IGBC Green Campus
The construction sector for the last 10 years has done extremely well in embracing the green concepts. Though initially it started with individual buildings, green is now penetrating into other forms of environment such as Administrative campuses, Convention centers, Educational campuses, IT parks, Leisure & Recreational campuses, Military campuses, Religious campuses, etc.,
The green concepts and techniques in campuses can help address National issues like water efficiency, energy efficiency, reduction in fossil fuel use in commuting, handling of consumer waste and conserving natural resources. Most importantly, these concepts can enhance occupant health, happiness and well-being.
Against this background, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched 'IGBC Green Campus rating system' to address the National priorities. This rating programme is a tool which enables the designer to apply green concepts and reduce environmental impacts that are measurable.
Benefits
A Green Campus can have tremendous benefits, both tangible and intangible. The most tangible benefits are the reduction in water and energy consumption right from day one of occupancy. The energy savings could range from 20 -30 % and water savings around 30 - 50%. Intangible benefits of green campus include improvement in microclimate, reduction in urban heat island effect, enhanced air quality, promoting biodiversity, improved health & well-being of the occupants, safety benefits, conservation of scarce national resources, zero waste to landfill.
Overview
IGBC Green Campus rating system addresses green features under the following categories:
- Site Planning and Design
- Sustainable Transportation
- Water Conservation
- Material and Resource Management
- Health & Well-being
- Sustainable Operation & Maintenance
- Innovation in Design
The guidelines detailed under each mandatory requirement & credit enables the design and construction of campuses of all sizes and types (as defined in scope). Different levels of green campus certification are awarded based on the total credits earned. However, every green campus should meet certain mandatory requirements, which are non-negotiable.
Scope
IGBC Green Campus rating system is designed for both New and Existing Campuses. The types of Campuses include Administrative campuses, Convention centers, Educational campuses, IT parks, Leisure & Recreational campuses, Military campuses, Religious campuses, etc.,
