65% of office space in India is green-certified: Vestian

Grade A office buildings with a built-up area of less than 5 lakh sq ft account for 47% of the total number of green-certified buildings. On the other hand, office buildings with a built-up area of more than 10 lakh sq ft account for only 19% of the total number of green-certified buildings. Despite this, 90% of the total projects within this category still qualify as green buildings, showcasing a strong focus on sustainability. Notably, green certification is rare in office buildings with a built-up area of less than 1 lakh sq ft. This signifies lower preference for sustainability practices amongst small and medium-scale developers and occupiers.

Checklist to buy environment friendly homes

The buyers can also check whether the developer has put in place systems that manage household waste and construction waste, reuse of salvaged material and recycling. For example, some of the developers are using garbage chute that collects the food waste of residents and transfers it to the compost machines to make compost for the green area maintenance. These are the features that really make a project environment friendly and the buyer can ask for these details in writing.

Green development policies contradictory

Urban habitation at the cost of environmental concerns have globally been debated and contested. In India the environmental concerns have often stalled big-ticket infrastructure projects and the government also vows its commitment to encourage the eco friendly and sustainable developments. However, some recent decisions have exposed the gap between the lip service of the policy makers and their commitment to the cause of eco friendly and sustainable developments.
