Criterion 11: Achieving indoor comfort requirements (visual/ thermal/ acoustic)

• Spaces eligible for daylight analysis
• Method for SHGC calculation for jali system
• SRR, SHGC and VLT calculation for skylight
• Compliance methodology for buildings with WWR>60%
• SHGC value for a residential building in warm and humid climate.
• Nature and Artificial daylight
• Meeting thermal comfort in a non-air-conditioned residential building.
• Indoor/Outdoor noise monitoring
• How should the compliance for daylight be met in a building? Is it calculated floor wise or consolidated per building?
• Are the noise levels to be monitored only during the occupied hours of the building, or between 6 am to 9 pm as specified in GRIHA Manual?
• Will SRR be calculated for a hospital building with central open courtyard, which is not conditioned and has proposed landscape features?
• Can report generated through Revit software be used as a thermal comfort compliance document?
• Why is thermal comfort required in circulation spaces where human activity is extremely low?
• Is there a change in the SHGC values in GRIHA V 3 and GRIHA 2015?
• Is Autodesk Ecotect 2011 a validated software and can it be used for Daylight Simulation?
• Which simulation software can be used for demonstrating compliance with Criterion 11 that is accepted by GRIHA?
• In case of a hospital, can areas such as lift lobbies, corridors, waiting rooms be exempted from SHGC Calculations?
• What are the percentage hours of time for meeting the Indian adaptive comfort requirement?
• What parameters should be considered in case artificial lighting compliance is being demonstrated through measurement?
• Will the project comply with the SHGC requirement, if SHGC for commercial space is 0.25 and 0.45 for residential spaces in case of a mixed use building in composite climate?
• Can the requirement for SRR be exempted for non-FAR areas such as Atriums?
• Should bedrooms and living rooms be considered as conditioned for thermal comfort compliance if they have been considered as conditioned while simulating for Criterion 14
• What is the maximum SHGC requirement for Court office building?
• Can we show compliance through measurement of artificial lighting level where IES files are unavailable?
• Is the project exempted from the artificial lighting criterion if it is a day use office building?
• Can we show compliance through Alternative 2 in Criterion 11 if we are unable to show compliance in terms of the WWR?
• Can we conform to the State Pollution Control Boards’ Noise standard to comply with Criterion 29.3.2, GRIHA V3 in case of airports?
• If we opt for Alternative 2 of Criterion 11, do we need to comply with ECBC mandatory requirement for SHGC and U value of glass?
• Are there any minimum fresh air quantity limits for occupied spaces for simulation purpose
• Is there any minimum door-window opening size requirement under GRIHA 2015?
