JAL- Water efficient fixtures Targets 50 water
savings over the base line

• Water Efficient Fixtures
• Urinals 0.8 LPF
• Water Closet 4 LPF
• Faucets 2.7 LPM
• Showerhead 6 LPM

20
Storm Water / Rainwater Storage And Harvesting

• Capturing 100 of rainwater from roof and
  non-roof surface.
• Filtering the rain-water through filtration beds.
• Storing the rain water (76 cu. m.)
• Stored rainwater then further reused in
  irrigation.
• Recharging the filtered rainwater (overflow)
  through the recharge well (bore-well).

21
Energy Efficiency

• TARGET ENERGY SAVINGS gt 40
• Use of CFC/HCFC free refrigerants in HVAC and
  Fire Suppression Systems.
• Using highly efficient chillers having COP of
  6.1.
• Thermal Energy Storage System
• Energy Efficient Interior and Exterior Lighting
  (Mix use of LEDs and CFLs)
• Maximum use of daylight in all regularly occupied
  spaces.
• Energy monitoring of utilities using energy
  meters and power analyzer.

22
Off-site Green Power Investment

• The company has installed 3 windmills with the
  capacity of 800 kW each totaling to 2.4 MW.
• The power generated from one windmill is utilized
  for running company engaged in diamond cutting
  polishing.
• The rest of power generated from the other two
  (2) windmills i.e. 1.6 MW is sold to Gujarat
  Electricity Board (GEB) at a concessional rate of
  Rs. 3.31/unit as against around Rs. 7/unit.
• This power is then utilized by Gujarat
  Electricity in supply to small scale, cottage
  industries and for other social causes.
