Why did these buildings go green?
CII-Godrej GBC
ITC Green Centre
Shift from Green Image to
benefits
Tangible benefits
Energy savings : 30-50%
Water savings : 20-30%
Intangible benefits
All good aspects associated
to green
Better Indoor ambience
Day lighting & views
Improved health and
productivity
Higher premium in leased

What did LEED Buildings do differently
in India?
Confederation of Indian Industry
The way we look at buildings today-
Glass and Glazing
High Performance Glass : Equivalent to a Brick Wall
0.20-0.25 0.4 0.5 Shading Co-efficient
(Double Glazed)
1.8-2.2 3.0 4.0 U value
(W/sq.m/Deg K)
(Double Glazed)
< 50 % 60 to 90% Extent of glazing in
the facade
After LEED Before

Myth # 1
Green Buildings are Costly
Recently Rated Green Buildings
Confederation of Indian Industry
Green Building - Cost
Incremental cost depends on
initial design
Typical culture
Cost over run
Green Building rating
Vulnerable Scapegoat
Need to fix baseline cost &
evaluate
ITC Green Centre

Confederation of Indian Industry
Reality
Design parameters are
frozen at one go
Only little additional effort
required
Rating awarded coinciding
with the commissioning
Myth # 2
Green Buildings Take More Time
HITAM, Hyderabad
Rating System Has no Impact on Project Time Schedule
Confederation of Indian Industry
Reality
Non air-conditioned building can
also be a Green Building
Suited for Indian buildings
Eg., IGP Office at Gulbarga
Wind Tower cooling
Gold rated
Hyderabad Institute of
Management & Technology,
Hyderabad
Silver rated
Myth # 3
Green Buildings require Air-Conditioning
IGP Office, Gulbarga
