2. Reduction of waste generation during construction and air pollution
3. Improved indoor environmental quality
4. Sustainable site selection and development with minimum disturbance to surrounding

The programme ‘Green Building – Leading to Sustainability’ is an initiative designed to promote environmentally responsible and resource-efficient design and construction practices. It focuses on reducing the environmental impact of buildings while enhancing economic performance and improving the wellbeing of occupants.As buildings account for a significant share of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, green building programs are essential in achieving long-term sustainability goals for the built environment.

Objectives of the Special Programme

The Green Buildings – Leading to Sustainability Programme aims to:

1. Promote sustainable design encourage architects and engineers to adopt environmentally friendly designs.
2. Improve energy efficiency to reduce energy consumption through renewable energy integration and efficient systems selection
3. Conserve natural resources, encourage water recycling, rainwater harvesting, and sustainable material sourcing.
4. Reduce carbon foot print to lower greenhouse gas emissions from building construction and operations.
