Book Details
GRIHA for Existing Buildings rating is an integrated green building rating tool to evaluate the performance of existing buildings and provide solutions for enhanced energy and water efficiency, increased thermal & visual comfort, and decreased operational & maintenance costs. While focusing on the above, the tool has been developed with the underlying objectives of simplicity of execution, economic viability and alignment with national and international codes and standards. The rating endeavours to cover various categories of buildings across diverse climatic zones of the country. The rating system is a 100 point system consisting of 12 criteria categorized under seven sections such as Site Parameters, Maintenance & Housekeeping, Energy, Water, Human Health & Comfort, and Social Aspects. The minimum points required for certification is 25.
About GRIHA:
