Case Study
Infinity Benchmark, located in Salt Lake region of Kolkata, is a huge 20 storied, 71.64 meter high building covering a floor are 560,000 square feet. It offers infrastructure solutions to IT and ITES industries. The developers began the project with the objective of producing an environment-friendly built environment that would change the mindset of the city dwellers and developers about being content with the traditional building methods. It became Kolkata’s first platinum rated structure on its completion, starting a trend that will ensure a better living environment for the dwellers of this city of joy. Their architectural uninventiveness combined environmental values with a futuristic outlook to ensure a structure that rated high on each count-water conservation, energy use optimization, waste management and protection of environment.
It is a Platinum rated Green Building as certified by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) under LEED Core & Shell ver. 2.0. This is amongst 7 such buildings in the world, 2nd outside USA and the first in eastern India. The building has the maximum flexibility and cost efficiency for activities ranging from wet laboratories to software development, IT services, and even data centres. Well connected roads and with the nearby International airport, Infinity Benchmark is easily accessible for the working community. Tenants are also within the building such as restaurants, cafes, food court, business centres, ATMs, banks, medicine shops.

Extra Features
Solar Panels
Solar panels installed on residential apartment rooftops harness sunlight to generate electricity, providing a sustainable energy source. Integrated with the building's electrical system, they offer cost savings and environmental benefits.
Rain Water Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting involves installing a collection system on the roof, storing water in tanks, filtering it, integrating with plumbing, educating residents, and ensuring maintenance for sustainability and reduced reliance on municipal water.
Unique Features
Geothermal Ventilation
Geothermal ventilation uses Earth's stable temperature for efficient heating and cooling, cutting energy costs and emissions in green buildings.
Biogas Chamber
Biogas chambers turn organic waste into methane for cooking or electricity, offering renewable energy while managing waste sustainably.
Fuel Cell
Fuel cells in green buildings use hydrogen for clean electricity, boosting resilience, efficiency, and sustainability with minimal environmental impact.
Conclusion
Infinity Benchmark stands as a beacon of sustainable development, inspiring a paradigm shift in commercial architecture. Its innovative design, eco-conscious practices, and community engagement set a high standard for future projects.
Inspired by Infinity Benchmark's sustainability efforts and green building certification, our project near Biswa Bangla Gate, New Town, aims to follow suit. We endeavor to integrate energy-efficient features, sustainable materials, and community-focused initiatives into our residential building, echoing the ethos of Infinity Benchmark.
As we move forward, the legacy of Infinity Benchmark serves as a guiding light for architects, developers, and policymakers. By prioritizing sustainability and responsible practices, we can create vibrant, resilient urban spaces that benefit both occupants and the environment.
Infinity Benchmark's journey underscores the transformative power of sustainable design and underscores the importance of incorporating environmental responsibility into every facet of urban development. With Infinity Benchmark as a model, we can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
