Indigenous rating system
The system acknowledges the diverse climatic conditions of the country which become the underlying factor for the formulation of GRIHA rating. The rating system aims at providing inherent solutions for thermal comfort within each region.
Adoption of holistic approach towards sustainability
The rating system was developed with the intent to promote sustainability by not just underlining the environmental aspects but also focusing on the social and economic aspects as well.
Process driven and performance oriented
Every stage of construction, starting from design conception to execution, is vital to achieve sustainability. GRIHA takes into account all the stages, including design, procurement, and implementation to avoid disruption to the ecological system and construct high-performing sustainable structures.
Integrated team approach
With the aim to interact with the project team and guide them through the rating process, an orientation workshop is conducted by GRIHA Council where representatives from different divisions handling the project are present to understand their role in making the project GRIHA compliant.
