GREEN BUILDING CERTIFICATION US green building council’s Leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) Green rating for integrated habitat assessment (GRIHA) Indian green building council (IGBC) Bureau of energy efficiency (BEE)

LEED Building rating program Sponsored by USGBC(United States Green Building Council) Consist of a suite of a rating system for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings and neighborhoods. Provides green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions

Green rating for integrated habitat assessment (GRIHA) Pre- construction stage Building planning and construction stages Building operation and maintenance stage

Benefits GRIHA Reduced energy consumption Reduced destruction of natural areas, habitats and biodiversity Reduced air and water pollution Reduced water consumption Limited waste generation due to recycling and reuse Reduced pollution loads Increased user productivity Enhanced image and marketability
