Note to the Editor:

USGBC and GRIHA’s (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) mission is to transform the built environment around the globe. Green buildings provide healthier indoor environments, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and save money for building owners through reduced energy, waste and water use. This strategic partnership demonstrates that both organizations believe in the potential for green building practices to flourish in the India and Southeast Asia markets. Universally, green building rating systems rate buildings based on pre-set criteria/benchmarks that define definite green/sustainability parameters. GRIHA is continuously evolving a system that attempts to address India specific challenges in the sector through a robust yet flexible rating framework and strong implementation focus.
