1.3 BEA Intervention in ‘Home Sweet Home’ Project, Nagpur Considering the scale of construction being undertaken by the government and developers under the
affordable housing segment, ensuring comfort to the building occupants through integration of passive
design strategies and enhancing energy efficiency of the project without compromising on the cost
effectiveness is desirable.
As part of the BEA initiative in Nagpur, it is intended to evaluate the design and specifications of the
affordable housing project ‘Home Sweet Home’, undertaken by the NSSCDCL, to identify energy efficiency
opportunities and passive design strategies that can positively impact the affordable housing project.
Furthermore, based on the design review of two affordable housing buildings, ICLEI South Asia intends to
develop a technical building efficiency guidelines which will be included in tender documents and also guide
design and construction of all new affordable housing buildings in Nagpur city.
Around 4000 affordable dwelling units are proposed to be built under this ‘Home Sweet Home’ project for 3
different income groups (Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low Income Group (LIG) and Medium Income
Group (MIG)). A total number of 1024 dwelling units are planned in the 1st phase of the project and will be
built on a identified plot in the areas of Pardi, Bharatwada, Punapur and Bhandewadi, which come under the
Area Based Development strategy of Nagpur’s Smart City project.
In line with the interest of NSSCDCL in integrating green building principles into the design of affordable
housing buildings, preliminary design for the project has been prepared. The design includes green building
aspects like rain water harvesting, recessed windows for shading, building orientation and Solar Power. The
land parcels for construction of the affordable housing units have been identified and work order has been
issued to a building contractor to initiate the construction activity. Through discussions with NSSCDCL, it was
deduced that there are opportunities for identifying interventions to improve building energy efficiency and
then incorporating them into the design of the proposed 1024 affordable housing units.
2 Description of Services
2.1 Purpose of the project The main objectives of this assignment are to evaluate the building design and specifications of the ‘Home
Sweet Home’ affordable housing project and suggest design changes to enhance energy efficiency of the
building and comfort levels for the residents. The specific objectives of the assignment are as follows:
1. To evaluate the building design of two affordable housing buildings to be constructed by NSSCDCL
for energy efficiency, thermal and visual comfort level and suggest improvements in building design
and layout plan.
2. To identify passive technologies and design interventions that can improve the energy efficiency of
the two buildings without compromising on the cost of the project.
3. To assess the feasibility of using energy efficient lighting and equipment for the two buildings.
4. To assess the potential of deploying on-site renewable energy systems in the affordable housing
project
5. Based on the design review for two buildings, co-develop along with ICLEI South Asia team, technical
guidelines which will promote adoption of building efficiency and green building measures in future
affordable housing projects. The technical guidelines will succinctly indicate technical specifications
and standards for design and construction and is intended to be incorporated in tender documents
for all future affordable housing that will come up in Nagpur.
The consultant(s) should refer to ongoing developmental and public sector driven initiatives of the Indo-Swiss
Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP), Shakti Foundation, Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), GRIHA,
Public Works Department, HUDCO and others as relevant, in the sphere of affordable housing in order to
identify successful and emerging practices on improved energy efficiency and green building principles and
experiences thereof. Alignment should also be sought with building efficiency standards such as Energy
Conservation Building Codes (ECBC).
2.2 Scope of Work
2.2.1 Objective 1: Building design evaluation Review all available building design and specifications (including architectural and engineering designs)
documents as relevant for the affordable housing project. It is to be noted that the preliminary design
prepared for the project already incorporates certain green building design aspects like building orientation,
recessed windows for shading etc. Therefore, the objective is to conduct a detailed assessment of the
building plans and design specifications to identify and establish areas and opportunities for improvement
with regard to the comfort level of the occupants (thermal and visual) and energy efficiency opportunities
for two selected affordable housing buildings.
Out of the total number of building blocks proposed on the designated plot for different income groups, 2
buildings would have to be chosen for design evaluation by the consultant(s) jointly with NSSCDCL and ICLEI
South Asia team. The thermal and daylighting performance of these two buildings should be assessed such
that the geographical location of the city, temperature variations over a period of time, climatic conditions,
wind patterns etc., are accounted for. While reviewing the existing design of the building blocks, the
consultant(s) should cover at minimum the following:
Siting and Orientation of the building
Shading features of the building envelope
Fenestrations and associated leakages
Natural Ventilation
U - factor of wall (OTTV and RTTV)
Roof treatment and Heat Island Effect
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) of windows
Solar reflectance of exterior wall
Building materials
The architectural and engineering plans of the project are ready and the detailed building design, layout plans
and existing tender specifications of the selected building blocks will be shared with the consultant(s) at the
time of commencement of the assignment. The approximate built-up area of each dwelling unit under this
project is summarized below.
EWS LIG MIG
500 sq. ft.
950 sq. ft
1200 sq. ft
Expected Output: Post the design evaluation process, any design modifications suggested by the
consultant(s) should be supported by a brief report containing the modified drawings, specific parameters
