The Indian Army’s new Thal Sena Bhawan (TSB) is coming up with GRIHA-IV (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) norms.
About GRIHA norms:
GRIHA is an acronym for Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment. GRIHA is a Sanskrit word meaning – ‘Abode’.
It is a rating tool that helps people assess the performance of their building against certain nationally acceptable benchmarks.
It evaluates the environmental performance of a building holistically over its entire life cycle, thereby providing a definitive standard for what constitutes a ‘green building’.
The rating system, based on accepted energy and environmental principles, will seek to strike a balance between the established practices and emerging concepts, both national and international.
It is developed by TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute).
This tool has been adopted by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Criteria:
It assesses a building out of 34 criteria and awards points on a scale of 100.
In order to qualify for GRIHA certification, a project must achieve at least 50 points.
Certain criteria / sub-criteria are mandatory and have to be complied with for the project to be at all eligible for rating.
Project scoring
50-60 points are certified as a 1-star GRIHA rated building,
