Green Buildings in India

A ‘green building’ is designed to be as efficient as possible in its use of energy, resources such as water and building materials, disposal of solid waste and functionally, financially and aesthetically viable to both client and builder.

S. Raghupathy, director of the Hyderabad-based Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) set up in 2000, says the country’s modest 25,000 square feet of ‘green buildings’ in 2003 has grown to a phenomenal 25 million sq.ft in just 4 years, projected to grow to one billion sq. ft per year by 2010.

Part of the reason for this rapid growth is India’s high economic growth and emerging status of global business giant, resulting in imminent demand for commercial, infrastructural and residential construction.

Green Buildings Popular With Builders, Clients.
