AIT Technologies

With energy and water efficiency as top government priorities in India, AIT works with its clients to develop and introduce key sustainable building technologies to promote superior building performance. These technologies address:

• Energy Efficiency
  AIT maximizes cost-effective energy savings by optimizing the building envelope, lighting, equipment, HVAC and distributed energy systems, such as photovoltaics, fuel cells, and micro turbines.
• Water Efficiency and Landscaping
  AIT reduces water consumption for landscaping and indoor needs using on-site water distribution systems, proper plant selection and efficient cooling towers, fixtures and irrigation technology.
• Sustainable Materials
  AIT recommends materials that reduce toxic emissions to the indoor air and have a reduced life cycle environmental impact.
• Indoor Environmental Quality
  AIT creates healthy, productive indoor spaces that indoor air quality; daylighting and views; building acoustics.

Energy Efficiency

Globally, buildings account for roughly 45% of primary energy use and over 40% of the climate emissions. The industrial energy to manufacture building materials contributes between 5-15% of this.

AIT's projects typically save 50% energy or more--and as high as 70%--on lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation energy use. We achieve these savings by integrating technology and design across building systems in a cost-effective manner.

Water Efficiency and Landscaping

On average, 80% of the global water supply treated for human use is consumed in buildings. Combining proper landscaping treatments with indoor water-saving technology can reduce potable water needs by over 50%.

As in the energy area AIT uses integration techniques to reduce water consumption significantly. We expect that water will be a significant constraint on building development in the future and AIT can help developers create their projects within these constraints.

Sustainable Materials

Conventional buildings consume 30-40% of all available material resources every year.

AIT uses a lifecycle assessment approach to evaluating materials for projects. Not only should materials perform well and look beautiful indoors, the materials we chose should leave a beautiful outdoors as well.

Indoor Environmental Quality

As populations urbanize and people spend more time indoors, they are exposed to cooking and cigarette smoke, chemicals and biological contaminants that cause health problems, lost productivity and lower quality of life.

The value of worker salaries in a building is much greater than the cost of energy or operations and maintenance. Providing a healthy, clean and productive indoor environment is the most cost-effective strategy a company can have.
