Introduction
What is Griha?
GRIHA stands for Green Rating for
Integrated Habitat Assessment.
It is a rating tool that helps people assess the
performance of a building against certain
nationally acceptable benchmarks.
The purpose of GRIHA is to minimize a
building’s resource consumption, waste
generation, and overall ecological impact.
A building is assessed based on its predicted
performance over its entire life cycle - pre
construction stage, building planning and
construction stage, and building operation and
maintenance stage.

 Features of Griha
• The system has been developed to help 'design and evaluate' new buildings (buildings that
are still at the inception stages). A building is assessed based on its predicted performance
over its entire life cycle – inception through operation. The stages of the life cycle that have
been identified for evaluation are:

• Pre-construction stage: (intra- and inter-site issues like proximity to public transport, type of
soil, kind of land, where the property is located, the flora and fauna on the land before
construction activity starts, the natural landscape and land features).

• Building planning and construction stages: (issues of resource conservation and reduction in
resource demand, resource utilization efficiency, resource recovery and reuse, and
provisions for occupant health and well-being). The prime resources that are considered in
this section are land, water, energy, air, and green cover.

• Building operation and maintenance stage: (issues of operation and maintenance of building
systems and processes, monitoring and recording of energy consumption, and occupant
health and well-being, and also issues that affect the global and local environment).

 Rating System
• GRIHA rating variants undergo periodical technical
divisions, the latest one being GRIHA V2019.
• According to GRIHA V2019, a building is given certain
number of points on efficiently implementing a criterion.
• There are 11 sections consisting of a total of 30
criterions.
• The total points is 100 for fulfilling the 29 criterions.
Extra 5 points are given for Innovation.
• Based on the number of points, one to five stars are
given for the building.

IIM KOZHIKODE

Location : Kozhikode, Kerala

GRIHA Rating : 5 Star Rating (version: 3.1)
Year of Completion : 2019
Architect: Joseph Allen Stein
The campus is spread across 2 hillocks which are a part of the
western ghats.
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DESIGN

• All buildings are oriented to a central

courtyard – typical “naalukettu” of
Kerala’s traditional architecture,(Sloping
roof, mangalore tiles).
• Use of locally available materials for
pavements reduces the carbon footprint
in transportation.
• The interaction of built and open spaces
play a major role in the well-being of the
occupants.
• Site planning is responsive to the
topographical character of the site.
 SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DETAILS
Site Planning:
• The site originally had about 1200 mature trees, out of which nearly 100 were cut and about 5 times of the cut trees were
planted.
• Air pollution control measures such as site barricading, wheel washing facility were strictly adhered to during
construction.
Water Management:
• Reduction of 59.26% from the GRIHA base case has been demonstrated in the building water demand by installing
water efficient fixtures.
• Reduction of 76.77% from the GRIHA base case has been demonstrated in the landscape water demand.
• Hessian cloth was used for curing of columns and ponding technique was used for curing of slabs.
• The project meets 100% of the water demand through reuse of treated water and collected rainwater.
Water and Waste:
• Reduction of 50.16% from the SVAGRIHA base case has been demonstrated in building water demand by installing
water efficient fixtures.
• Reduction of 53.44% from the SVAGRIHA base case has been demonstrated in the landscape water demand.
• Rainwater recharge pit of 1,14,290 litres capacity has been constructed on site.

SVAGRIHA, an abbreviation for Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA, was conceived to spread out the concept of green buildings and sustainability to small-
scale stakeholders, that is, owners of projects such as bungalows and small offices.
 SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DETAILS
Energy Optimization and Occupant Comfort:
• Digital timer control has been provided for 100% of the outdoor lighting system.
• 52.3% of the habitable spaces are day-lit and meet the daylight factors as prescribed by NBC code, 2005.
• 50 kWp solar PV panels have been installed on site.
• Solar hot water system (flat plate collector type) of a total of 16,000 lpd capacity was installed in the project.
Sustainable Building Materials:
• Fly-ash bricks and AAC blocks have been used for walling in the project.
• Pozzolana Portland cement with 34.4% fly-ash content by weight has been used in plaster and masonry
mortar.
• More than 70% of the materials used for internal partitions/ paneling /false ceiling /in-built furniture are low-
energy.
Waste Management:
• Multi-colored bins have been provided at every floor to collect and segregate waste at source.
• A dedicated place has been provided on site to store segregated waste prior to disposal

EPI-Energy performance index

 Green Strategies – Phase V Green Campus

Wheel washing and site barricading facilities.

Providing low flow water fixtures, recycling of grey water and onsite treatment of black water.
Planting contextual species help reduce the water demand.
Adjusting water schedules and following efficient watering techniques such as sprinkler
systems and drip irrigation system.
RAINWATER MANAGEMENT:
Rainwater harvesting has been implemented at IIMK by utilizing the rainfall run-off from
the roofs of the Campus buildings by means of eave-level gutters and downpipes which lead to
storm water drains built by the road sides. This together with the rainfall run-off available from
the Campus land forms the catchment area for the rainwater harvesting scheme.
The run-off collected through a network of storm water drains lead to the re-charging area on
the upstream side of the storage facility, i.e. the Rainwater Harvesting Pond.
