Case Studies on Green Institutional Buildings in India (original) (raw)

Resource efficiency is a prerequisite to sustainability in the built environment. Various codes, standards, manuals used by public agencies for design and execution of projects, and educational curriculum for graduate studies require integration of green building principles. However, detailed case studies on prevalent building envelope and energy system design strategies in the Indian context are required for education of students and practitioners. This paper documents envelope and energy system details of three public sector institutional buildings in the composite climate zone of India. Since these are government buildings, their environmental performance has been evaluated using the GRIHA green building rating system. The information is published to provide an education tool for various stakeholders.
