Overview
SVAGRIHA Pre-Certification
SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA) was jointly developed by GRIHA Council and TERI. SVAGRIHA is a significantly simplified, faster, easier and more affordable rating system that eventually functions as a design-cum-rating tool. In order to facilitate projects to assess their performance during designing stage, and avail incentives from local authorities, wherever applicable, a precertification rating was introduced. This rating assesses the commitment of project team towards following the SVAGRIHA norms in future, and provides them with a rating between 1 star to 5 star. Eligibility: SVAGRIHA Precertification is applicable only for projects which are less than 2500 sq m built-up area. Any building, except for a factory building, is accepted under the SVAGRIHA Precertification rating system. Rating Process Registration Submission of drawings, declarations and other documents as required (quantity estimates) to GRIHA Council Assessment/review as per SVAGRIHA Feedback to project team In order to get a rating, it is mandatory for each project to achieve a certain number of minimum points in each category as mentioned in the SVAGRIHA manual.
SVAGRIHA
SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA) was jointly developed by GRIHA Council and TERI. SVAGRIHA is a significantly simplified, faster, easier and more affordable rating system and will eventually function as a design-cum-rating tool. It was required that attention be paid to smaller buildings in India which although have small individual environmental footprints but their cumulative effect is far bigger. SVAGRIHA has been designed as an extension of GRIHA and has been specifically developed for projects with built-up area less than 2500 sq. mtr. SVAGRIHA can help in design and evaluation of individual residences, small offices, schools, motels, commercial buildings etc. The rating comprises only 14 criteria and the interface comprises of simplified calculators. These calculators can be filled using information from construction drawings like areas; and quantities and specifications of materials. This can be done easily by the architect of the project. Once completed, the tool will tell the architect the number of points that they are able to achieve in that particular criterion and provide recommendations for any improvements in order to improve the environmental performance of the building. The rating system has 14 criteria. Beyond the pilot-phase, the tool will be converted into a web-tool. The criteria are divided into 5 broad sub-groups-namely: energy, water and waste, materials, landscape and others. It will be mandatory to attempt certain points under each sub-group. This has been detailed in further sections. The total points that a project can achieve are 50 The rating will be done on a 1-5 star scale. Eligibility SVA GRIHA is applicable only for projects which are less than 2500 sq m built-up area. Any building, except for a factory building, are is accepted under the SVAGRIHA rating system.
