The entire building is raised above the ground and a scooped out under
belly forms a natural thermal sink which is cooled by water bodies
through evaporative cooling. These water bodies are fed by the recycled
water from the sewage treatment plant and help in the creation of a
microclimate through evaporative cooling.
The materials used for construction are a mix of local stone, steel,
glass, and concrete chosen keeping in mind the climatic needs of the
region while retaining the progressive design intent. Energy efficiency
is a prime concern and the institute is 100% self sufficient in terms of
captive power and water supply and promotes rain water harvesting and
waste water re-cycling.
