Renewable energy technologies installed on site:
31% outdoor lighting powered by solar energy.
10% annual energy requirement for internal artificial lighting proposed to be met by solar energy.
Solar Water Heating system Installed.
Reduction in energy consumption (compared to TERI GRIHA benchmark) while
maintaining occupant comfort:
• ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) compliant building envelope.
• Installed air conditioning system based on Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV)
• Energy efficient lighting systems.

The following strategies were adopted to reduce the impact of the proposed building on natural environment:
Sustainable Site Planning:
• Roads were regularly sprinkled with water for dust control; wheel-washing was done for vehicles at entry and exit of the site.
• Dust screens provided around construction area to prevent air pollution.
• Top soil stored and preserved on adjacent site for later use.
• Utility corridors designed along roads and pathways on site.
Ensure health and well-being of construction workers on site:
• Sanitation/safety facilities for construction workers provided as per NBC 2005.
• Clean and hygienic accommodation, toilet facilities and safe drinking water provided to all workers on site.

Reduction in water consumption (compared to TERI GRIHA benchmark):

61.1% reduction in building water consumption by use of low-flow fixtures.0
Waste water recycled and reused within the complex.
Reduction in landscape water consumption by planting native species of trees and shrubs and by installing efficient irrigation systems.
HVAC : Energy Efficiency Measures
Efficient Envelope - Roof Insulation, Wall Insulation
Efficient Lighting
High Performance Glazing
Variable refrigerant volume based air conditioning system (5tons-15tons for 2BHK, 3BHK, 4BHK and 5BHK)
VRV systems used in the towers
Water
Water efficient landscaping is being practiced to minimize post construction water usage. This is being done by providing native secies, efficient irrigation
systems and by limiting lawn areas. The building water consumption also has been reduced by use of high efficiency low flow fixtures. The construction
water management on site is very efficient in terms of reuse of waste water and less utilization of potable water in construction.
Building design and energy
The building design has also included the existing site features, such as, the visual linkages with historical monuments, solar geometry, and so on. Due to
high density planning requirements, the design did not permit optimum orientation for all apartment blocks, As a result, the apartment blocks have equal
exposure towards all cardinal directions. However, the critical facades are shaded and have high performance glazing to negate impact of direct incident
radiation. The buildings are fully compliant with the Energy Conservation Building Code 2007. Several energy efficiency measures such as roof insulation,
high performance glazing, energy efficient lighting and variable refrigerant volume (VRV) based air conditioning system have been provided to reduce the
energy consumption of the apartments significantly.
Renewable Energy
Solar photovoltaic system has been proposed to meet 10% of total energy requirements for internal lighting. 31% of outdoor lighting has been provided
through solar energy. Solar hot water systems have been provided to meet part of water heating needs.

CONCLUSION :
The Commonwealth Games Village (CWG Village) in New Delhi is a prime example of sustainable and high-end urban residential
development. Originally designed as a temporary accommodation for athletes during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the project has
since transformed into a sought-after luxury residential community. The architectural design and master planning emphasize
sustainability, energy efficiency, and modern living, making it a significant case study in contemporary Indian urban housing.
Urban Planning and Spatial Efficiency
The 27-acre site is planned as an integrated township, balancing built-up spaces with 30% dedicated to landscaped green areas. The
zoning strategy ensures well-defined spaces for residential blocks, recreational zones, commercial hubs, and green corridors. The layout
optimizes land use while maintaining a pedestrian-friendly environment, reducing dependency on vehicular transport within the
complex. The presence of podium gardens, tree-lined avenues, and open courtyards enhances community interaction and livability.
Architectural Design and Climate Responsiveness
The architectural design of the village is based on modern aesthetics and functional efficiency. The 34 residential towers, ranging from 6
to 9 stories, are strategically oriented to maximize natural daylight and cross-ventilation. The north-south orientation minimizes heat
gain, making indoor spaces thermally comfortable. The use of double-glazed windows, shaded balconies, and earth-tone finishes
enhances both aesthetics and energy efficiency.
The unit typologies range from 2 BHK to 5 BHK apartments and penthouses, designed with open-plan layouts, large balconies, and
floor-to-ceiling windows. The incorporation of aluminum formwork technology during construction ensures durability, precision, and
faster completion of the project.
Sustainability and Green Building Features
One of the standout aspects of the CWG Village is its commitment to sustainability, earning a Gold Rating under the IGBC Green
Township Rating System. Key green features include:
Energy Efficiency: The installation of solar panels for street lighting and water heating reduces reliance on conventional energy
sources.
Water Management: A rainwater harvesting system, low-flow fixtures, and a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) contribute to water
conservation and recycling.
Eco-Friendly Materials: The use of fly ash bricks, low-VOC paints, and locally sourced materials minimizes the project’s carbon
footprint.
Structural Integrity and Disaster Resilience
The township follows an earthquake-resistant RCC framed structure, ensuring structural stability and safety in a seismic-prone region.
The efficient load distribution across the towers enhances their resilience against natural disasters.
