This is a national-level recognition for our green-rated building based on two-year post-certification performance data.

There are more than 1500 green building projects in the country which are up & running and today India stands tall amongst countries that have embraced sustainability. While many projects designed as green are in operation, there is now a dire need to sustain the benefits during the lifetime of the project.

To facilitate fully certified green building projects to continue maintaining the facility as green, IGBC launched the ‘Performance Challenge for Green Built Environment’ programme. Outstanding projects that have demonstrated leadership in their own typologies were recognised and felicitated during IGBC’s flagship event Green Building Congress held at Hyderabad.
