Driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and innovative buildings, coupled with highly aware
home seekers, the construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Green building
certifications help serve as a crucial tool to drive this change, offering a framework for designing,
constructing, and operating buildings that minimize their environmental impact. While creating
benchmarks for the industry.
Key Green Building Certifications
● LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): The most widely recognized
green building certification program.
● GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment): This is the national rating
system for green buildings in India, developed by TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute).
It covers a wide range of sustainability aspects, including energy efficiency, water
conservation, materials, indoor environmental quality, and site sustainability.
● IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Green Building Rating System: This system is
developed and managed by the IGBC, and it covers various building types, including
commercial, residential, and institutional buildings. It focuses on energy efficiency, water
conservation, materials, indoor environmental quality, and site sustainability.

● LEED India (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): This is the Indian
version of the globally recognized LEED rating system. It covers similar areas as the global
LEED system, but it also incorporates specific Indian climatic and cultural contexts.
● ICRC (Indian Green Building Council) Green Homes Rating System: This system is
specifically designed for residential buildings in India. It focuses on energy efficiency, water
conservation, materials, and indoor environmental quality.
These are just a few of the many green building and sustainability certification standards used here in
India. The specific standard that is used for a particular project will depend on a variety of factors,
including the type of building, the location of the building, and the specific goals of the project.
