VIT strives for the newest and most effective design, which includes LED and natural lighting, creative cooling that combines a central chiller system, evaporative cooling, and radiant lighting, and open classrooms that allow for cross-breezes and daylighting. Tree cover and vertical gardening can lower cooling expenses while increasing tenant comfort.
To cut down on overall CO2 emissions, we employ cement based on GGBS. Natural lighting and fresh air are features of our structures, such as wind scoop architecture, a historic architectural element used to create passive cooling and natural ventilation. A central chiller water-based HVAC system, LED lighting, a star-rated ceiling fan, energy-efficient five-star pumps and motors, and radiant/surface cooling to lower the HVAC load have all been installed in the majority of our buildings.
Energy efficient fixtures like LEDs, BLDC Fans, VFD lifts, HNS pumps for water supply, occupancy sensor-based appliance control at rest rooms and centralized water-cooled HVACs are used at hostels and academic blocks. This replacement of electrical appliances has considerably lowered the energy consumption.
For improved lighting and lower energy usage, LED bulbs have been installed in the Central Library ceiling at VIT

Solar panels are installed on the roof of VIT buildings, and we use solar energy for a variety of purposes, including geysers and hostel lights.
