能源效率是LEED的要求之一。该房子的设计，以最大限度地利用自然光，同时也集中在热还原。房子的外部外观使这一点立即显现出来。独特的设计，木屏风，外部允许阳光进入房子，同时阻挡内部视线，并保持它的凉爽投下阴影，在一天的过程中发生变化。其外观设计与之相似，但不太像印度传统房屋的“jarokha”和“jallis”。

One of the requirements of LEED is energy efficiency. The house is designed to maximize on natural light while also focusing on heat reduction. The external façade of the house makes this immediately apparent. The unique design of the wooden screen n the exterior allows sunlight into the house while blocking the interior from view and keeping it cool by casting shadows that change through the course of the day. The exterior design is similar to it but not quite like the ‘jarokhas’ and ‘jallis’ of traditional Indian houses.
