Griha Criteria No.32 Energy Audit and Validation
ENERGY SIMULATION 01
INTRODUCTION
Energy audit and validation is 32nd griha criteria. Points: 0 (no points will be awarded for this criteria) It is a mandatory clause in griha manual. This criteria falls under building operation and maintenance.
OBJECTIVE
Validate the performance of the energy and environmental systems in the building as predicted during the design and development stage, thermal comfort and visual comfort criteria.
COMMITMENT
ENERGY SIMULATION 02
A.) After occupying the building, conduct audits for the following within two years of full occupancy and submit audit data as per the specified format. The energy consumption data submitted should be for at least 12 months. 1. Energy audit a. Energy consumption b. Thermal comfort c. Visual comfort
2. Water and waste audit a. Water quality b. Solid waste generation c. Solid waste disposal process.
COMMITMENT
B.) After occupying the building, conduct sound level audit as specified in Criterion 29, to measure the following: a. Indoor noise levels b. Outdoor noise levels Note: Clause b is only applicable to projects that have attempted GRIHa Criterion 29: Acceptable outdoor and indoor levels. the audit data should be submitted to ADaRSH (Association for Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats) in the format specified in Criterion 29. These audits should be conducted for typical representative days. The audit reports should be submitted to ADaRSH in the specified format for validation of the information provided at the time of award of provisional rating. Incase the audit data is not corresponding with the data and documents provided at the time of award of provisional rating, the provisional GRIHA rating will be taken back from the project. However, if the audited data is corresponding with the data and documents provided at the time of award of provisional rating, the final GRIHA rating will be awarded to the project.

Energy Audit allow to: Understand and define effective energy costs Understand how is energy consumed Understand when is energy consumed Minimize waste of energy Maximize efficiency Optimize production of energy (also with renewable energy)
COMFORT AUDIT
The energy audit comprises of assessing the thermal and visual comfort of the building spaces. Thermal comfort performance of the building is defined in terms of temperature and relative humidity maintained in the building and visual comfort is defined in terms of average illumination level in all the building areas measured at horizontal work plane. Thermal and visual comforts audits are conducted to verify that the buildings HVAC and lighting system are functioning appropriately & providing required comfort to the building occupants.
