GRIHA & Green Building Rating for India
This comprehensive course covers India's green building ecosystem, centred on the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) — the national rating system developed by TERI and endorsed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). You will master the 34 criteria across four sections (Site Planning, Building Planning & Construction, Building Operation & Maintenance, and Innovation), understand the IGBC rating system comparison, navigate the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2017 compliance requirements, evaluate green building materials, interpret energy simulation outputs, and prepare complete documentation for GRIHA certification. The course draws on real project case studies and equips you with the technical competence to advise on green building rating submissions in India.
