Solar energy offers these advantages

over conventional energy:

■ Free after recovering upfront capital costs. Payback time can be relatively short.

■ Available everywhere and inexhaustible.

■ Clean, reducing demand for fossil fuels and hydroelectricity, and their environmental drawbacks.

■ Can be building-integrated, which can reduce energy distribution needs.

Building Energy’s team of experienced solar professionals will help you understand, assess, and plan the solar energy solution that best meets your needs. We will work as your partner through all the various stages of solar system implementation including site assessment, component selection, and installation.

A Site Assessment includes a shading analysis, roof inspection and review of your existing mechanical systems. We will also review your recent utility bills with you so that we can recommend the best system to meet your energy requirements.

Building design issues Careful solar design can:

■ Maximize possible solar transmission and absorption in winter to minimize or reduce to zero the heating energy consumption, while preventing overheating.

■ Use received solar gains for instantaneous heating load and store the remainder in embodied thermal mass or specially built storage devices.

■ Reduce heat losses using insulation and windows with high solar heat gain factors.

■ Employ shading control devices or strategically planted deciduous trees to exclude summer solar gains that create additional cooling load.

■ Employ natural ventilation to transfer heat from hot zones to cool zones in winter and for natural cooling in the summer; use ground-source cooling and heating to transfer heat to and from the underground, which is more or less at a constant temperature, and utilize evaporative cooling.

Design procedure

The initial design steps in solar design are to:

1. Set performance targets for energy sources and uses.

2. Minimize heating and cooling loads through orientation, massing, envelope and landscape design.

3. Maximize solar and other renewable energy to meet the building load, then to design efficient systems that are integrated with the building envelope performance characteristics.

4. Use simple energy simulation tools and detailed simulations in evaluating options at the early design stages and later to assess alternatives.

Eco-friendly your home

Indus Valley civilization fails to inspire life in modern times Terracotta or baked earth, that provided the base material for statues and buildings.

Terracotta gives a rustic magic to the decor. So if you want your slice of earthy warm decor then terracotta is for you. The word 'Terracotta' means fired earth. When decorating a room in terracotta, ordinary clay pots might add to the theme, but they are not always impressive. So try carved clay planters and terracotta pots and artifacts in carved designs.

By simply choosing the right fabric, non-toxic paints and other decor articles that are eco-friendly and encourage use of recycled materials, we can make a difference by going organic in home decor.

Design our homes while keeping our eco-consciousness intact.

Photovoltaic cells with Terracotta Roofs

Renewable energy and alternative sources of energy are the buzz words in the building industry today.

Photovoltaic roof: beauty and energy without compromise

Solar roofing is fast becoming the preferred alternative to conventional roof materials with its increasingly recognized economic benefits. The heating and cooling costs can be cut by up to 30%, simply by installing solar roofing systems.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels allow you to generate your own electricity using energy from the sun. They don't need direct sunlight only daylight, so they also work on cloudy days. By generating your own electricity you could save on your energy bills.

Solar roofing is fast becoming the preferred alternative to conventional roof materials with its increasingly recognized economic benefits. The heating and cooling costs can be cut by up to 30%, simply by installing solar roofing systems.

PAIDS's red clay roof tiles terracotta and incorporate photovoltaic panels, as opposed to merely accommodating them. It's a perfect example of how forward-looking, sustainable technology can exist in harmony with traditional architecture.

Green Building

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.

The common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
• Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation. 

A green building depletes as little of the natural resources during its construction and operation.

Green building brings together a vast array of practices, techniques, and skills to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health.

When planning new buildings, PAIDS focuses on a safe and pleasant working environment and on minimizing waste, emissions and energy and water use. 

We are loading our atmosphere with thousands of pounds of CO2 every year. To offset this CO2 , more trees need to be planted. Research and studies show that the Buildings have significant amount of contribution in polluting the environment. 

The verge at which we have brought Mother Nature in our blind run of development is extremely critical and needs a complete green solution, which is ‘Green Building’.

Green Building refers to the incorporation of environment friendly and resource efficient processes at each stage of construction, right from site selection and designing to construction, operation followed by maintenance, renovation or even demolition. The endeavour is to seek minimum possible impact on environment.

Material and Resources

·      Sustainable construction material are chosen keeping in mind various characteristics like zero or low toxicity, high recyclability, zero or low off gassing of harmful air emissions, durability, reused and recycled content, sustainably harvested material.

·      Dimensional planning and other material efficiency strategies are used to reduce the construction costs. Construction and demolition material can be reused and recycled for e.g. inert demolition material can be used as base course for landfills. Proper planning for managing materials through deconstruction, demolition and construction is done.  Efficient planning of utilities to minimize

·     Utilization of rapidly renewable materials, such as bamboo flooring, wool carpets, strawboard, cotton ball insulation (made from denim scrap), genuine linoleum flooring, or poplar oriented-strand board (OSB). Using rapid renewable helps reduce the use and depletion of finite raw material.

·      Use of materials that are available locally is preferred over materials that need to be brought from distant places. It saves transportation costs. Also, alternative materials that can be generated from waste with lesser energy is used over conventional building materials.

Energy efficiency

Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy consumption – both the embodied energy required to extract, process, transport and install building materials and operating energy to provide services such as heating and power for equipment.
