Bangalore: The Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Resources has chosen BCIL’s ZED Earth project
in Bangalore as the best green project in the country. ZED Earth, one
of the largest sustainable villa projects in the world, scored a
staggering and unprecedented 48 points on a scale of 50 under the new
SVAGRIHA Green Rating. This Rating System is administered by the
prestigious The Energy Resource Institute [TERI], New Delhi, headed by
the Nobel Laureate, Dr R K Pachauri in association with ADaRSH
(Association for Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats),
to maximize the conservation and utilization of resources (land, water,
natural habitat, avi fauna, and energy conservation) and enhance
efficiency of the systems and operations.
Set on a land sprawl of 25 acres, Zed Earth is Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL)’s most ambitious green residential project. Zero Energy Houses at ZED Earth are built to be naturally cool, with a combination of elements that are woven into the campus at large. Located in North Bangalore Zed Earth homes hug the landscape, and offer sober and earthy tones that blend with the green around.
Dr. Chandrashekar Hariharan, Executive Chairman, BCIL said, "Zed Earth was adjudged the best green project, achieving a 5-star rating after three months of rigorous inspection and evaluation of various benchmarks and performance parameters by TERI’s rating professionals. We are proud of our achievement that has raised the bar for the industry, setting a standard which will be inspiring for other builders to accomplish.''
Zed homes are exquisitely designed, vaastu-compliant, with high ceilings, interesting gable roofs, terraces and backyards, split levels that accentuate spaces, and private nooks, designed for personal comfort. These zero energy design (ZED) homes offer the best of comfort and convenience, including energy-efficient air-conditioning and independence from the grid for power and water. The Zed Earth campus has zero dependence on the water supply board, no lines connecting to the Sewerage Board and relies only 20% on the power grid. Zed Earth homes offer eco villas, villaments and retirement homes with spaces ranging from 2000 to 6000 sqft.
SVAGRIHA (Small Versatile Affordable GRIHA) was jointly developed by ADaRSH and TERI. SVAGRIHA is a significantly simplified, faster, easier and more affordable rating system and will eventually function as a design-cum-rating tool. SVAGRIHA can help in design and evaluation of individual residences, small offices and commercial buildings. The rating comprises of only 14 criteria and the interface comprises of simplified calculators.

These
calculators can be filled using information from construction drawings
like areas and quantities of materials. Once completed, the tool will
tell the consultant the number of points that they are able to achieve
in that particular criterion and provide recommendations for any
improvements in order to improve the environmental performance of the
building.
