How does LEED India New Construction work?
LEED India for New Construction is a performance-oriented rating system where building projects earn points for satisfying criteria designed to address specific environmental impacts inherent in the design, construction, operations and management of a building. The LEED India certification system is organized into six environmental categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality. Additional points are reserved under the Innovation & Design category to reward LEED India projects that develop new solutions, employ new technologies or realize exemplary performance in any LEED India criterion.
