West/Northwest zone is governed by the great element 'Vayu' and as such, planting of medicinal shrubs an Nilgiri on West gives aroma and bliss to entire Vaastu.
Main buildings should be placed in the Southwest zone an aligned in such a manner that North-South axis of building should match with the geomagnetic axis. The shape of the building should be rectangular.
Bore-well should be provided in the Northeast comer.
Septic tank should be located in the Northwest zone.
Provision of pyramid-like structures made of organic matter like bamboo or wood over Southwest passages. The dimensions of the pyramid could be 8-ft X 8-ft base and 3 f height.

Provision of 18-inch thick wall in the Southwest zone. The South and West zones are exposed to intense solar radiation due to the Sun's East to Southeast to Southwest to West sojourn through the sky. Thicker Southwest walls act as shields against intense heat and keep the internal building areas cool.
Raising of the Southwest plinth by 6 inches. The Southwest zone is heavily loaded and or raised to compensate the imbalance in matter and energy due to heavy stress concentration.
Provision of maximum possible openings or ventilators in the North and East to maintain balanced Pranik and Jaivik energy flow through the Vaastu.
Arranging East-side entry for the workers and North-side entry for the proprietors and executives.
Provision of additional floor in the Southwest zone. This helps in equalizing the disturbed matter and energy balance in this zone on account of stress concentration.
Provision of slopes towards the North and the East. Sloping chajjas can be provided for this purpose.
Provision of terraces in the North and East, with levels in these zones lower than the South and West zones, to satisfy the concept of helix formation through level shifting.
Minimization of openings and ventilators in the South and West zones. If openings in these zones are unavoidable, then tilted bay windows can be provided for simulating sunlight entry from the North and East. It is to be noted that source of light in the South implies that Pranik energy is in mutual opposition with North-South geomagnetic flux lines, which is a source of Jaivik energy.
Alignment of heavy machinery and heavy storage units in the South, Southwest, and West zones.
Provision of flooring to obtain the helix effect.

Painting scheme as per the well defined 'Ranga-Shastra' principles in Vaastu science. The colour variation based on five great elements and horoscope helps in attaining helix Format in a Vaastu.
 
Placing of all light fittings and electrical points on the North and East sides.

The analytical approach adopted here has benefited the pharmaceutical unit immensely; in management-workers relationship and in smooth running of the plant at optimum levels. Taking recourse to Vaastu principles at planning stage has distinct advantages - smooth progress of work and salubrious working conditions.

For industries too, the selection of site is very important. Besides the fact that sufficient water and electricity should be available, the vaastu of the plot, plot such as the shape of the plot, the roads facing the plots and the ground levels inside and outside the site are very important points that are to be observed.

The various principles of Vaastu, which aid in setting up an industry, are as follows.

Main roads towards east, north or north-east are advisable with wide gates on two sides.
Gates in north-east or east or north or north-west are recommended
Guard room should be either on north-west side of north gate of southeast side of east-gate.
Minimum space should be kept in south and west where big trees could be grown. More open space should be left in north and east where lawns and other greenery can be grown.
The floor levels in south-west must be higher than other sides and height of the building also must be higher than all the other corners. Care has to be taken to have the store rooms in south-west fully loaded with stocks to the extent possible As and when the stocks are consumed they should be replaced immediately.
Car parking may be provided in north-west if open area is available. For light vehicles north east also could be used.
Administrative Officers are to be located either in north or east, away from boundary walls with less height than the main factory. Here special care has to be taken in keeping north east corner open.
Staff quarters may be constructed in south-east and north-west. If quarters are multi-storied and if the height is more than that of main factory, they should be constructed in south-west without touching the main premises.
Toilets should be placed in north-west or south-eastern part of the buildings, and not in north-east or south-west.
Wells, bore wells, water sumps and water ponds etc... should be in the north-eastern area.
Over head tanks may be erected in west and nearby, duly maintaining the heights. South-west and north-east sides including north and east should be avoided, for constructing overhead tanks. This is a bit controversial subject and hence one should be very careful in locating the overhead tanks and also the water tanks above the ground level.
Heavy machinery has to be installed in south, west or south-west in the factory.
Raw materials storage, whether inside factory or sheds outside, should be in south or west or south-west.
Products under process or unfinished goods may be kept in west direction.
Finished products are to be kept in the north-west corner. It will help for quick movement of the stocks.
Weighing machine may be located near the gate either in north or east because that area is not subjected to permanent weight. Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil engines should be kept in south-east or close to south-east.
