Green Building Code in India

8/8/2019 Green Building Code in India

1/21

Green Building Code in India

Is a medley of codes, standards established by the

State

National Building Code,

the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC)

ratings programmes such as Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design-India (LEED-India),

the standards and guidelines put down for the Residential

Sector by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), TERI-GRIHA and other such certifications.


2/21

National Building Code

Designed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

National instrument providing guidelines for regulating the

building construction activities across the country.

Model Code for adoption by all agencies involved in buildingconstruction works be they Public Works Departments, other

government construction departments, local bodies or private

construction agencies.


3/21

National Building Code

The Code mainly contains

administrative regulations,

development control rules and general building requirements;

fire safety requirements;

stipulations regarding materials, structural design and

construction (including safety);

and building and plumbing services


4/21

ECBC

ECBC: Energy Conservation Building Codes

ECBC set minimum energy efficiency standards for design

and construction

ECBC encourage energy efficient design or retrofit ofbuildings so that

It does not constrain the building function, comfort,

health, or the productivity of the occupants

Has appropriate regard for economic considerations

(life cycle costs i.e. construction + energy costs are

minimized)

IGBC

It is a whole-building approach to sustainability

by recognizing performance in five key areas:

Sustainable Sites

Water efficiency

Indoor Environmental Quality

Energy & Atmosphere

Material & Resources

IGBC Green Homes Rating System

Is the first rating programme developed in India, exclusively

for the residential sector

Based on accepted energy and environmental principles andstrikes a balance between known established practices and

emerging concepts

LEED India.

LEED-INDIA promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by

recognizing performance in the following five key areas:

Sustainable site development Water savings

Energy efficiency

Materials selection

Indoor environmental quality

LEED-INDIA rating system provides a roadmap for measuring and

documenting success for every building type and phase of a

Building lifecycle.

GRIHA

GRIHA is an acronym for Green Rating for Integrated Habitat

Assessment.

It was conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to the IndianGovernment.

It is a green building design evaluation system and is suitable

for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the

country.


13/21

GRIHA

GRIHA rating system consists of 34 criteria

categorized under various sections such as

Site Selection and Site Planning

Conservation and efficient utilization of resources, Building operation and maintenance,

and Innovation points.


14/21

GRIHA

Eight of these 34 criteria are mandatory

Each criterion has a number of points assigned to it. It means

that a project intending to meet the criterion would qualify

for the points. Different levels of certification (one star to five stars) are

awarded based on the number of points earned. The

minimum points required for certification is 50.


15/21

GRIHA

Twenty-eight projects have been registered so

far including the following:

Earth System and Environment Science Engineering Building,

IIT Kanpur Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi

Delhi Common Wealth GamesVillage, Near Akshardham

Temple, New Delhi

Hindustan Lever Limited, Andheri(E), Mumbai


16/21

LEED: An internationally recognised

standard for green buildingThe main countries which use LEED as the main assessment tool tocheck energy efficiency of buidings:

United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico

LEED was created to accomplish the following:

Define "green building" by establishing a common standard ofmeasurement

Promote integrated, whole-building design practices

Recognize environmental leadership in the building industry

Stimulate green competition

Raise consumer awareness of green building benefits Transform the building market


17/21

Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design(LEED) Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)

Internationally recognized green building certification system

Intended to provide building owners and operators a conciseframework for identifying and implementing practical and measurablegreen building:

-design-construction

-operations

-maintenance solutions

The hallmark of LEED is that it is an open and transparent process

where the technical criteria proposed by USGBC members are publiclyreviewed for approval by the almost 20,000 member organizations thatcurrently constitute the USGBC


18/21

Provides third-party verification that a building or community wasdesigned and built using strategies intended to improve performancein following metrics:

- Energy savings

- Water efficiency

- CO2 emissions reduction- Improved indoor environmental quality

- Stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts

LEED has grown from one standard for new construction to acomprehensive system of six standards covering all aspects of the

development and construction process LEED also has grown from six volunteers on one committee to more

than 200 volunteers


19/21

LEED rating system

LEED rating system addresses following 8 major areas:

Location and Planning

Sustainable Sites

Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere

Materials and Resources

Indoor Environmental Quality

Innovation and Design Process

Regional Priority


20/21

Cost savings

The most criticized issue about constructing environmentally friendlybuildings is the price, modern technologies tend to cost more money.Here there is a stigma attached, the fact is:

Green buildings cost a premium of
