Introduction

India w as one of the first in Asia to recognize the effectiveness of the Export ProcessingZone (EPZ) model in promoting exports, with Asias first EPZ set up in Kandla in1965.

The Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Policy was announced in April 2000 with anintention to make SEZ an engine for economic growth supported by qualityinfrastructure.

The Indian Green Building Council along with Ministry of Commerce & Industryhas prepared the Green SEZ guidelines. The feedback and suggestions of severalstakeholders were sou ght d uring interactions held at various m ajor cities - New Delhi,

Cochin, Mumbai, Hyd erabad and Noida.

IGBC has developed green building rating programmes to cover commercial,residential, factory bu ildings, etc., Rating pr ogramm es wou ld help p rojects to ad dressall aspects related to environm ent and is an effective tool to measu re the p erformanceof the building/ project.

The IGBC Green SEZ Rating System (Pilot ver sion) is an extension of the Green SEZguid elines. The rating system encoura ges the projects to surpa ss the requirements of many codes and standards.

The rating programme is a tool which enables the designer to apply green concepts

and criteria, so as to reduce the environmental impacts, which are measurable. Theprogramme covers methodologies to cover diverse climatic zones and changinglifestyles.

I. National Priorities Addressed in the Rating System

The Green SEZ Rating System ad dr esses the most importan t Na tional priorities wh ichinclude Site Preservation & Restoration, Reduced Use of Fossil Fuels, EnergyEfficiency, Water Efficiency and Handling of Solid Waste.

Site Preservation & Restoration:

The construction process often effects site ecology. Considering this, the IGBC GreenSEZ rating system is designed to ad dress p rotection of vegetation and water bod ies,resulting in preservation of habitat and redu ction of heat island effect.

Reduced Use of Fossil Fuels:

Fossil fuel is a slowly depleting resource, world over. The use of fossil fuel fortransp ortation is a major source of pollution. The rating system encourag es the use of bicycles, public transport an d a lternate fuels for tran sportation.

Energy Efficiency:

The commercial and industrial sectors are large consumers of electrical energy. By

adopting IGBC Green SEZ rating programme, energy consumption can be reducedthrough efficient bu ilding envelope, lighting, air conditioning systems, motors, pu mp s,renew able energy systems, etc., The energy sav ings that can be realised by ad optingthis rating pr ogramm e can be to the tu ne of 20 30%.

Water Efficiency:

Most of the Asian countries are water stressed and in countries like India the watertable has red uced dra stically over the last d ecade. IGBC Green SEZ encourages u se of water in a self - sustainable mann er throu gh red ucing, recycling and reusing strategies.By adop ting this rating program me green SEZ can save potable water to an extent of 30 50%.

Handling of Solid Waste:Handling of solid waste is extremely difficult as most of the waste generated is notsegregated at sou rce and has a h igh pr obability of going to land fills. This continuesto be a challenge to the mu nicipalities which needs to be add ressed. IGBC intents toaddress this by encouraging SEZ to segregate and divert the solid waste effectivelyfor reuse and recycling.

II. Benefits of Green SEZ

National benefits:

G Reduction in energy use and conn ected load leading to savings in infrastructureinvestments

G Reduction in potable water savings and public investments related to wastewater treatment

G Reduction in fuel use for transp ort, thereby saving on oil imp ort bills

G Organised h andling of waste and waste management

G Incubation of green bu ilding materials manu facturers, thereby leading to lowercost of creating g reen SEZs.

Benefits at local level

G Encourage local econom y

G Better q ua lity of life for the occup ant s of SEZs

G Optim um utilization of resources Energy, Water

G Reduced operational cost for the occupants

III. Features of IGBC Green SEZ

IGBC Green SEZ Rating System is a volun tary an d consensu s based p rogram me. Therating system has been developed based on materials and technologies that arepresently available. The objective of IGBC Green SEZ is to facilitate the creation of energy efficient, water efficient, healthy, comfortable and environm entally friend lySEZ.

IGBC Green SEZ


The rating system evaluates certain credit points using a prescriptive approach

and o ther credits on a performance based approach. The rating system is evolved soas to be comprehensive and at the same time user-friendly.

The rating programme uses well accepted national standards and wherever local ornational standard s are not available, app ropriate international benchmarks have beenconsidered.

IV. IGBC Green SEZ Process

The guidelines d etailed un der each m andatory requirement & credit enables the designand construction of green SEZ of all sizes and types. IGBC Green SEZ addresses

green features under the following categories:

G Site Preservation & Restoration

G Site Planning & Design

G Water Efficiency

G Energy Efficiency

G Materials & Resources

G Innovation & Design Process

Different levels of green bu ilding certification are aw ard ed based on the total creditsearned. However, every Green SEZ should meet certain mandatory requirements,which are non-negotiable.

IGBC Green SEZ Certification Levels

The threshold criteria for certification levels are a s u nd er:

Certification Level Points Recognition

Certified 51-60 Best Practices

Silver 61-70 Outstanding Performance

a. D ocumentation

The project team is expected to p rovide gen eral information of the project includingmaster plan, area statement, project brief stating project type, land use, etc., andsup porting d ocuments at each stage of subm ission for all the man datory requ irementsand the credits attempted. Supporting documents are those which provide specificproof of meeting the required performance level, such as, filled-in master template(in excel format); narratives, drawings (in pdf format only), calculations (in excelsheet); declarations, contract docum ents, manu facturers cutsheets/ letters / materialtest reports, purchase invoices , etc., for each man datory r equirement/ credit, asapplicable. These details are mentioned in this guide, under each mandatoryrequirement and credit.

Documentation is submitted in two phases design submittals and constructionsubmittals:

G The design submission involves those credits which can be evaluated at thedesign stage. The abridged reference guide provides the list of design andconstruction phase credits. After the design submission, review is done bythird party assessors and review comments would be p rovided.

G The next phase involves submission of clarifications to design queries andconstruction documen t submittal. The constru ction docu ment is submitted oncompletion of the project. This review will also be provided, after which therating is awarded .

It is importan t to note that the credits earned at th e design review are on ly consideredas anticipated and are not awarded until the final construction documents aresubmitted along w ith add itional documents show ing implementation of d esignfeatures. If there are changes for any d esign credit anticipated , these changes need tobe documented and resubmitted for the construction review p hase.

IGBC wi ll recognise S EZ that achieve one of the rating leve ls w ith a formal letterof certification and a mountable plaque.

b. Precerti fication

Projects by d evelopers can r egister for Precertification. This is an op tion p rovided forprojects aspiring to get precertified at the d esign stage. The d ocumen tation subm ittedfor precertification m ust d etail the p roject design features wh ich w ill be implemented .


11/76

IGBC Green SEZ


The rating awarded under precertification is based on the projects intention to

conform to the requirements of IGBC Green SEZ Rating system. It is important tonote that the precertification rating awarded need not neccesarily correspond to thefinal certification.

Precertified p rojects are requ ired to p rovide the statu s of the pro ject to IGBC, in relationto the rating, once in every six months u ntil the award of the final rating.

Precertification gives the developer/ own er a unique ad vantag e to mark et the projectto potential buyers.

Those projects which seek precer t i f ica t ion need to submit the fo l lowing

documentation:

G General informa tion of the project includ ing master plan, area statement, projectbrief stating project type, land use, etc., and supporting documents at eachstage of submission for all the mandatory requirements and the creditsattempted.

G Supporting documents are those which provide specific proof of meeting therequired performan ce level, such as, filled-in m aster temp late (in excel format);narratives, drawings (in pdf format only), calculations (in excel sheet);declarations, contract docu ments, manu facturers cutsheets/ letters/ materialtest reports, purchase invoices , etc., for each mand atory requirem ent/ credit,as app licable. These details are mentioned in this guid e, und er each mand atoryrequirement and credit.

IGBC would review the first set of precertification documents. On receiving theclarifications p osed in the first review, IGBC w ould awa rd the p recertification.

A certificate and a letter are p rovided to p rojects on precertification.

c. Credit Interpretation Ruling

In some instances the design team can face certain challenges in applying orinterpreting a mandatory requirement or a credit. It can also happen in cases wherethe pr oject can op t to achieve the same goal throu gh a d ifferent comp liance route.

To resolve this, IGBC uses th e process of Cred it Interp retation Ruling (CIR) to ensu rethat ru lings are consistent and app licable to other p rojects as well.


12/76


IGBC Green SEZ

12

The following ar e the steps to be followed in case the p roject team faces a p roblem:

G Consult the Reference Guide for description of the credit goal, complianceoptions and calculations.

G Review the goal of the credit or mandatory requirement and self-evaluatewh ether th e pr oject satisfies the goal.

G Review the Credit Interpretation web page for previous CIR on the relevantcredit or mandatory requirement. All projects registered under IGBC GreenSEZ Rating System will have access to this page.

G If a similar CIR has not been addressed or does not answer the questionsufficiently, submit a credit interpretation request. Only registered projectsare eligible to post CIRs. Two CIRs are answ ered w ithout levying an y fee andfor any CIR beyond the first two CIRs, a fee is levied. For further details onCIR, please visit www.igbc.in.

d. Appeal

Generally, credits get denied due to misinterpretation of the goal. On receipt of thefinal review, the project team has th e option to app eal to IGBC for reassessment of denied credits or mand atory requirements. The documentation for the mand atoryrequirements or credits seeking appeal may be resubmitted to IGBC along withnecessary fee. IGBC will review such documentation. These submissions would bereviewed by an assessor not involved in the earlier assessments. Documen tation forappeals should include the following:

i. Documentation submitted for design submission

ii. Documentation submitted for construction submission

iii. Clarifications along with supporting documentation

V. Updates and Addenda

This is the abridged r eference guid e (pilot version) of IGBC Green SEZ Rating System.As the rating system continues to improve and evolve, updates and add enda to theabridged reference guide w ill be mad e available. These additions w ill be incorporatedin the next version of the rating system.
