By integrating sustainability right from the design stage, projects can unlock environmental, economic, and health benefits that extend throughout the building lifecycle.
What is Green Building Certification?
Green Building Certification formally evaluates how a building is designed, constructed, operated, and maintained against clear sustainability benchmarks such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, waste management, and occupant wellbeing. In India, frameworks like LEED, IGBC, GRIHA, and other rating systems play a pivotal role in mainstreaming sustainable real estate and guiding stakeholders towards measurable performance improvements.
Why Developers and Owners Should Care
Certified green projects benefit from reduced operating costs through lower energy and water consumption, while enhancing occupant comfort, productivity, and health via better daylight, ventilation, and material choices. They also enjoy stronger market positioning, higher asset value, and better access to incentives and regulatory benefits, with several Indian states offering subsidies and other fiscal advantages for compliant projects.
Beyond Compliance: Strategic Advantages
Contrary to the perception that green means expensive, a substantial portion of Green Buildings Certification credits can be achieved through smart planning and adherence to existing codes, with no or minimal extra upfront cost. When combined with incentives, preferential finance, and lifecycle savings, Green Building Certification becomes a powerful lever for decarbonization, ESG alignment, and long-term resilience in the built environment.
