What is LEED India?
LEED India is the indigenized version of the LEED rating system and is administered by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) under license agreement with the USGBC. Launch of LEED India Green Building rating system for New Construction and Core & Shell lead to a significant growth in registration of new commercial building projects for green certification. LEED India rating system refers to local and national codes wherever available and to intentional benchmarks in absence an Indian equivalent. LEED India rating system is a performance based approach. Rather than prescribing specific technologies & materials LEED India sets the performance benchmarks and encourages the project team to achieve them with optimal resource inputs in their context.
