Developing and Designing the Energy Efficient Model for NRSC, IMGEOS Data Center using e-Quest Software

More than 1/3 rd. of the energy is consumed by the buildings in the world. The construction industry has grown very rapidly over the past 3 decades and is consuming a lot of natural resources and energy. It is the need of the hour to design and develop innovative technologies that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Developing sustainable building infrastructure mainly focuses on energy efficiency, limited use of natural resources, water conservation, and reducing emissions. Energy efficiency is the main part of sustainability. In this research, we propose a strategy for incorporating solar passive techniques to obtain energy efficiency in an ISRO Data centre by using sustainable green building technology [1]. The maximum building operation maintenance costs are due to the use of electrical energy usage. This research study explains the design strategies to be considered for making the building energy efficient. The study explains the details of the various construction materials along with their technical properties used in the buildings for achieving energy efficiency. ASHRAE has set up the baseline model for energy efficiency in the buildings. We used e-Quest simulation software for finding out the most energy efficient model for the project. Different scenarios with different parameters are evaluated by using the e-Quest software and are compared with the ASHRAE baseline model to find out the most energy efficient scenario. Thus, this research explains the design strategies and the methodology to be adopted for building sustainable and energy-efficient data centers.
