PARAMETERS OF GREEN BUILDING DESIGN : The measures that need to be taken to make a green building can be distributed over three different phases of construction. These are:
Measures taken before construction o Site selection o Soil and landscape conservation o Health and well being o Conservation and efficient utilization of energy and resources o Waste management. Measures taken during construction o Soil and landscape conservation o Conservation and efficient utilization of energy and resources o Waste management o Health and well-being Measures taken to maintain the building during operation. However, there are some genuine overlaps between steps taken before and during construction.
RATING SYSTEMS There are three primary Rating systems in India
GRIHA IGBC BEE
GRIHA stands for "Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment" and has been developed keeping in mind the various conditions and requirements specific to the design and construction of green buildings in India.
IGBC stands for "Indian Green Building Council" and provides the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) ratings for green buildings devised in the United States in India.
The Bureau of Energy Efficieny (BEE) launched a Star Rating Programme in 2009, for office buildings in order to accelerate the Energy Efficiency CREATED BY : MEET SHAH
