Although the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard comes from the US Green Building Council, it has become widely adopted outside the US borders. However in India, we cannot use the US standards for sustainable buildings.

I would like to know from the elite members of this community on what changes we need in LEED in Indian Context? Let's have an interesting discuss around this...

Thanks & Regards

Venkatesh

Regional materials and historical learnings need to be incorporated

idea posted by Inder Monga Chief Technologist, Energy Sciences Network

A lot of research has been done on buildings in US and correspondingly, LEED standards developed. Research of indian buildings, behavior, people productivity etc has not been undertaken in India in a holistic manner. Also, regional and historical practices of building in India offer great advantages of harnessing the existing climate like verandah's - we need to learn these from our history and incorporate them into the Indian LEED standrds. Copying the western LEED may not be always the right approach as it is built for a different context. USGBC is working towards a global standard though, USGBC LEED 2009 standard now allows for regional credits as well as innovation credits to help accomplish the LEED rating for the building.

You are right, when and where we follows the concepts from outside without thinking, we suffer lots.  First of all we are not getting the fruits as image in concepts secondly we get new problems and our most of energy we used to solve it.  Before adopting it, intelect and common people of our counry mould the concept in Indian style.  In my view generally we are following LEED concept, Because we most of all are religious, and all religion pray nature.

Add your argument:

The building material must be available in India

idea posted by Pragya Kothari Construction-Heavy, DLF

One of the foremost things I believe we would see different in India as compared to the US model would be that the construction material available would be different. So to construct according to LEED in the Indian context we must first base it on the resources available in India for the construction purposes.

If resources are available in India, then it will be better for us from cost side, trortation side and also it will be fit to Indian climate...

Add your argument:

Concentrate on Developing suburbs

idea posted by Pragya Kothari Construction-Heavy, DLF

hi all, just to add on to the last idea, I believe suburban areas must be given a greater importance when adapting LEED to the Indian context as this is where most of our population lives and this is the area that we must concentrate on first

Yes, indeed, 

The suburbs are growing rather uncontrollaly, lately.

Green Building Systems as published should be used for Urban & Sub-Urbun Dvelopment, while NIRD Technolgies & Technics along with the ancient building practices to be continued to be adapted for Rural Development.

Add your argument:

LEED should be evolved in Indian Context !!!

idea posted by Venkatesh M Warehouse Manager, Larsen and Toubro

LEED India should be evolved based on the market feedback and experiences. Please give your insights on the same....

LEED India has been suitably adapted to the Indian Conditions and Laws, except we still depend on ASHARE standards for Energy Analysis, as ISHRAE is yet to come out with our own version of the protocol.

Similarly IGBC Green Homes & Green Factory Building Rating Systems have been developed specifically for the Indian markets.
