Role of National Building Code in Fostering the Transition to Sustainable Construction
Developing country like India are experiencing fast development in the construction industry. This rapid development in infrastructure consumes a massive amount of natural/non-renewable resources and generates waste, hazardous emissions into the atmosphere affecting the surrounding ecology, community in terms of environmental, social, economical, and technical aspects all through their life span/period. This calls for strong action in bringing awareness, implementing, evaluating, and monitoring the standard of building sustainability for developing countries such as India. The National Building Code (NBC) of India has recommended some guidelines in achieving sustainability in its ‘Approach to Sustainability 2016’. Similarly, the existing IGBC and GRIHA were developed before the revision of NBC 2016. Therefore, the objective of the study is to conduct a comprehensive study on the similarities and dissimilarities and examine whether they are possible to alter as per the prevailing conditions and necessities in India. The findings of the study set a benchmark for sustainable building measurement, which helps to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Further, the present study initiates to develop a new and novel framework that benefits contributors, participants, and organizations in enhancing the building sustainability standards.
