Green Construction — IGBC and GRIHA is a 280-page field-tested engineering handbook from 3D-LABS — covering sustainable construction principles and technical requirements for IGBC and GRIHA ratings in India, addressing energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and site management documentation. Every concept is backed by worked examples, engineering diagrams, and the exact Indian and international standards you’ll be held to.

Why engineers choose this book

It’s written the way real projects work: no filler, just the rating-system criteria, calculations, and decisions an experienced engineer would walk a colleague through — so you can design it, document it, and get it certified with confidence.

Who is this book for?

Practising civil and MEP engineers, sustainability and green-building consultants, contractors, and final-year engineering students and GATE aspirants who want India-relevant, application-first knowledge rather than generic theory.

What standards does this book reference?

IGBC New Buildings Rating System v3, GRIHA v2019, ECBC 2017 (BEE/MoP), IS 3103:1994 indoor ventilation, and NBC 2016 Part 8 building services.

What energy performance calculation is used?

EPI = Annual Energy (kWh/year)/Conditioned Floor Area (m2). ECBC 2017 baselines: offices <= 130 kWh/m2/year, hotels <= 150 kWh/m2/year. Whole-building simulation via EnergyPlus or eQUEST against ASHRAE 90.1-2019 budget building.

What GRIHA water criterion is covered?

Water intensity <= 45 lpcd for offices (NBC 2016 Part 9). Rainwater harvesting: V_tank = A_roof * R_annual * C_runoff / 1000, C_runoff = 0.85 for RCC roofs. Minimum 1% connected load from on-site RE per GRIHA v2019 Criterion 8.
