Abstract
Rating system programme is a tool which enables
the designer to apply green concepts and reduce
environmental impacts that are measurable. The
project covers the rating programme having
methodologies to cover diverse climatic zones and
changing lifestyles.
1. Introduction
The building sector in India is growing at a rapid
pace and contributing immensely to the growth of
the economy.
The tremendous growth in construction activity
across the globe is placing pressure on natural and
environmental resources. There is increasing
evidence that human activities are causing an
irreversible damage to the global environment,
which will have an adverse impact on the quality of
life of future generations.

The two green building rating systems in India are
LEED1 by IGBC2 and GRIHA by TERI. LEED is
most popular among the ratings and the credits
earned through LEED ratings can be traded in
carbon market.
The Cost Benefit Analysis of
the One India bulls Centre resulted in a pay back
period of 2-3 years on the cost premium for
including sustainable features in the building
aiming to achieve the LEED Gold certification.
The CII IGBC and other professionals are
working to mitigate the challenges faced by green
buildings to enable developers to develop and
operate green buildings with ease.

Evaluation procedure
GRIHA Process:
of
criterion
of
i) Registration
A project has to be registered with ADaRSH through the
GRIHA website by filling in the registration form online.
Registration should preferably be done at beginning of a
project, as several issues need to be addressed at the predesign stage.
The registration process includes access to the essential
information related to rating.
ii) Documentation
iii) Evaluation
The project documentation is evaluated online and rated
in a three-tier process. After online submission of
documents, the preliminary evaluation is done by team of
professionals and experts from GRIHA Secretariat,
ADaRSH. Documentation should be complete in all
respects for all attempted criteria. Any attempted criteria
with incomplete documentation is not be evaluated. The
documentation formats are provided online for each
criterion. Online calculators provided for specific criteria
need to be filled in and submitted.
The ADaRSH team first reviews compliance of the
project with the mandatory criteria and reject the project
in the event of non-compliance with such criteria.
The ADaRSH team will then evaluate the optional
criteria and estimate the total number of achievable
points. All compliance documents will be checked and
vetted through the appraisal process as outlined by
GRIHA.
The evaluation summary report is sent to members of the
evaluation committee for GRIHA comprising of
renowned sector experts from landscape architecture,
lighting and HVAC design, renewable energy, water and
waste management, and building materials. The
evaluation committee members will vet the points
estimated by the technical team. The evaluation
committee will then independently review the documents
for the award of points. The evaluation committee may
use the evaluation summary report submitted by the
technical team as a guiding document. The evaluation
committee will award provisional points and also
comment on specific criteria, if need be. The evaluation
report will be sent to the project proponent to review the
same and, if desired, take steps to increase the score.

6. LEED
7. RESULTS
A LEED rating of Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum is
based on the number of points; a house accumulates in
the 136 point system. Point total for each grade is for an
average size house:
Certified45 points
Silver60 points
Gold75 points
Platinum90 points
GRIHA is a 100 point system consisting of some core
points, which are mandatory, while the rest are optional.
8. CONCLUSION
To the conclusion of the study of two rating system
GRIHA and LEED respectively, implementation of this
rating system in construction businesses will help protect
the natural and environmental resources and hence the
concept of green building will come into existence.
