Dear Friends,

With massive demographic growth in India, and a defined shi towards urbanisa on, the demand
for housing and all other building construc on for economic and social infrastructure needs, is
registering quantum jump for growth.

The Built Environment needed for Housing, buildings for Commercial, Recrea onal, Health Care,
Hospitality, Retail sector are facing many challenges due to resource constraints on land, water,
energy, forests and building materials. With rapid increase in costs on all resources, the need for
cost effec veness and affordability at all levels, from CAPEX and OPEX point of view, is also
coming into sharp focus.

It is, therefore, impera ve that op mum and efficient u lisa on of all these precious resources, is
done for sustainable development. The con nuous savings in water, energy and improvement in
quality of life reinforces the need to adopt green building prac ces in the buildings and
infrastructure services.

Equally important is the need to graduate from the ini a ves for green buildings to green
neighbourhoods, townships and ci es development.

The regulatory frame works for the built environment are also ge ng increasingly geared up to
provide for development with sustainability elements using green principles in the Building
Byelaws, Development Control Rules, Planning Standards of the local Municipal Corpora ons,
Municipal Authori es, Development Authori es at state and city levels, Town Planning
Department and Special Planning Authori es, New Town Development agencies through
revamping of present building regula ons.

The Na onal Building Code of India, brought out by BIS, also has also included new Part 11 on
Sustainability and the use of green principles. The Energy Conserva on Building Code, brought out

1
by BEE, has special thrust on energy conserva on and efficiencies.

The Green Building movement, which is growing in strength over the last decade, has also
embraced these elements leading to sustainable development.

With this in view, IGBC is glad to bring out a guidance publica on for revamping the Building
Byelaws, Development Control Rules and Planning Standards of Urban Local Bodies and Planning
Authori es, for incorpora ng the sustainable development features in Built Environment. This
could be either adopted or adapted by the State Governments, Urban Local Bodies and Planning
Authori es in their efforts for bringing in sustainable development in the built environment.

IGBC hopes that this document would serve as a guidance model.

IGBC would be glad to extend any assistance in the transforma on process to revamp the building
regulatory media.

Best regards,

V Suresh

Introduc on
Ci es are the engines for social and economic growth of a country. The urban sector contributes to
more than 60% to the na on’s GDP. Ci es are playing a key role in crea on of employment and the
economic growth in the country.

The newly formed government has a vision of developing ‘100 Smart Ci es’, as satellite towns of
larger ci es and modernising the exis ng mid-sized ci es. This augurs well for the country and
presents a wonderful opportunity to design these ci es as green from day one and convert the
exis ng ci es into green ci es.

Against this background, Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched the guidance
publica on ‘Model Building Byelaws for Sustainable Development of Built Environment in Ci es
(Version 2.0)’. The proposed measures would help the Development Authori es / Municipal
Corpora ons/ Municipal Councils in promo ng the green building efforts in their respec ve ci es
and incorporate them in their development control regula ons and building regula ons.

The intent is to help Development Authori es / Municipal Corpora ons / Municipal Councils to
incorporate the byelaws on green measures and promote them in prac ce as a regulatory tool.
The concept and approach is projected and these can be adopted or adapted by the
state governments / city authori es to suit local requirements.

Model Byelaw # 1: Green Space

All residen al / commercial / ins tu onal / industrial plots above 500 Sq.m should
dedicate 10 % of the site area as green open space. The space would have to be le
green through the life of the project.

Benefits An cipated

Green space provides habitat for landscaping, foliage and vegeta on. A green space helps in
mi ga ng urban heat island effect, increases storm water infiltra on and provides human
popula on with a connec on to the outdoors.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

WHO recommends 9 Sq.m of per capita green space. Singapore has provided 66 Sq.m of per capita
green space.

Model Byelaw # 2: Green Roof

For all new residen al / commercial / ins tu onal / industrial plots, 75% of the
exposed roof area to be developed with High Reflec ve Materials or Vegeta on or
combina on.

Benefits An cipated

Reflec ve roof surfaces and vegetated roofs help in mi ga ng urban heat island effect. This would
reduce ambient temperatures in urban areas, help in reducing cooling loads, reduce electricity
consump on, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

The below illustra on shows comparison between dark roo ops in Delhi and white roo ops in
Jaisalmer. A study conducted by Lawrence Berkeley Na onal Laboratory (LBNL) & Indian Ins tute
of Informa on Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad in May 2011 has es mated that poten al annual
energy savings of cool roofs in India is 20 to 22 kWh per Sq.m roof area.

Model Byelaw # 3: Solar Water Hea ng

All new residen al / commercial / ins tu onal / industrial plots, should install solar
water hea ng systems which cater to 50% of their domes c use.

Benefits An cipated

India is blessed with Solar Energy in abundance at no cost. Solar water hea ng systems have
tremendous benefits with respect to energy savings, peak load savings, environmental benefits
and a rac ve payback period.

A Solar Water Heater of 100 liters capacity can replace an electric geyser for residen al use and
save 1,500 units of electricity annually and thereby prevent 1.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Model Byelaw # 4: Rain Water Harves ng

All new buildings to provide rainwater harves ng system to capture atleast


‘one-day rainfall*’ runoff volume from roof and non-roof areas.

All exis ng buildings shall construct rainwater harves ng system to capture atleast
‘one-day rainfall*’ runoff volume from roof and non-roof areas.

Benefits An cipated

Rain water harves ng system helps in reducing dependency on municipal water supply and
improves ground water recharge.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

In 2001, Chennai city has mandated implementa on of Rain water harves ng systems in all
Government offices, schools, hospitals, residen al buildings and new buildings. This has helped in
improving the ground water table as well as the quality of ground water. Further, during rainy
season the dependency on the municipal water has come down.

Model Byelaw # 5: On-site Waste Water Treatment and Reuse

For residen al buildings having more than 30 dwelling units and for non - residen al
buildings with built-up area of more than 2,000 Sq.m, the following provisions
should be made:

a) Use low flow water fixtures in minimizing water consump on.

b) Have an on-site waste water recycling treatment system to handle 100% of


waste water (sullage and sewage) generated in the building, to the quality
standards suitable for reuse, as prescribed by Central (or) State Pollu on Control
Board, as applicable.

c) Use treated waste water for at least 50% of the total water required for
landscaping, flushing, and cooling tower make-up water (if the project uses
water-cooled chillers).

Benefits An cipated

Conserva on of water is of essence and all efforts to make efficient use of water need
encouragement.

On-site waste water treatment helps in avoiding pollu on for the receiving streams and reuse of
treated waste water reduces dependency on potable water. There are many technologies available
for waste water recycling including DEWATS op ons.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

More than 80% of domes c waste water in


Israel is treated through a mix of on-site and
off-site waste water treatment systems. More
than 50% of the irriga on is done with
recycled waste water.

In Singapore waste water recycling is a must


and the “New Water” is used for various
useful purposes - leading to 40 -50% water
savings.

Model Byelaw # 6: Waste Segrega on

All buildings to provide separate coloured bins to collect dry waste (paper, plas c,
metals, glass etc,) and wet waste (organic), as applicable. Allocate dedicated space
for a centralised facility to divert the collected waste, before transferring for
recycling / disposal.

Provide separate bins for safe disposal of hazardous waste (ba eries, E-waste,
Lamps, Medical waste etc.,) as applicable at the centralised facility.

Note:

The project has to follow the Hazardous Waste Management Guidelines as prescribed
by the Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF), Government of India.

Benefits An cipated

100% waste segrega on at source, provides opportunity to reuse or recycle waste, thereby
avoiding waste being sent to the landfill site.

This also contributes well to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan ini a ve.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

Pune Municipal Corpora on (PMC) solid waste management is a success story. Of the 1,600
tonnes of waste generated in city every day, 1,000 tonnes is composted into pellets and biofuel,
200 tonnes is converted into vermi compost, 60 tonnes is converted into biogas and 300 tonnes is
converted into electricity through pyrolysis.

Municipal Corpora on / Municipal Councils are suggested to follow Municipal Solid Waste
Management and Handling Rules 2000, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India
for effec ve handling of solid waste at city level.

Model Byelaw # 7: Affordable Housing

For residen al projects, with a minimum built-up area of 20,000 Sq.m and above, the
developer shall provide atleast 20% of built-up area for the housing needs of
Economically Weaker Sec ons (EWS) and Low Income Groups (LIG) housing in such
projects.

Benefits An cipated

Urban serviced land is the key for development of affordable housing. Dedica ng developed land
for affordable housing in large projects, provides economic opportuni es and improves social and
economic mix, within the community. This contributes to inclusive and Sustainable Habitat
development.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

Many countries are earmarking policies for making available developed land for the needs of poor
and low income groups for humane ci es development.

Model Byelaw # 8: Design for Differently Abled

All new residen al / commercial / ins tu onal / industrial / public buildings should
be designed to cater to the needs of differently abled people in accordance with the
guidelines of Na onal Building Code (NBC) of India

Benefits An cipated

Barrier free buildings enable people with special needs to move about safely and freely and to use
the facili es within the built environment. The goal of barrier free design is to provide an
environment that supports the independent func oning of individuals so that they can get to, and
par cipate without assistance, in every day ac vi es.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

Many IGBC rated green building projects, are designed to cater to the needs of differently abled
people.

Model Byelaw # 9: On-site Renewable Energy

All new buildings with connected load of 100 kW or contract demand of 120 kVA,
should install on-site renewable system equivalent to meet 2% of the connected
load.

Note:

• Renewable energy sources include solar energy, wind power etc.


• Solar hot water systems cannot be considered as power genera on source.

Benefits An cipated

On-site renewable systems minimise the environmental impacts associated with the use of fossil
fuel energy. Use of renewable energy means reduc ons in air and water pollu on, benefi ng all
community members.

Na onal / Interna onal Examples

An es mated 25,000kW of On-site renewable energy systems have been installed in


IGBC rated green building projects in India. This has resulted in es mated energy savings of
13,000 -15,000 MWh for every one million square feet of green building space.

About IGBC
(Indian Green Building Council)

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), part of the Confedera on of Indian Industry (CII) was formed in
the year 2001. The vision of the council is, "To enable a sustainable built environment for all and facilitate
India to be one of the global leaders in the sustainable built environment by 2025".

The council offers a wide array of services which include developing new green building ra ng programmes,
cer fica on services and green building training programmes. The council also organises Green Building
Congress, its annual flagship event on green buildings.

The council is commi ee-based, member-driven and consensus-focused. All the stakeholders of
construc on industry comprising of architects, developers, product manufacturers, corporate,
Government, academia and nodal agencies par cipate in the council ac vi es through local chapters.
The council also closely works with several State Governments, Central Government, World Green Building
Council, bilateral mul -lateral agencies in promo ng green building concepts in the country.

Green Building Movement in India

The Green Building movement in India was triggered off when CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre
building in Hyderabad was awarded with the first and the pres gious Pla num rated green building ra ng in
India. Since then, Green Building movement in India has gained tremendous impetus over the years.

With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq. . green built-up area in the country in the year 2003, today
(as on December 2015) more than 3,423 Green Buildings projects coming up with a footprint of over
3.15 Billion sq. are registered with the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), out of which
750 Green Building projects are cer fied and fully func onal in India. This growth has been possible with the
par cipa on of all stakeholders in the green building movement.

Today all types of buildings are going the Green way- Government, IT Parks, Offices, Residen al, Banks,
Airports, Conven on Centre, Ins tu ons, Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, Factories, SEZs, Campuses, Townships,
Metro Sta ons, Ci es etc.,
