18 questions across the IGBC rating categories (site, water, energy, materials, indoor quality and innovation) to see where your project stands before registering.
Where and how the building sits
The site avoids sensitive land (floodplain, prime agricultural, ecologically valuable) and meets local development norms
Basic amenities and public transit are accessible, reducing travel footprint
Heat-island reduction is designed in: reflective or vegetated roofs, shaded paving
The biggest IGBC differentiator
Rainwater harvesting is designed (collection + recharge or storage)
Low-flow fixtures target a water-use reduction versus baseline (20%+)
Wastewater is treated and reused (landscaping, flushing)
Envelope + systems + renewables
The building envelope is optimised (wall/roof U-values, glazing selection) with ECBC as the floor
An energy simulation or prescriptive compliance path beats the code baseline
Renewable energy (rooftop solar) is provided on site or as an offset
Energy metering separates major loads for monitoring
What goes into the building
Local and regional materials are prioritised (reduced transport footprint)
Recycled-content and industrial-waste materials are used (fly-ash bricks, blended cement)
A construction and demolition waste management plan exists
Health inside the walls
Daylighting and outside views are designed into occupied spaces
Fresh-air ventilation meets or beats ASHRAE 62-class standards
Low-VOC paints, adhesives and sealants are specified
Beyond the credits
Techniques beyond the standard credits are proposed (innovation points)

Getting started
Start with rainwater harvesting, the envelope and low-flow fixtures, the highest-value IGBC credits in Indian projects.
