 Film and Television Institute of India

3.1 Site Analysis

3.1.1 Site Location

The site is taken in Jaipur, Rajasthan

Jaipur, the capital and the largest city of the state, Rajasthan. As of 2018, the city
had a population of 3.1 million, making it the tenth most populous city in the country.
Jaipur is also known as the Pink City, due to the dominant colour scheme of it
buildings. It is located 268 km from the national capital New Delhi.

SITE LOCATION - Agra Highway, Jamdoli, Jaipur,

14
 Film and Television Institute of India

3.1.2 Links and Connectivity

3.1.3 About the Location

- The site is aligned along main road exposing the west facade towards the road
which gives good design opportunity to get good view from the road and which
itself creates iconic image of the building.

- The site has been selected in institutional area so that it creates more awareness
among students to opt for film making courses.

Topography

The site is flat land with undulating surface. so the topography may not dominantly
influence the layout of the building but it is very helpfull to students and faculties
because it gives opportunity to develop photogenic experience through temporary
set designings as on flat land it is very easy and less time taking.

Climate
Jaipur is famously called the Pink City, as this city enjoys bright and sunny weather all
the year. The climate of Jaipur is hot and semi-arid during its nearly yearlong dry
season

The average temperature is around 35° C to 20° C.

Minimum Temperature is 14° C (in Summer) and 6° C (in Winter).

Maximum Temperature is 49° C (in Summer) and 32° C (in Winter).

The average annual rainfall in Jaipur is approximately 30 cm.

15
 Film and Television Institute of India

Soil Type
The soils of district Jaipur is classified as sandy and loamy. Soils of the district have
been classified as follows:

Red desertic soils: This type of soils is predominant in central, eastern and southern
parts of the district. These are pale brown to reddish brown soils, loose and well
drained and texture varies from sandy loam to sandy clay loam.

Desert soils: Desert soils occupy a considerable area covering northern and western
parts of the district. These are mainly windblown sand and soils of interdunal
depressions.

Sand dunes: Sand dunes occupy a small part in northern and north-western margin
of the district. These are sandy to loamy sand, loose, structure less and well drained.

Latosols and Rego sols of hills: These types of soils are found in hills and hill slopes of
central and western parts of the district. These are shallow, light textured, drained
and reddish brown to greyish brown in colour.

16
 Film and Television Institute of India

Ground water
There is no perennial river in the district. The level of ground water does not rise due
to low and scanty rains in the district. Due to the excessive extraction of ground
water, its level is going down day by day. The natural sources of water Viz. River,
tanks etc are very few.

Land Utilization
The land use gives vital information regarding areas under different uses viz.
reserved/ open & dense/ degraded forests, plantation, water bodies, waste land,
etc.

Physical Infrastruture

• Transportation
Jaipur is well connected by road, rail and air to all major cities and towns.

• Rail Network+

Employment opportunities - Vibrant festivals and fairs portrays the cultural wealth
of Jaipur. The city has found the perfect balance between conserving the rituals
and customs of the past while still keeping up with the current advancements.
Since Film institute creates its own demand of making films which gives message to
the society and gives boom in the film making industry.

Recreational and cultural opportunities- Jaipur is a city of royal charm and with its
splendid style of entertainment and recreation. Since the city has been the home
of the royalty. the methods of leisure are distinctly imperial.
Every year Pink city witnesses Jlf and many other festivals like music festivals etc.
that is organised by govt. of Rajasthan which create another big opportunity for
FTII to create awareness about films and its significance.

 Film and Television Institute of India

5.1 CRITERIA OF SELECTION

The site is located on Agra-Jaipur highway, Jamdoli. which is in very close proximity
to dense traffic zone and results in generating heavy noise all day and night-time.
Therefore, we can use LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS AS AN OUTDOOR ACOUSTICS to keep
the noise under control or minimise it.

5.2 UNDERSTANDING OF SOUND BEHAVIOUR IN OUTDDOR AND INDOOR

The auditory experience- vision is directional while sound is omnidirectional. thus,
sight isolated while sound is omni directional. acoustical character of a space can
lend intimacy and monumentality, invitation or rejection, hospitality or hostility; for
example an echo created in a narrow street or inside an empty cathedral yields
the space its own identity and connects us to the space, by creating specific
memories. the form the volume and the material contribute to the sound
generation in its interior and exterior spaces.

5.3 Objectives
1) To study the basic landscape elements of outdoor acoustics.
2) To study various types of plants and trees for adapting its use in noise proof
landscaping.
3) To identify the issues and challenges of controlling outdoor noise.
4)To recommend design approaches with respect to landscape as outdoor
acoustic for better user experience.
5.4 Scope of work
1) To study the various elements of outdoor acoustics.
2) To study the plants and their properties.

e) Plant material

A) SITE PLANNING
Noise affected areas should be planned
away from noise source,

Orientation of buildings
Orientation of buildings - courtyards can be sources of considerable noise. the
buildings shown above have a central courtyard enclosed by parallel walls. the
walls cause flutter echoes which intesify the noise. by angling or staggering the
buildings noise can be reduced.

27
 Film and Television Institute of India

Outdoor Barriers can be constructed to control noise.

outdoor barrier can be used to reduce environmental noises, especially high-
frequency sound energy such as tire whine from trucks and cars. however sound
energy such as engine roar can readily bend over and around barriers.

B) LANDFORM
Elevated roadbeds and thin wall barrier can provide useful attenuation.
However, elevated highways more than 500ft. can produce almost same noise
level as highways at grade because the line of sight cannot be blocked.

Roadbeds below grade can interrupt the direct sound path from source to
receiver even further, thereby providing greater attenuation by diffraction.
Roadbed depression of 12ft or more usually are needed to control highway noise.

System Identified for cooling is Evaporative cooling

An evaporative cooler is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.
Evaporative cooling differs from typical air conditioning systems, which use vapor-
compression or absorption refrigeration cycles. Evaporative cooling uses the fact
that water will absorb a relatively large amount of heat in order to evaporate. The
temperature of dry air can be dropped significantly through the phase transition of
liquid water to water vapor (evaporation). This can cool air using much less energy
than refrigeration. In extremely dry climates, evaporative cooling of air has the
added benefit of conditioning the air with more moisture for the comfort of
building occupants.

The cooling potential for evaporative cooling is dependent on the wet-bulb

depression, the difference between dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb
temperature. In arid climates, evaporative cooling can reduce energy
consumption and total equipment for conditioning as an alternative to
compressor-based cooling. In climates not considered arid, indirect evaporative
cooling can still take advantage of the evaporative cooling process without
increasing humidity. Passive evaporative cooling strategies can offer the same
benefits of mechanical evaporative cooling systems without the complexity of
equipment and ductwork.

In evaporative cooling we have two different types of cooling system which are

1) Direct Cooling
2) Indirect Cooling

The Basic difference between the two is, in direct cooling air is cooled directly
through the water vapours and then blown out through exhaust but in indirect
cooling system the process includes some heat exchangers also to reduce the
amount of moisture in air. And this system is called HYBRID EVAPORATIVE COOLING
SYSTEM.

HYBRID EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEM or TWO-STAGE EVAPORATIVE COOLING In

the first stage of a two-stage cooler, warm air is pre-cooled indirectly without
adding humidity (by passing inside a heat exchanger that is cooled by
evaporation on the outside). In the direct stage, the pre-cooled air passes through
a water-soaked pad and picks up humidity as it cools. Since the air supply is pre-
cooled in the first stage, less humidity is transferred in the direct stage, to reach the
desired cooling temperatures. The result, according to manufacturers, is cooler air
with a RH between 50-70%, depending on the climate, compared to a traditional
system that produces about 70–80% relative humidity in the conditioned air.

30
 Film and Television Institute of India

Materials

Traditionally, evaporative cooler pads consist of aspen wood fibre inside a

containment net, but more modern materials, such as some plastics and
melamine paper, are entering use as cooler-pad media. Modern rigid media,
commonly 8" or 12" thick, adds more moisture, and thus cools air more than
typically much thinner aspen media. Another material which is sometimes used is
corrugated cardboard.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Water use

In arid and semi-arid climates, the scarcity of water makes water consumption a
concern in cooling system design. However, such concerns are addressed by
experts who note that electricity generation usually requires a large amount of
water, and evaporative coolers use far less electricity, and thus comparable water
overall, and cost less overall, compared to chillers.

Shading

Allowing direct solar exposure to the media pads increases the evaporation rate.
Sunlight may, however, degrade some media, in addition to heating up other
elements of the evaporative cooling design. Therefore, shading is advisable in
most applications.

31
 Film and Television Institute of India

Mechanical systems
Apart from fans used in mechanical evaporative cooling, pumps are the only
other piece of mechanical equipment required for the evaporative cooling
process in both mechanical and passive applications. Pumps can be used for
either recirculating the water to the wet media pad or providing water at very
high pressure to a mister system for a passive cooling tower. Pump specifications
will vary depending on evaporation rates and media pad area.

Exhaust

Exhaust ducts and/or open windows must always be used to allow air to
continually escape the air-conditioned area. Otherwise, pressure develops and
the fan or blower in the system is unable to push much air through the media and
into the air-conditioned area. The evaporative system cannot function without
exhausting the continuous supply of air from the air-conditioned area to the
outside. By optimizing the placement of the cooled-air inlet, along with the layout
of the house passages, related doors, and room windows, the system can be used
most effectively to direct the cooled air to the required areas. A well-designed
layout can effectively scavenge and expel the hot air from desired areas without
the need for an above-ceiling ducted venting system. Continuous airflow is
essential, so the exhaust windows or vents must not restrict the volume and
passage of air being introduced by the evaporative cooling machine.

ADVANTAGES FOR EVAPORATIVE COOLING

Less expensive to install and operate

• Estimated cost for professional installation is about half or less that of central
refrigerated air conditioning.
• Estimated cost of operation is 1/8 that of refrigerated air conditioning.
• No power spike when turned on due to lack of a compressor
• Power consumption is limited to the fan and water pump, which have a
relatively low current draw at start-up.
• The working fluid is water. No special refrigerants, such as ammonia or CFCs,
are used that could be toxic, expensive to replace, contribute to ozone
depletion and be subject to stringent licensing and environmental
regulations.

Ease of installation and maintenance

32
 Film and Television Institute of India

• Equipment can be installed by mechanically inclined users at drastically

lower cost than refrigeration equipment which requires specialized skills and
professional installation.
• The only two mechanical parts in most basic evaporative coolers are the fan
motor and the water pump, both of which can be repaired or replaced at
low cost and often by a mechanically inclined user, eliminating costly
service calls to HVAC contractors.

Ventilation air

• The frequent and high volumetric flow rate of air traveling through the building
reduces the "age-of-air" in the building dramatically.
• Evaporative cooling increases humidity. In dry climates, this may improve comfort
and decrease static electricity problems.
• The pad itself acts as a rather effective air filter when properly maintained; it is
capable of removing a variety of contaminants in air, including urban ozone
caused by pollution regardless of very dry weather. Refrigeration-based cooling
systems lose this ability whenever there is not enough humidity in the air to keep the
evaporator wet while providing a frequent trickle of condensation that washes out
dissolved impurities removed from the air.
