Foreword from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)
India is witnessing tremendous growth in infrastructure and construction development.
The construction industry in India is one of the largest economic activities and is growing at an
average rate of 9.5% as compared to the global average of 5%. As the sector is growing rapidly,
preserving the environment poses a host of challenges. To enable the construction industry
environmentally sensitive, CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre has established the Indian Green
Building Council (IGBC). IGBC, is a consensus driven not-for-profit Council, represents the building
industry, consisting of more than 1,918 committed members. The Council encourages, builders,
developers, owners, architects and consultants to design & construct green buildings, thereby
enhancing the economic and environmental performance of buildings.
The Green Building Movement in India has been spearheaded by IGBC since 2001, by creating
awareness amongst the stakeholders. Thus far, the Council has been instrumental in enabling
3.84 Billion sq.ft of green buildings in the country. The Council’s activities have enabled a market
transformation with regard to green building materials and technologies.
IGBC continuously works to provide tools that facilitate the adoption of green building practices in
India. The development of IGBC Green New Buildings rating system® is another important step in
this direction.

IGBC Green New Buildings Rating System 3
I. Introduction
The building sector in India is growing at a rapid pace and contributing immensely to the growth of
the economy. This augurs well for the country and now there is an imminent need to introduce
green concepts and techniques in this sector, which can aid growth in a sustainable manner.
The green concepts and techniques in the building sector can help address national issues like
water efficiency, energy efficiency, reduction in fossil fuel use for commuting, handling of consumer
waste and conserving natural resources. Most importantly, these concepts can enhance occupant
health, productivity and well-being.
Against this background, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched ‘IGBC Green New
Buildings 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. The rating programme covers methodologies to cover diverse climatic zones and
changing lifestyles.
IGBC has set up the Green New Buildings Core Committee under the leadership of Ar. Raghavendran,
to develop the rating programme. This committee comprised of key stakeholders, including
architects, builders, consultants, developers, owners, institutions, manufacturers and industry
representatives. The committee, with a diverse background and knowledge has enriched the rating
system, both in its content and process.
II. Benefits of Green New Buildings
Green New buildings 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%. The intangible
benefits of green new buildings include enhanced air quality, excellent daylighting, health &
well-being of the occupants, safety benefits and conservation of scarce national resources.
III.National Priorities Addressed in the Rating System
The IGBC Green New Buildings rating system addresses the most important national priorities
which include water conservation, handling waste, energy efficiency, reduced use of fossil fuels,
lesser dependence on usage of virgin materials and health & well-being of occupants. The rating
system requires the application of National standards and codes such as the NBC, ECBC, MoEF
guidelines, CPCB guidelines, and several others. The overarching objective is to be better than the
national standards so as to create new benchmarks.
4 Indian Green Building Council
(cid:153) Water Conservation:
Most of the Asian countries are water stressed and in countries like India, the water table
has reduced drastically over the last decade. IGBC Green New Buildings rating system
encourages use of water in a self-sustainable manner through reduce, recycle and reuse
strategies. By adopting this rating programme, green new buildings can save potable water
to an extent of 30 - 50%.
(cid:153) Handling of Consumer Waste:
Handling of waste in buildings is extremely difficult as most of the waste generated is not
segregated at source and has a high probability of going to landfills. This continues to be a
challenge to the municipalities which needs to be addressed. The rating system intends to
address this by encouraging buildings to segregate the building waste.
(cid:153) Energy Efficiency:
The building sector is a large consumer of electrical energy. Through IGBC Green New
Buildings rating system, buildings can reduce energy consumption through energy efficient
- building envelope, lighting, air conditioning systems, etc., The energy savings that can be
realised by adopting this rating programme can be to the tune of 20 - 30%.
(cid:153) Reduced Use of Fossil Fuels:
Fossil fuel is a slowly depleting resource, the world over. The use of fossil fuel for
transportation has been a major source of pollution. The rating system encourages the use
of alternate fuel vehicles for transportation.
(cid:153) Reduced Dependency on Virgin Materials:
The rating system encourages projects to use recycled & reused material and discourages
the use of virgin materials, thereby, addressing environmental impacts associated with
extraction and processing of scare natural resources.
(cid:153) Health and Well-being of Occupants:
Health and well-being of occupants are the most important aspect of IGBC Green New
Buildings rating system. The rating system ensures adequate ventilation, daylight and
occupant well-being facilities which are essential in a building. The rating system also
recognises measures to minimise indoor air pollutants.
