An institutional school project in Kalyani Nagar, Pune - designed with daylighting strategies, passive ventilation and climate-responsive architecture for a better learning environment.
We were engaged to evaluate and enhance the environmental performance of a school campus in Kalyani Nagar, Pune. The project was already under construction when we joined, requiring performance improvements within the constraints of an established architectural design.
Working alongside Saket Saraf, I collaborated with the project architect to assess the building's performance and identify practical design interventions that could improve comfort, energy efficiency, and overall building performance without significant redesign.
Since construction was already underway, the focus was on identifying interventions that could realistically be incorporated during execution rather than redesigning the building from the ground up. The recommendations prioritized solutions that balanced performance improvements with constructability and project timelines.
Building Performance & Sustainability Consultant
Our role involved applying simulation-based building science tools to quantify the impact of design decisions and support the project team in making informed, performance-driven choices.
Even when a building is already under construction, performance analysis can uncover opportunities to improve comfort, daylight, and energy efficiency. This project demonstrated how targeted interventions—supported by quantitative analysis—can enhance building performance without fundamentally altering the architectural vision.
