof which will supply power to the common area lighting of the building. Rigorous 3D energy modelling was done by Firstgreen team to assess the suitable glass selection in the building. The lighting was done using the LEDs to keep the lighting power density below 0.5W/SQFT. There will also be a provision for cyclists and showers to encourage building users to cycle rather than use a vehicle, again in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint.
We are hoping that IREO group will inspire the other developers to design their building in this way.

Procedure for GRIHA CErtification
Step-1
Registration with GRIHA
The building is registered with GRIHA green building certification portal
Step-2
Data collection during the performance period
The building data is collected related to Sustainable Site, Construction management, Water management, Energy optimization , Occupant comfort, Solid Waste management,Sustainable Building Material, and life cycle Cost Analysis
Step-3
Review of documentation by GRIHA team
GRIHA closely review all the documentation and the Criterion are awarded as per their norms.
Step-4
Final certification
Once all the review replies are satisfied by the GRIHA review team, the building is awarded appropriate certification based on the Criterion approved.
