Green building certification
If you’ve got it…get it certified!
The importance of Green Building in today’s world can hardly be overstated. As world population increases, so does the demand for shelter…a demand that must be met sustainably. Green buildings play a pivotal role in addressing the need for human shelter while ensuring a minimal impact on the environment.
That being said, how do we decide which building is a green building? How do we measure the building’s impact on the environment? How do we assess the savings achieved in terms of energy and water, or the quality of indoor air? That’s where Green Building Certification comes in.
Green Building Certification is a way of analyzing, measuring, and confirming the impact of designing and constructing energy-efficient, water-conserving buildings that use sustainable or green resources and materials. There are a number of point-based systems developed by independent as well as government bodies across the world. The LEED rating system developed by the US Green Building Council, the BREEAM system by the Building Research Establishment Trust, UK, the Estidama PBRS by the Abu Dhabi Municipality, the Al Safat guidelines of Dubai Municipality, the Trakhees / EHS Green Building Guidelines and the GRIHA system developed by the Indian Green Building Council are just some of the well-known certification methods. These systems can be used to rate the green building level of a building and look for ways to improve upon it!
