The Export-Import Bank of India’s new office stands as a beacon of modernity and sustainability in the bustling capital city of Delhi. Designed to accommodate a growing staff capacity, the office embodies a ‘no barrier’ concept, maximising open spaces and embracing the idea of ‘co-working’ to its fullest potential. From its inception, sustainability has been at the forefront, with all materials selected for their green credentials and minimal carbon footprint. Vibrant colours, efficient working spaces, and a strategic location in East Kidwai Nagar make this office a shining example of environmental and social sustainability.

The office’s work pool area is a pioneer in lighting design, with each workstation featuring smart DISC lighting, giving each individual their unique identity in the large office environment. Vibrant carpet flooring adds character to the space, with colours chosen to differentiate between travelling paths and working areas. A central WELL for discussion encourages informal gatherings and enhances transparency in the workplace. The office is planned as an open working space, maximising natural light even in a centrally air-conditioned building. To minimise its environmental impact, the office incorporates several green features. The base building’s HVAC equipment and air conditioners are free from ozone-depleting substances. An efficient artificial lighting system has reduced lighting power density by 64% over the base case. Low-flow fixtures and a building management system reduce water consumption and energy usage. The interior design of the Export-Import Bank has achieved the prestigious IGBC Platinum rating, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and environmental excellence.
