The green building revolution beckons!


Spire World’s greenest offer

The real estate industry in India is a rapidly changing industry. Every little while there is a new development that has a certain impact on business operations, economy or society in general. But how often have you seen a certain building, particularly a commercial complex, make a positive impact on the environment? Enter SpireEdge, a multiple award winning mainstream green office complex that has been designed to facilitate business growth and ecological conservation harmoniously. Hosting IT/ITes businesses specifically, this Spire World project is a sustainable architecture that seeks to cut down on non-renewable energy and thereby almost fully remove air and water pollution in the vicinity.

Features of the green office complex

The Spire Edge Manesar is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) platinum and gold rated office complex that has been adjudged as the world’s best office development by CNBC. The aim of this certified green building is to offer a healthy work environment with the help of innovative and eco-friendly technologies. The complex has been built in such a way that natural daylight gets through to almost 98% of the occupied building without heating it up. This would result in almost 30% energy savings, while water harvesting and recycling technology makes sure that the use of portable water is reduced by over 40%. The complex houses nine lakh sq ft of adapt-to-suit offices, about two lakh sq ft vertically joined spaces, lifts and common meeting rooms.

The many benefits of a green building

The benefits of the Spire Edge IMT, Manesar are multi-pronged, including:

  • Over 30% energy savings.
  • Cutting water usage by 40%.
  • Cutting down production of solid waste by 70%.
  • Emission of 35% lesser green house gas.
  • Increasing employee productivity by about 10% compared to non-green offices.
  • Boosting corporate value.

Hope we have got more realtors who have a similar interest in the need of restoring greenery – and more so, in being ‘with’ the nature!
