Zeroing in on Green

Since 2001, India has seen the emergence of green building rating frameworks by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) Council, Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) and Green and Ecofriendly Movement (GEM). A direct outcome of their adoption is that India today has over 20 billion sq ft of certified green building footprint over more than 21,000 registered projects based on the IGBC, LEED and GRIHA frameworks.

Buildings, green by design through the lens of architecture, simulations and specifications, have ushered in a much-needed shift in thinking about the sustainability of the built environment. India’s green building movement has also paved the way for a thriving green building materials industry spanning concrete blocks, lighting and water fixtures, HVAC components and systems, paints, carpets, partitioning systems, and so on.
