Final Review:
the project has provided a centralized sewage
treatment plant having a capacity of 4 KLD to treat
97% of the waste water generated on-site. The
technical write-up of the treatment plant has been
submitted along with the drawing showing the
location of the installed STP.
The calculations submitted indicate that the amount
of waste water (grey & black) generated is 4125 liters per day and 3506 liters per day is available
for reuse (considering 85% efficiency of STP). The water balance submitted also states that 1848
liters per day is required for landscaping and 600 liters per day is required for flushing. The
project team have not opted for dual plumbing and intend to meet only the landscape demand
through treated waste water. which amounts to using 75.5% of treated waste water. Since 75.5
% of the treated waste water is reused 1 point are awarded and since 97 % of the waste water
generated is treated 2 points are awarded. During the site visit carried out by the IGBC
Certification team it was observed that the project team had installed a 50 KLD STP to treat
and reuse the waste water.

Energy savings are achieved in each Zed home by incorporating several energy
efficient measures such as energy efficient CFLs , low energy fans (28-40 W), ETHE
cooling systems, solar water heating systems etc. (Zed Woods does not have ETHE cooling
system, instead they have 5 star rated ACs)
Solar Hot Water Systems as compared to conventional geyser account for more than 50%
energy savings
Centralised Natural ETHE (Earth Tube Heat exchanging) coupled with ECS (Evaporative
Cooling System) is a unique fresh air based air conditioning system which consumes 50%

Waste:
Kitchen wastes are segregated into organic /inorganic wastes.
Organic waste goes to the vermicomposting pits where they are converted into
Vermicomposting, a nutrient-rich natural fertilizer and soil conditioner to be used for the
garden.
Black water from the toilets and bathroom proceed toward the Sewage Treatment Plant, an
anaerobic digester where 70% of the biological matter is decomposed.
Grey water proceeds to a de centralized water treatment system, which then passes through
a root zone treatment system.
This water is used for irrigation of herbs, plants and grass.

Air:

TZed's ACs brings 100% fresh-air compared to the regular AC, which gets only 80% fresh air
in over 24 hours of working. Every bedroom is cooled: use a combination of earth tunnel
ventilation and evaporative cooling to give you high Indoor Air Quality

STP IN Zed Collective.

Residents.

Domestic Sewage is generated from the apart tents toilets, baths, showers, kitchens and storm water drains that is
disposed of via sewers. The total sewage capacity is about 80 kilolitres per day.

Solution

The black water coming from the toilets passes through a Primary Treatment including a bar screen to protect the plant
from larger-sized objects. This is followed by a Submerged Aerator Fixed Film (SAFF) Reactor that uses totally

submerged fixed media to support t biomass growing as a thin bio film on their surfaces. The air in form of fine
bubbles coming from the bottom of tank comes in contact with Water & SAFF media. The tank is provided with fine
bubble non-clog diffusers for the biological oxidation of sewage. This system is capable of handling shock loads with
high efficiency and is easier to operate. The overflow of SAFF tank is taken in to the Tube Settler. The Ter tary
Treatment includes Multi-grade Filter and Activated Carbon Filter. The treated water tank provides recycled water for
gardening, which has a BOD less than 20 mg/litre. The size of the black water treatment plant is 25 kilo litres per day.

The 55 kilo litres per day grey water treatment for the water coming from the kitchen and the showers, follows a
parallel treatment scheme. But the water from the activated carbon filter is passed through a 1250 litres per hour ultra
filtration system, which has membranes with a pore size of 0.01 micron. This system removes BOD levels to less
than 2 ppm, making the water extra-pure for any non-potable reuse requirement like toilet flushing. The UF membranes
also remove all microbiological contamination, and this is the first project in India in the building sector using this
technology.
