SITE PLANNING- Resource conservation and enhanced efficiency.
Preserve ,protect landscape during construction:
Proper timing of construction to minimise erosion.
Preserve existing trees/vegetation.
Preserve top soil.
Measures to collect/divert runoff from polluted areas so that it does not mix with storm water run off
from undisturbed areas.
Run off control measures like contour trenching, mulching.
Spill prevention and control plans to stop source of spill, to dispose contaminated and hazardous
wastes.
Soil and water conservation (post construction)
Proper soil erosion and sedimentation control plan.
Proper laying back of top soil for vegetative growth.
Soil stabilization.
Storm water management and filtration.
Compensatory depository forestation for removed mature trees
Replant the number of mature trees removed in higher ratio (1:3).
Minimize site circulation and provide aggregate utility corridor.
Minimize road and pedestrian walkway length.
Provide single utility corridor.
Design in sync with site features.
Harness onsite natural resources-solar, wind, water etc.
Appropriate zoning to take benefit of natural site conditions.
Measures to ensure that other buildings’ solar, wind access is not hampered.
Energy efficient site lighting and lighting though renewable energy sources.
Meet minimum luminous efficacy.
Usage of solar lighting system.
Reduce hard paving on site.
Restricted paved area.
Net imperviousness not to exceed NBC limits.
Surface parking not to exceed local bye law limits.
WATER
Reduce water consumption in landscaping by 30-50%.
Adopt measures to reduce water consumption in landscaping.
Progressive reduction in water consumption to fetch more points.
Reduce water use in buildings.
Reduce water use over the baseline consumption with conventional fixtures by 25-50%.
Progressive reduction in water consumption to fetch more points.
Efficient water use during construction.
Adopt measures to minimise potable water use during construction.
Water saving reduction by 50%
CESE building, IIT, Kanpur achieves 60%.
GRIHA is unique in comparison to international rating systems because it stresses on the use of passive
architectural practices rather than relying on energy intensive air-conditioning systems and practices.
The maximum points are reserved for the two criteria dealing with passive design practices and energy
efficiency.
Objective of Criteria 12
“To apply solar passive measures including day lighting to reduce the demand on conventional energy
for space conditioning and lighting systems in buildings.”
Optimise Energy Performance Of Building Within Specified Comfort
Follow mandatory compliance measures (for all applicable buildings) as recommended in the Energy
conservation building code
Non-air conditioned areas should satisfy thermal comfort conditions as specified in the National Building
Code, Bureau of Indian Standards, Part–8 Building services; Section 1 -Lighting and ventilation; Desirable
wind speeds m/s for thermal comfort conditions, Table 9 and 10
Air conditioned areas’ thermal comfort conditions as specified in the National Building Code, 2005 ,Bureau of
Indian Standards Part-8 Building Services; Section 3- Air conditioning, heating and mechanical ventilation,
Section 4.4.3 inside design conditions are met for 100% of all occupied hours
Water body to cool the micro

climate.
Orientation of building :
North – South.
External shading devices :
Shaded roof and windows.
Optimized window design by
selection of Low E glass and
external shading.
Daylight integration in all
living spaces.
