Use of Certified Green Building Material, Products & Equipments

� Intent

� Use certified green building materials, products,

& equipment to reduce dependence on

materials that have associated environmental

impacts

Approach towards “Cradle to Cradle”


Need for Green Products Certification

� Substantial growth in Green

Buildings

� Expected to reach 10 billion sq.ft by

year 2022

� Increased demand for credible

Green building products

Till year 2015

3,450 Registered Green

Building Projects

3.2 Billion sq.ft.

Typical Questions

• How do I know the product is green ?

• If green, to what extent ?

• Is it green in performance (or) materials used ?

• What if the product is green in performance but not during manufacture?

• Is it toxic?

• What happens at the end of life?

Challenges Faced by Green Building Proponents

Thus far…

• Extent of Green based on declarations

� Examinee & Examiners are same

• Dependence on Certifications from other countries

� Not fine tuned for Indian conditions
