## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND POWER (I/C) (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

- (a) Ministry have sanctioned two studies on Green Buildings so far, but the final reports on the same have not been received. The two studies and the status are as follows:
1. Concept note of 'Integrated Renewable Energy Buildings' to Confederation of India Industries (CII), Hyderabad (Draft report has been prepared).
2. Development  and  publication  of  a  book  on  Green  Building  Case  Studies  to  The Energy Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi (Study is in process).

(b) As reported in SPIN portal of MNRE, the Statewise details of the number of publically owned  buildings  that  utilize  renewable  energy  through  solar  photovoltaic  installations  is given at Annexure-I. However, there may be other publically owned buildings in states which are utilizing renewable energy and whose details have not been captured since they may have been installed independent of ministry or state renewable energy nodal agencies.

(c)  &  (d)  A  'Green  Rating  for  Integrated  Habitat  Assessment'  (GRIHA)  rating  system  has been developed to measure environmental performance of a building through its life cycle. The  'GRIHA  Council',  an  independent  society,  provides  GRIHA  Ratings  to  buildings constructed in India.

Under scheme of 'Energy Efficient/Green Building', which got over in March, 2017, about 225 capacity building programmes including trainings, seminar, conferences, workshops for Evaluators and Trainers on GRIHA  Ratings  and awareness programmes on Green Buildings/GRIHA Ratings/Green Architecture were organized across the country by various technical institutes for creating awareness of the positive effects of energy efficient buildings. Over 1000 GRIHA evaluators and trainers were also developed. Also, 97 building projects of Govt. with 3.05 million square meters built-up area had been sanctioned for the exemption from the  registration  cum  rating  fees  for  acquiring  GRIHA  rating.  So  far,  11  Government buildings have been awarded GRIHA Ratings.

Details  of  the  regulation/policy  documents  created  to  incentivize  greener  buildings  are  at Annexure-II.
