IGBC Green Homes
CoEvolve Northern Star - near Manyata Tech Park, Bengaluru, has scored a phenomenal 90 points out of the available 100 in the IGBC Green Homes rating system to become one of the greenest developments in India and the highest rated high rise residential building in Karnataka.

CoEvolve Northern Star (CNS) has set a benchmark for water preservation by bringing in water management standards almost never seen in India. Most new developments conserve water through efficient plumbing fixtures and on-site wastewater treatment and reuse it for landscaping and flushing purposes. CNS takes this several notches higher by separating the sullage and sewage at source- both of which are treated using ECOSTP, which uses Biomimicry (functional principles of microorganisms and ecosystem found in a cow’s stomach to turn bad water into good water).

The treated sewage water is reused for landscape irrigation and flushing, while the sullage is treated to almost bottled water standards and supplied for domestic purposes. These, along with a robust rainwater harvesting and reuse system, will make this development almost completely water neutral.

InHabit has facilitated the Indian Green Building Council’s Green Homes certification for CoEvolve Group, Bengaluru.

CNS has shown exceptional performance in energy efficiency with 24% savings and an almost net zero water efficiency with over 98% savings in potable water use. These along with a closed loop solid waste management and solar powered common area lighting will provide residents a much lower cost of living and tremendous resilience during times of drought or power shortages.

The development uses environmentally friendly building materials and high-performance glass. It has set top standards in reducing environmental impact during construction. The buildings have been designed to provide excellent indoor environmental quality through improved daylighting, ventilation and thermal comfort.
