Helping India Build Green
Voluntary building
rating systems play an important role in popularizing the concept of green
design. As per international trends, the leading rating systems abroad
have been devised to suit the building industry of the country where they
were developed.
In the Indian context, these foreign rating systems would be useful only for AC buildings. Since a large number of buildings in India are non-AC and that too existing in varied climatic conditions, it is imperative to have a nationally relevant rating system. The bottom line: GRIHA is that much-needed Indian-centric green building rating system.
