Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Town Planners& Project Management ConsultantsPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10There is a small shrine on the way from the Shamlaji Temple to the Meshwo river, where an image of a standing Ganesha idol from the late-Gupta period is still worshiped. The temple at Harishchandra ni chori probably dates to the 10th century A.D. It has a rectangular sanctum with a large pavilion in front. The whole structure is enclosed within the courtyard. The walls of this courtyard have fallen down but the ornamental gateway (torana) still stands. Numerous temples in ruins, ancient brick-work and scattered idols found at Shamlaji show that since ancient times it has been a popular and important center of pilgrimage on the highway between Gujarat and Rajasthan. Its antiquity has been further proved by the recent finds of a Buddhist stupa and a vihar at Dev-ni-Mori about a mile and a half from Shamlaji. The stupa is considered a sharir stupa i.e., one containing a fragment of the mortal remains of the Buddha. SHAMLAJI TEMPLE

Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Town Planners& Project Management ConsultantsPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Being a place of pilgrimage established at a picturesque spot, there are several other ancient shrines scattered all over this place. Amongst them is the small temple of Trilokeshwer just opposite Shamlaji has a beautiful and unusual idol of Shiva with the trident. The Kashi-Vishwanath Mahadev is a simple but ancient temple, which is about seven feet below the ground level. The temple of Ranchhodji, is on the opposite bank. There is also the tomb of Navgaja Pir, a maulvi (muslim cleric) close by visited by many Adivasis. SHAMLAJI TEMPLE Remains of shrines of different religions show that the whole area roundabout Shamlaji was once not only prosperous but an important center of civilization and culture.

Sustainable strategiesPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10The Three-Step Strategy, developed by the TU Delft in the Netherlands and recognized as very useful by the UN-conference in Kyoto, sees a building, structure or even an entire neighbourhood as an object.

The aim is to bring IN the object as little as possible and as wisely as possible. Is it once made, then prevent OUT as far as possible and wisely deal with pollution and waste.

Sustainable strategiesPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10The steps are taken that as much as possible measures are taken in step 1, if this can not be justified anymore, take then as much as possible from step 2 and finally a residual demand for step 3. IN: 1. Limit question: avoid unnecessary use 2. Sustainable use / endless sources 3. Use finite resources wisely OUT: 1. Avoid waste / pollution 2. Recycling waste / pollution 3. Process (other) waste / pollution wise

Energy StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Energy is the most important issue on sustainability as long as we dont have only renewable energy. Because fossil energy makes about 80% out of the total environmental burden during the lifespan of a building.

Step 1. Limit the energy demand (well insulated and airtight building) With the right measurements we can save 40% energy for lighting and 60% energy for AC (make a passive building, well isolated)

Energy StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Step 2. Use renewable energy sources (ground heat, solar energy, wind, etc.)

We decided to take 80% of our energy need out of wind energy and 20% from solar cells, that means we have 100% renewable energy. (we dont use fossil energy anymore so no step 3)

Material StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10

Material StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10For the materials it is important and our aim to make a building which does not need maintaining, or at least as minimum as possible. Because one of the biggest problems is, when you make a beautiful building, it looks after 20 years ugly while it is not main taint. So we look for materials who become without maintaining every year more beautiful in stead of more ugly.

Material StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Step 1. Avoid unnecessary use (build as little as possible, build light, etc.)Step 2. Use endless sources (local materials, bulk material and biotic materials that grow as local stone and wood)Step 3. Use not sustainable materials as less as possible (no PVC, no cupper, etc.)

Water StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10

Water StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10There is no water system near the site, that means we need to for see in our own water needs. For the expected 130.000 visitors/year within 10 year we need 7.000 m3/yr water, of witch 350 m3/yr drinking water. If possible we try to close the water cycle on the site.

Water StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Step 1. Limit the water demand (use other water quality if possible) The water use is constant about 150 l/pp/pd for full lodging and for visitors about 45 l/pp/pd. But the need for drinking water quality is about 3 l/pp/pd, all the other water need can be of other quality water.

Water StrategyPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10Step 2. Use renewable water sources (rain water, etc.) To close the water cycle, we can clean our used water with a helophyte filter, the out coming water is as clean enough for washing water, shower water and toilet water. Because there will some water evaporate we need still some extra water, that can come from rainwater. For drinking water we count that half of it will be mineral water in bottles and the other half can be cleaned rainwater.With this system we can close the water cycle and we have a sustainable watering system!

Conclusions SustainabilityPROJECT CODE :ITD/01/09-10It is possible to have the energy full renewable with 80% wind energy and 20% solar energyWe can be as sustainable as possible with the building materials We close the water cycle and do not need extra waterIn that case this will be the most sustainable buildings in India
