Excerpt

The chapter delves into the critical role of green building rating systems in India's quest to meet its net-zero emissions target by 2070. It highlights the significant contribution of the building sector to India's carbon footprint and the urgent need for effective strategies to reduce embodied carbon. The chapter compares the two major green building rating systems in India, IGBC and GRIHA, with international counterparts, revealing the varying levels of focus on embodied carbon. It also discusses the key criteria and methods for studying embodied carbon in rating systems and provides recommendations for future improvements. The chapter concludes with a comparison of six rating systems in India, evaluating their sensitivity to embodied carbon and the strategies they employ for carbon reduction.
