Insights on Green Building Rating Systems for Housing in India and Their Assessment with Pillars of Sustainability

India has three primary methods established for assessing green buildings. These rating tools have different categories and credit criteria for evaluating green building performance. Existing methods can be applied to different types of buildings addressing multiple aspects and variations. This paper discusses LEED-India, GRIHA, and IGBC rating systems and assesses them with three pillars of sustainability developed by the united nations: social, economic, and environmental. However, the rating systems preferred here for assessment are only limited to the residential sector. This research evaluates the rating system based on an extensive literature study and assesses these criteria based on socio, economic, and environmental parameters. The paper summarises suggestions based on three parameters and proposes aspects that can further enhance and strengthen India's green building rating system.
