Delta secures LEED certification

Delta India's Rudrapur plant in Gurgaon has bagged a 'Gold-Rated' LEED certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The Rudrapur factory consumes 35 per cent less energy compared to a conventional building of the same size. It is designed using energy efficient architecture, natural sky-lighting and ventilation, rain water harvesting and water re-cycling, as well as using eco-friendly building materials that provide a clean, healthy and safe workplace for employees.

Approximately 60% of the total area of the factory has been kept open and green, said a release. LEED certification is an international standards system for green building design based on the U.S. Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) system.

Dalip Sharma, managing director of Delta India Electronics, said, “The LEED certified green factory in Rudrapur incorporates Delta's renewable energy technologies and solutions. The certification recognizes all of our efforts in reducing the environmental impact of our business operations, daily processes, products, buildings and R&D. We are committed to energy savings and environmental protection that helps diminish the serious threat of global warming. In addition, it also confirms our efforts to go beyond mere compliance with ecological guidelines.”

Delta India currently has three manufacturing units located in Rudrapur, Gurgaon, Pondicherry and two R&D centers in Gurgaon and Bangalore. Delta Group is the provider of power management and thermal management solutions.
