The following tables indicate requirements of the building and will be judged on point basis. They indicate only the bare minimum of what we wish you to achieve. Your innovation and understanding of sustainable design in any category will result in higher marks. Judges will evaluate how the ideas you demonstrate work together to produce a high performance, energy efficient building for Energy Department of IIT Bombay. (You will be graded on scale of 5).
