Owners planning a new commercial, residential, or industrial project
Translate project sustainability goals into decisions, responsibilities, evidence, and measurable performance requirements.
GREEN BUILDING
Make building performance visible before certification review.
Green-building outcomes are shaped early by design decisions and later by procurement, commissioning, documentation, and operation. A rating submission is strongest when those workstreams are managed together.
Who this service is for
Architects and consultants coordinating green-building credits
Coordinate credit dependencies across architecture, MEP, landscape, procurement, commissioning, and documentation.
Facility teams improving existing-building performance
Establish baselines and improvement plans for energy, water, waste, indoor environment, and operations.
Developers preparing an IGBC or GRIHA submission
Select the appropriate rating tool and maintain a review-ready credit and evidence register.
01
Choose the framework that fits the project
Green-building rating systems provide different tools for new construction, existing buildings, homes, factories, campuses, interiors, and other project types. The appropriate framework depends on the building use, project stage, size, location, and owner objective.
Prakrti begins with an applicability and feasibility review rather than promising a rating before the project evidence and credit pathway have been assessed.
02
Credits depend on coordinated decisions
Energy models depend on envelope, lighting, HVAC, controls, occupancy, and schedules. Water targets depend on fixtures, landscaping, reuse, metering, and source assumptions. Materials, waste, transport, indoor environment, commissioning, and operations bring their own cross-disciplinary dependencies.
A responsibility matrix makes these links visible early, so the architect, MEP team, landscape consultant, contractor, procurement team, and facility manager know which decisions and records they own.
03
Prakrti prepares; the rating body certifies
We support strategy, analysis coordination, documentation, evidence review, and submission readiness. IGBC, GRIHA Council, or another relevant rating authority reviews the project and determines certification under its programme.
What you receive
Clear outputs your team can use
- 01Project and rating-system applicability review
- 02Credit feasibility and responsibility matrix
- 03Energy, water, materials, and waste action plan
- 04Design and specification review comments
- 05Evidence and submission tracker
- 06Pre-assessment gap review and close-out plan
How the engagement works
A practical, evidence-led process
- 01
Set the performance brief
Confirm project type, stage, operational goals, applicable code requirements, rating ambition, budget, and programme.
- 02
Plan credits and evidence
Screen credits, dependencies, documentation, modelling needs, responsible parties, and decisions that must be made early.
- 03
Coordinate implementation
Review design and procurement evidence, track performance inputs, resolve gaps, and keep submissions aligned with site reality.
- 04
Prepare for review
Complete an internal pre-assessment, organise calculations and evidence, and support responses through the rating-body review process.
Prepare for what is next
A rating is useful when it reflects operating performance
Project teams get more value when certification work shapes design, procurement, commissioning, and facility controls rather than becoming a documentation exercise near handover.
Standards and frameworks
Work grounded in recognised guidance
- Applicable IGBC rating system
- Applicable GRIHA rating variant
- Energy Conservation Building Code and Eco Niwas Samhita where applicable
- Relevant National Building Code and local requirements
Questions businesses ask
Frequently asked questions
What is green building consultancy?
It is technical and documentation support that helps a project set performance goals, select an appropriate framework, coordinate design and operational measures, track evidence, and prepare for review under a green-building rating system.
Can Prakrti guarantee an IGBC or GRIHA rating?
No. Prakrti can assess feasibility, plan credits, coordinate evidence, and support the submission, but the independent rating body reviews the project and awards any certification.
When should a green building consultant join the project?
Ideally during concept or early design, when orientation, envelope, systems, space planning, landscape, and specification decisions can still change efficiently. Existing buildings can begin with a performance and documentation baseline.
Does green building apply to factories and existing buildings?
Yes. Indian rating organisations offer tools for several project types, including industrial and existing-building contexts. The appropriate variant and scope should be confirmed against the current programme requirements.
What information is needed to start?
Project type and location, design stage, area, drawings, owner goals, energy and water concepts, planned systems, project schedule, and any rating already selected. Existing buildings should also provide available utility and operating data.
