GRIHA
Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Asswessment
United Kingdom 1990
Developed by TERI
Endorsed by MNRE,
GoI
The rating applies to new building stock commercial, institutional, and residential
GRIHA encourages optimization of building design to reduce conventional energy demand
further optimize energy performance of the building within specified comfort limits
A building is assessed on its predicted performance over its entire life cycle from inception
through operation.
GRIHA stresses passive solar techniques for optimizing visual and thermal comfort indoors
GRIHA integrates all relevant Indian codes and standards for buildings and acts as a tool to
facilitate implementation of the same
