VISION

Jamshyd N Godrej Chairman, CII- Godrej GBC

Dear Friends,

We often hear the impact of climate change as projections of the future. This may

not be true. We are already facing the climate crisis. The Cape Town water crisis

few years ago, forcing the Government to ‘Countdown to zero’ is a case in point.

Many Indian cities would most likely go this way, if we don’t treat and reuse waste

water. Paradoxically, we don’t have synthetic substitutes for water. Air quality in

Indian cities is going from bad to worse. There has been a lot of news about New

Delhi. It is not very different in other Indian cities. The loss of urban greenery,

since the 1960s is something which all of us have to be concerned.

Amidst the current and looming environmental challenges that are staring us,

solutions have to come from the civil society and industry in particular. I am very

pleased to witness how Indian industry is taking conscious and concerted efforts

in addressing ecological issues and converting challenges into new growth

opportunities. Indian building sector has been one of the early adopters of eco-

friendly practices and approaches across various forms of built environment. This

has been made possible largely due to the ‘Movement driven’ approach adopted

by CII, since 2001. This holistic approach in turn has facilitated India emerge as

one of the global leaders in green buildings.

Today, concerns like air quality, urban transportation, waste management, health

& wellbeing of occupants, livability in cities and other related issues are receiving

increased attention and it is pleasing to learn how innovative & futuristic

solutions are coming from industry. The need of the hour is to further accelerate

this new wave of green transformation and facilitate a greener and healthier

tomorrow. I heartily thank Mr V Suresh, Mr Gurmit Singh Arora, chairs and co-

chairs of IGBC local chapters and technical committee members for their

leadership.

We look forward to your continued support and together, we shall make it

happen!

With best regards

from Chairman, CII - Godrej GBC

Message

Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), over a span of about 20 years has evolved

itself as an eminent Council to contribute to Country’s green growth. IGBC’s

approaches is aligned with National priorities and complements various

Government initiatives including the National Building Code (NBC); Energy

Conservation Building Code (ECBC); Smart Cities Mission; Swachh Bharat

Mission; AMRUT cities, PMAY. Further, in a small but significant way, IGBC is also

playing a catalytic role in realizing UN’s SDG goals.

We have today touched the 7 billion sq. ft of registered green building footprint.

We are inching closer to our cherished vision of facilitating 10 billion sq. ft of

green building footprint by 2022. As we see, with all your continued support, we

would reach the vision well before 2022. As we march ahead in greening various

forms of built environment, this target is well within our reach and we must take

the movement to the next level and further galvanize our efforts in facilitating

India emerge as one of the global leaders in green built environment by 2025.

The year 2018-2019 has been inspiring and exciting. Our aspiration to green

various forms of built environment received a major fillip, when we launched 3

new rating systems- Green Resorts, Net Zero and Hill Habitat, taking the total to

25. Our aspiration to facilitate in greening of various forms of built environment,

would continue in the years to come.

The support and guidance of various Government departments to our green

building mission has always been excellent and is paving way for offering more

incentives/ fast track approvals for IGBC projects. States of Haryana and Andhra

Pradesh have started offering incentives for IGBC projects, since the last one year.

Our partnership with Indian Railways has gained significant momentum and the

second phase of MoU signed on 13 September 2019 will further strengthen our

activities in greening of more railway stations, schools, homes, hospitals,

administrative blocks of Indian Railways.

Our IGBC local chapters have been in the forefront of percolating the green

building movement to the hinterlands of the Country. The launch of IGBC local

chapters in Nashik and Mangaluru will further catapult our movement in the

respective regions. We aspire to have our local chapters spread across tier-II and

tier-III cities. The target is to have 50 local chapters by 2025.

IGBC Green League (IGL) has consolidated itself as one of India’s premier green

quiz contest for young minds. It is growing in stature and reach. It is truly

from Chairman, IGBC

Message

Vasudevan Suresh Chairman, IGBC

inspiring to witness how in our current 4th edition, we have reached over 400

participants (212 teams) in 14 cities.

The Green your School Contest for the past 12 years is as inspiring as it can be.

This year we had the largest participation from 785 schools, across the Country. 8

Schools have been selected for sponsorship support and implementation. The

Architectural Design Contest 2019 had the participation of 61 colleges (159

submissions) and theme was ‘Revitalizing Unorganized Settlements’. All these

initiatives are aimed at reaching the young minds and inspire them to embrace

green.

Our MoU with CREDAI for further fostering and promoting green buildings will

further galvanize our concerted efforts in greening various forms of built

environment and reaching out to the real estate community. Green Building

Congress, now into its 17th edition has become the springboard to advance the

green building movement.

The icing on the cake is the award of IGBC Net Zero Energy Platinum rating to CII-

Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre- the headquarters of IGBC. In many ways,

this unique distinction has ushered in a new wave of Net Zero Energy building

movement in India. I am sure, in days to come, India will embrace Net Zero Energy

buildings.

As you flip through these pages, you will find many inspiring and delightful

stories of a greener and healthier tomorrow. This was made possible only with all

your support and involvement. I just wanted to say a big thank you for being part

of this great green journey.

My colleague Gurmit Singh and my chapter chairs & co-chairs and technical

committee members are scripting new milestones and various success stories.

My profound thanks and gratitude to all the members.

I look forward to your continued support and involvement in building a greener

and healthier India.

With best regards
