SAMPLE PROBLEM STATEMENT : Smart & Sustainable Campus Block

Theme: Sustainable Design | Energy Efficiency | Construction Planning


Problem Statement:
Your institution plans to redevelop an existing academic block into a Net-Zero Energy and Water Building. The
design should be cost-effective, feasible with locally available materials, and showcase replicable green
building strategies.

Key Expectations:

• Energy and water efficiency using passive and active design features

• Integration of renewable energy systems (solar, daylighting, ventilation)

• Life cycle cost estimation and ROI analysis

Deliverables:

• Design drawings (plans, elevations, sections)

• Sustainability strategy sheet (materials, energy, water)

• Cost and time estimation

Evaluation Focus:
Sustainability | Feasibility | Design Quality | Cost Optimization

SAMPLE PROBLEM STATEMENT : Retrofitting a Public School for Energy Efficiency

Theme: Building Services | Retrofit Design | Sustainability


Problem Statement:
An old government school has high energy bills and poor ventilation. Develop an energy retrofit plan using low-
cost design and mechanical solutions.

Key Expectations:

• Energy audit and savings estimation

• Passive design retrofits (lighting, shading, ventilation)

• Solar rooftop or efficiency systems

Deliverables:

• Building plan with retrofit details

• Energy savings summary

• Cost and ROI chart

Evaluation Focus:
Energy Efficiency | Feasibility | Innovation | Cost
