 GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment)

 NAME: GRIHA
 COUNTRY: INDIA
 ESTABLISHED: 2007

GRIHA - Sanskrit word meaning – ‘Abode’

• An innovative tool for sustainable development by the United

Nations.

• A tool for implementing renewable energy in the building sector by ‘The

Climate Reality project’- an organization founded by Mr. Al Gore; and
UNEP-SBCI has developed the “Common Carbon Metric” (kWhr/sq
m/annum), for international building energy data collection -based on
inputs from GRIHA (among others)
 OBJECTIVES OF GRIHA :

• minimize a building’s resource consumption, waste generation, and

overall ecological impact

• evaluates the environmental performance of a building holistically over

its entire life cycle, thereby providing a definitive standard for what
constitutes a ‘green building’

• based on accepted energy and environmental principles, seeks to strike

a balance between the established practices and emerging concepts

• Reduced energy consumption without sacrificing the comfort levels

• Reduced destruction of natural areas, habitats, and biodiversity, and

reduced soil loss from erosion etc.
 WHY CHOOSE GRIHA ?

• To lower operating costs

• For higher return on investment

• For productivity benefits

• To reduce liability and risk

• For greater tenant attraction

• For enhanced marketability

• To build healthier places to live and work

• For demonstration of Corporate Social Responsibility

• For future-proofed assets

• To gain competitive advantage
 GRIHA PROCEDURE:

Energy Conservation Measures
 Energy Conservation Measures
Energy performance of building within specified comfort limits :
• Reducing energy consumption (compared to GRIHA benchmarks) while maintaining occupant
comfort

• For achieving visual comfort :

o Direct line of sight to the outdoor environment to envision glazing for building occupants
for more than 90% of the occupied spaces

o Avoiding Deep floor plates to create maximum day lighted spaces

o Landscaping planned with native species and water body features in central
court and all around the building
 Energy Conservation Measures
For achieving Thermal comfort :
o All circulation spaces or passages were naturally ventilated / shaded / hot air Conditioned

o Energy Efficient Chilled heat based Cooling system proposed together with
condenser water cooling through ground pipes

o Operable windows were proposed in conditioned areas to be able to utilize favorable

outdoor conditions

o Insulated Walls through using an integrated AAC + Rockwool combination

together with high efficiency DGU’s and UPVC frames for the windows
 Usage of Materials with Low Embodied energy

• AAC Blocks with fly ash for recycling and

insulation

• Fly ash based Plaster & Mortar

• Stone and Ferro cement Jalis
