20. LEED® India for New Construction
LEED-INDIA for New Construction and Major Renovations is a green building rating system that
helps to guide and design high-performance commercial buildings.
Eligibility:
Commercial buildings include (but are not limited to) offices, retail and service establishments,
institutional buildings (libraries, schools, museums, etc.,) hotels and buildings of four or more
habitable stories.
Basically, this programme is for those buildings where the design and operation is fully in the
scope and control of owner or the developer. (For leased out or rented spaces LEED® India
Core & Shell will be a better option)
If the application of LEED-INDIA for a particular building type is questionable, IGBC encourages
the project team to verify using LEED-INDIA checklists that are provided with each Rating
System.
The project is a viable candidate for LEED-INDIA certification if it can meet all prerequisites and
achieve the minimum number of points to earn the Certified level of LEED-INDIA project
certification.
