RUA conducted the green building design and certification of Nahar Excalibur, a high-end theme-based residential project located in the bustling neighbourhood of Mahalaxmi in Mumbai.

Sustainability Features:

• Glass fibre-reinforced concrete panels used in the parking lot to provide abundant daylight and natural ventilation;
• Greater ceiling heights in the apartments to facilitate thermal comfort for the occupants; rainwater harvesting;
• An on-site sewage treatment plant; implementation of a strategy for solid waste segregation, collection and disposal;
• The project has also adopted sustainable practices during the construction process to preserve natural resources and prevent the disposal of valuable recyclable materials into landfill.
• The entire interior blockwork is made up of autoclaved aerated cement (AAC) blocks which contain fly ash, a waste from thermal power plants. MIVAN technology was adopted to avoid the use of an external plaster. Materials like green-tinted glass from Saint Gobain and the ready-mix concrete consisting of a certain percentage of recycled content were used for the construction.
• A provision of a charging facility for four electric vehicles (E.V) is made on the ground floor, encouraging the use of EV over conventional vehicles to reduce carbon emissions.
