Developing a Sustainable Building Assessment Tool (SBAT) for Developing Countries—Case of India
The rapid building infrastructure development consumes natural/non-renewable resources, generate waste, and releases potentially hazardous emissions into atmosphere affecting the environment, social, economic, and technological aspects (sustainable indicators) throughout their whole life-cycle. This necessitates assessment of the degree of sustainability of the building in developing countries like India considering local context, topography, climatic variations, and regional differences. The comparitive study on most widely used existing assessment tools like LEED, GRIHA, IGBC, and BREEAM reveals that there are some limitations when applied to Indian context. The objective of the study is to quantify and assess the performance of new and existing buildings towards sustainability by interrelating the sustainable indicators and their criteria. This evaluation approach provides a deep insight into developing a sustainable building assessment tool (SBAT), which can be referred and recommended in assessing the sustainable building performance compared to various available tools. The developed holistic framework will facilitate the decision makers/stakeholders to improve the sustainable performance of buildings in developing countries like India.
