"Green Makeovers, Green Beginnings: IGBC Certification Paves the Way for Existing Spaces and New Constructions!"
Phases of the IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) Certification Process for New and Existing Buildings:
Pre-Design Phase:
- Project Planning: Establishing project goals and objectives related to sustainability and green building certification.
- Site Selection: Evaluating potential sites based on environmental considerations such as location, accessibility, and impact on natural resources.
- Market Analysis: Assessing market demand and feasibility for green building features and certification in the specific project context.
Design and Documentation Phase:
- Integrated Design Process: Collaborating with architects, engineers, and consultants to integrate sustainable design principles from the outset.
- Energy Modeling: Conducting energy simulations and modeling to optimize building performance and energy efficiency.
- Water Management Strategies: Developing strategies for efficient water use, including rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and water-efficient fixtures.
Construction Phase:
- Green Material Selection: Selecting environmentally preferable materials with low embodied energy, recycled content, and minimal environmental impact.
- Construction Waste Management: Implementing practices to reduce construction waste, reuse materials, and recycle where feasible.
- Site Management: Implementing erosion control measures, protecting existing vegetation, and minimizing construction impacts on the environment.
Certification Phase:
- Documentation Submission: Submitting comprehensive documentation and reports detailing compliance with IGBC criteria and sustainable practices.
- Review and Evaluation: IGBC reviews the submitted documentation, conducts site visits, and verifies compliance with green building criteria.
- Certification Decision: IGBC awards certification based on the project's adherence to green building principles, sustainability performance, and meeting certification requirements.
Post-Occupancy Phase:
- Occupant Education: Providing educational materials and programs to building occupants about the benefits of green building features and sustainable living practices.
- Performance Monitoring: Monitoring the building's ongoing energy and water usage, indoor air quality, and overall environmental performance.
- Feedback and Improvement: Implementing feedback mechanisms to continuously improve building operations, address occupant concerns, and optimize sustainability performance over time.
Each stage of the IGBC certification process emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and commitment to sustainable practices to create buildings that are environmentally responsible, resource-efficient, and conducive to occupant health and well-being, whether they are new constructions or existing buildings.
