Brookfield’s Ecoworld LEED recognised for water efficiency

In accordance with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification programme, Ecoworld, managed by Brookfield Properties, has achieved high scores under the rating system’s water efficiency credit category. The project has undertaken various measures to recycle and reuse water in its facilities and make changes that create less pressure on the environment, specifically taking into consideration the issue of water scarcity in Bengaluru.
 
LEED, administered by Green Business Certification Inc (GBCI), is the most widely used green building programme in the world with over 107,000 registered and certified commercial projects across 182 countries and territories. India is currently the fourth largest market in the world for LEED and the state of Karnataka was ranked second in the Top 10 States for LEED in India in 2019, which ranks Indian states in terms of cumulative gross square meters (gsm) of LEED-certified space. Up to May, Karnataka had 327 LEED projects, covering 1.2 billion gross sq ft (gsf) of space. LEED’s water efficiency category, under which Brookfield’s Ecoworld has achieved high scores, includes strategies such as reducing outdoor and indoor water use, building-level water metering and optimising process water use and water metering.
