GRIHA Council is organizing a one-day online training Programme designed to equip stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and skills for successful implementation of GRIHA for Affordable Housing (GRIHA AH).

About GRIHA AH:

GRIHA AH is a green building rating system specifically tailored to the affordable housing sector. In line with its philosophy and with the purpose of taking sustainability to the masses, GRIHA has developed this rating variant called as "GRIHA for Affordable Housing" which is aligned to the PMAY. With the help of GRIHA AH rating, many low-income households shall be able to reduce the operational costs and GHG emissions by improving their resource efficiency. The rating would evaluate the environmental performance of residences holistically over its entire life cycle. The rating thus provides a definitive standard for what constitutes a 'green building' as it is a dedicated assessment cum rating tool, and a pre-fed calculator-based system. This Programme acknowledges the critical role of sustainable practices in cost-effective housing projects, fostering environmental responsibility and occupant well-being while maintaining affordability.
