Hyderabad: Cyberabad civic body plans net-zero office at Izzat Nagar

The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation has initiated the process to build a permanent office complex for the newly formed civic body at Izzat Nagar.

The corporation has floated a tender to appoint a consultant for preparing the detailed project report, architectural and structural designs, drawings and other allied works for the proposed office building.

The consultancy will have to design the facility to achieve net-zero certification during both the design and operational phases.

The tender specifies targets for net-zero energy, net-zero water, net-zero waste-to-landfill and net-zero carbon. Certification will be pursued under applicable IGBC or GRIHA rating systems.

The proposed complex will also have a parking facility with more than 500 equivalent car spaces.

The parking arrangement will earmark 60 per cent of spaces for staff, 25 per cent for visitors, 5 per cent for VIPs and 10 per cent for service vehicles. Parking for two-wheelers will also be provided.

At least 10 per cent of the parking spaces must be active EV bays. The infrastructure will have provision for 100 per cent future expansion of EV charging capacity.

The consultant appointed for the project will also assist the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation in securing building permission, a Fire NOC and permission from the Airports Authority of India.

Technical assistance will also be provided for obtaining technical sanction.

The tender is currently for consultancy services related to the proposed office complex, including preparation of the DPR and design documents.

The proposed building is therefore at the planning and design stage, with the tender aimed at appointing the consultant required to take the project forward.
