GRIHA, an acronym for ‘Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment’, is the National Rating System of India. It has been conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. It is a green building ‘design evaluation system’, and is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the country.
Basics & Benefits Of GRIHA Rating System
- Up to 30% reduction in energy consumption
- Limited waste generation due to recycling
- Less consumption of water
- Reduced pollution load & liability
Sustainable Habitats
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.
The Energy and Resources Institute has foreseen the environment of MARG Swarnabhoomi as a property hub to host two days training workshop on “Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment” scheduled on 12th Oct and 13th Oct 2010. Standby as we bring in schedule & agenda of the training and workshop.
