Udupi, Jan 14: It’s world’s first ‘zero energy’ eco friendly green mosque that has been constructed with adoption of solar passive design and energy-efficient building materials.
Conceptualised and accomplished by the Bearys Group, known for innovative and green architecture in Karnataka, the ultra modern ‘Badria Juma Masjid’ at Kodi in Kundapur taluk will formally be inaugurated on Friday, January 15 in the presence of renowned Islamic scholars of the country.
The Mosque design is an evolution in Islamic architecture integrating epitomized sustainable technologies. An important feature of this green marvel is that its entire energy requirement is met through hybrid renewable energy, both wind and solar.
At a time when the world is passing through climate change crisis, it demonstrates how sustainable developments can help in mitigating global warming. The Mosque also presents a modern face of Islam aiming to promote harmony among all communities. A list of its unique features is attached.
It is our little contribution in India’s march towards Sustainable Development, says Syed Mohamed Beary of Bearys Group and we hope that the Mosque will become a holistic place of worship where people from all over the world will come and pray and find true solace.
Unique Features
Cooling of the building has been achieved by using elements of nature. The building orientation minimizes solar heat gain. The L shaped building plan and elevated nature of prayer hall, green vegetation & water tanks around it offer a naturally cooled environment.
Solar heat reflecting terrace floor laid with white china mosaics & fitted with turbo vents not only keeps the prayer space cool but also reduces warming of local micro climate.
It is practically an open envelope and non-conducting Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Jallis with over 50% openings, maximize natural ventilation and supplement the design effort to reduce heat gain.
Natural cooling of the building is accentuated by the wind scoop on 70 feet multifunctional Minaret (from where the Azan, the call for prayer is given) which forces down draft of cool breeze into the prayer hall and also supports the tower structure of wind turbine mounted atop it.
Use of Hybrid Renewable Energy i.e. wind & solar in the Mosque will produce more energy than used by the Mosque, thus feeding energy to state grid and accruing (CER) Credits for next 25 years.
Utilized local resources on the principle of “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Regenerate” and is equipped with “Pressmatic” TOTO water fixtures to conserve precious water.

Heartiest Congratulations to Mr Syed Beary and his wonderful team for a great achievement. Hope this will set the trend for many such Eco- friendly buildings in future. Every effort to preserve this earth is to be greatly appreciated.
Masha Allah Thabarakallah!!!
May Allah protect it from all evils in the society.
Sir syed Beary, you have indeed come up with the innovative concept. may Allah bless u. I would like to request about saving water energy too especially Ablution section in masjids. Our Prophet(saws)was finishing his ablution with 1 small mug but majority of us needs litres of water. So implement some sensor system ablution area.
We as a muslim community are lacking Islamic marriage hall in mangalore. Hall with prayer room, separate seating for gents and ladies. In other halls we need partition. Please include this concept in near future.
May Allah reward you with his immense blessings.
Everything is green. What about deen
Is it like what Rasool SA have left to ummah and the sahabah RA followed or is it like the corrected musliyars teach.
May Allah guide us as he guided the Sahabha
Masha Allah. May Almighty Allah accepts the work and give them the reward of Jannah. MAN BANAA MASJIDAN LILLAH BANALLAHU LAHU BAITHAN FIL JANNAH. HADITH.
Keep going \Bearys\"....Best of luck."
\MASHA ALLAH\" Beautiful Masjid"

Wonderful Achievement
Dear All...... Masjids are already Eco friendly. as no part of our worship is included in environmental pollution . difference is power now is eco friendly
Nice to see concept
Masha Allah,
Masha Allah. Thank you Bearys for beautifying our town. I hope women also will be allowed to enter and offer prayer in this mosque. our Probhet has not allowed any MAN to prevent entering the women into mosque.
Really appreciable initiative. In fact Muslims elite should concentrate more on innovating mosque and thereby spreading the message of Islam to non Muslims. Mosque should not be confined to prayers. It should be islamic centre and hidaya centre. There should be exclusive facitlty for non muslims (who want to know about Islam) in mosques.
Masha Allah. Nice to read this report. really impressive.
A wonderful concept. May Allah give long life and immense reward for Beary's group founder Syed Beary sab for this wonderful work. He is a jewel in the community.
Good initiative. Lesson for Hindus too. We should convert all temples and mutts into eco friendly and noise-less buildings. All the best brothers!
