ADaRSH (Association for Development and Research on Sustainable Habitat): GRIHA Secretariat
ADaRSH has been jointly formed by the MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy) and TERI (The Energy and Resource Institute) to help promote GRIHA.
It is a platform to facilitate a pan-India, ongoing interaction and networking
between building professionals, developers and government officials. It
was formally launched on 4 January 2010 at the India Habitat Centre, New
Delhi, on the occasion of the first GRIHA National Conference.
GRIHA is a 'green building; design and performance evaluation system' and
is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of India.
All Central Public Works Department (CPWD) constructions have to undergo
internal certification by its own officers and follow the GRIHA rating system.
GRIHA is being promoted by the MNRE under its scheme 'Energy Efficient Solar/Green
Buildings'. The MNRE has also declared that the first 100 government/public
sector buildings shall be exempted from paying registration-cum-rating fee
if they go for the GRIHA certification.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
The MNRE is the nodal
Ministry of the Government of India for all matters relating to new and
renewable energy. The broad aim of the Ministry is to develop and deploy
new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy requirements of the
country.
The mission of the Ministry is to ensure energy security by deploying alternate fuels (hydrogen, biofuels and synthetic fuels) and their applications to contribute towards bridging the gap between domestic oil supply and demand. This would lead to lesser dependence on oil imports through development. It also looks into increase in the share of clean power, renewable (bio, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal and tidal) electricity to supplement fossil fuel based electricity generation. The MNRE works towards:
- Energy availability and access: it works towards supplementing energy needs of cooking, heating, etc., motive power and captive generation in rural, urban, industrial and commercial sectors;
- Energy affordability: cost-competitive, convenient, safe and reliable new and renewable energy supply options;
- Energy equity: per-capita energy consumption at par with the global average level by 2050, through a sustainable and diverse fuel mix.

The Energy and Resource Institute
TERI was formally established
in 1974. TERI has been working towards providing innovative cost-effective
solutions in the fields of energy and environment for the global sustainable
development The Institute under its sustainable habitat division has been
working on issues related to sustainable urban development and has been
consistently delivering solutions to enable design and development of sustainable
habitats at both macro and micro levels.
TERI has been actively working in states and cities to mainstream sustainable
habitat/building design guidelines and regulations at the building level
to help design greener buildings through integrated design approach, adoption
of innovative technological solutions and passive principles, and retrofit
of existing buildings for them to be converted into green buildings.
TERI was a member of the expert committee constituted to develop the Energy
Conservation Building Code of India and was also represented in the expert
committee for the formulation of the National Building Code of India 2005.
