A team of eight girls bagged the ‘Best Presentation Award’ at inter-school Junior Science Balvighyan competition organised by Indore Sahodaya group of CBSE schools with their unique concept of green building materials to generate energy.
Over 21 schools had participated in the competition held at a private school on Saturday. The green building concept of energy conservation that helped them win the competition refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
“The concept works mostly on designing of the building, where carefully sized overhangs or awnings protects windows from the summer sun while admitting the sun’s warming rays in winter when it is at a lower angle known as a ground-source heat pump system, consumes no fossil fuels at all, and provides outstanding performance year-round with an extraordinarily low operating cost,” student Neha Joshi and Isha Kawade said.
Nehal Sachdev and Maria Tezabwala explained the concept of using solar panels and generating wind energy to meet the needs of energy in the household. “Further, we can maximize natural light to reduce the need for electrical usage during the day,” they added.
The team was from St Raphael’s Higher Secondary School.
The observers of the team were Nandini Sharma,Vedika Chhangani, Sifti Chhabra and Angelina Armstrong. School principal Sr Jancy Joseph and vice principal Sr Valsa Joseph congratulated them and appreciated their hard-work, perseverance and dedication.
