Infosys, a prominent Indian multinational in IT services and consulting, has opened its new office campus in Nagpur. This Infosys office campus sets a benchmark for sustainability and energy efficiency. Spread across 33 acres, the campus accommodates over 3,000 employees. The project has implemented strategies including optimized building form and orientation, as well as the integration of smart building controls. 

The project has been awarded the IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Platinum Rating. It also won first prize in the Green Buildings category at the HUDCO Design Awards in 2023-24.This Infosys campus exemplifies a 21st-century workspace, showcasing innovative design aligned with the company’s long-term sustainability goals.

Orientation

The building’s form and orientation are carefully designed with a distinctive X-shaped plan. Each of the 100-meter-long wings is oriented at 22.5 degrees to the Tropic of Cancer, optimizing solar orientation. This alignment, along with the overall design, ensures 100% shading of all windows and walls. The central intersection forms the core of the structure. Additionally, by limiting the depth of each floor plate to 18 meters, 90% of the workspaces receive ample daylight from both sides.

Fenestration
The fenestration design strategically balances daylight ingress and thermal control. A window-to-wall ratio of less than 30%, coupled with vertical fins along the entire length of the facade, minimizes solar heat gain while maintaining adequate daylight penetration. Fins are oriented at varying angles—40° for workspaces to limit glare and 60° for breakout areas to maximize exterior views. Light shelves further diffuse natural light into interior spaces, reducing glare on workstations. The fins also improve the building’s energy efficiency by limiting solar load to 0.75 W/sq.ft

Thermal Mass
The building features 30-meter-tall RCC walls on the east and west facades that function as art walls while also mitigating the impact of harsh sunlight. Buffer spaces such as staircases and services are placed along these walls.

Landscape
The campus includes a well-planned landscape with native vegetation, which acts as a natural buffer to the building. The low building height maintains proximity to the surrounding landscape, facilitating human-nature interaction. A shaded concourse runs around the building periphery, to enhance pedestrian experience. The surrounding  greenery, bioswales and shading of pathways helps reduce the urban heat island effect and improve the micro-climate.

Smart Building Controls

The campus utilizes advanced smart building controls to enhance operational efficiency and reduce energy wastage. These controls enable real-time monitoring and adjustment of environmental parameters such as lighting, HVAC systems, and temperature. The system adjusts based on factors like occupancy and external weather conditions, ensuring energy is consumed only when required.

Radiant Cooling Systems

A radiant cooling system is deployed at the campus to reduce the reliance on traditional air conditioning systems. The system uses the thermal mass of the concrete slabs to absorb and dissipate heat, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.

High-Efficiency HVAC System

The campus is equipped with high-efficiency HVAC units that dynamically adjust airflow and cooling based on internal and external temperature fluctuations. This ensures that energy is used only when necessary and at optimal levels, improving overall energy performance while providing comfort to the occupants.

Lighting System with Motion and Daylight Sensors

The lighting system incorporates motion and daylight sensors that adjust the lighting based on occupancy and natural light availability. When daylight levels are sufficient, the system dims or switches off artificial lighting, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Energy Monitoring Systems

Energy monitoring systems are installed throughout the campus to provide real-time feedback on energy consumption patterns. These systems allow for ongoing optimization and fine-tuning of energy usage, ensuring that every aspect of the building’s operation is as efficient as possible.

Infosys Campus, Nagpur

Infosys Nagpur is designed to achieve net-zero energy. It focuses on sustainability, featuring elements that reduce the building’s energy consumption considerably. This approach not only reduces the campus’s environmental impact now but also sets the stage for increased use of clean energy in the future.
