Green Building Movement in India
Green Building Defined
"A green building is one which uses less water, optimises energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces
for occupants, as compared to a conventional building."
Green Building Movement in India
The Green Building movement in India was triggered off when CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre building in Hyderabad was awarded with the first and the prestigious Platinum rated green building rating in India. Since then, Green Building movement in India has gained tremendous impetus over the years.
With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq.ft. green built-up area in the country in the year 2003, today (as on 31st March 2023) more than 10,698 Green Buildings projects coming up with a footprint of over 10.26 Billion sq.ft are registered with the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), out of which 3,321 Green Building projects are certified and fully functional in India. This growth has been possible with the participation of all stakeholders in the green building movement.
Today all types of buildings are going the Green way- Government, IT Parks, Offices, Residential, Banks, Airports, Convention Centre, Institutions, Hospitals, Hotels, Factories, SEZs, Townships, Schools, Metros etc.,
