    The report finds that many green-rated buildings in India are underperforming and not meeting even the minimum energy efficiency benchmarks required for a one-star rating under India's star-labeling program. Data from the Indian Green Building Council shows that buildings rated as silver, gold, or platinum under the LEED green-rating program are consuming more energy than projected. The report questions whether green-rated buildings are truly saving 30-50% energy and 20-30% water as claimed, since there is no stringent monitoring of actual resource use during operation or evidence of buildings meeting minimum green standards.

    ing programme, show they

    are grossly underperform-


    ing, the report says.
    Several of them cannot
    qualify even for the one-
    star label under the star-
    labelling programme that
    ranks buildings based on
    their energy efficiency
    when operational.
    India started to mirror
    the global trends in green
    rating when the United
    States Green Building
    Council (USGBC) began
    rating buildings in India.
    In 2007, LEED India
    (Leadership in Energy and
    environmental Design-In-
    dia) was adapted from the
    USGBC LEED programme.
    This is a private initiative
    run by the IGBC.
    India adopted the Green-
    rated Integrated Habitat
    Assessment (GRIHA) as the
    national rating system for
    buildings in 2007, the re-
    port says.
    The total green-rated
    built-up area is not even
    three per cent of the built-
    up area in the country. Ex-
    amining the green ratings,
    the CSE said the claim that
    buildings rated by the IGBC
    and GRIHA save 30-50 per
    cent energy and 20-30 per
    cent water was not sup-
    ported by data or evidence
    of compliance and per-
    formance of each rated
    building.
    Several State govern-
    ments were giving scal in-
    centives and allowance of
    extra built-up area to devel-
    opers to promote private
    green-rating programmes.
    The report points to a lack
    of stringent and transpar-
    ent monitoring of actual
    energy and resource use
    during building operation,
    and questions the need for
    a few green-rated buildings
    which were given sops for
    meeting the minimum
    green standards that all
    buildings must ideally
    implement.
    NEW DELHI: Green-rated
    buildings are falling below
    the minimum benchmarks
    of their official star rating
    by the Bureau of Energy Ef-
    ciency (BEE), says a report
    Building sense beyond
    the green faade of sustain-
    able habitat by the Cen-
    tre for Science and
    Environment released
    recently.
    Data put out by the Indi-
    an Green Building Council
    (IGBC) on energy con-
    sumption of large commer-
    cial buildings that were
    rated and awarded silver,
    gold and platinum ratings,
    under the Leadership in En-
    ergy and Environmental

    Green-rated buildings not keeping
    their promise, says CSE report
    Meena Menon
    Many dont qualify even for one-star label under BEE programme
    India started to mirror
