Training programme on SVA GRIHA
GRIHA Council organized an online training programme on the latest variant of SVA GRIHA rating system - SVA GRIHA V.3. The intent of the training programme was to apprise the stakeholders, new architects, and students, with the concepts of this rating system. The criteria and appraisals of this rating variant are very straightforward in comparison with other variants. Thus, new architects and students also benefited from this programme. It will help them to perform qualitative and/or quantitative impact assessment of their projects. Informed decisions during the initial stage of construction can help in minimizing the deleterious effects of the development on the environment.
The first half of the programme comprised a detailed and interactive presentation on the rating requirements. The second half was a demonstration of the online SVAGRIHA panel. Participants were given an elaborate walkthrough of the entire panel from registration to submission of the project for evaluation.
SVA GRIHA, an abbreviation for Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA, was conceived to spread the concept of green buildings and sustainability to small-scale stakeholders, that is, owners of projects such as bungalows and small offices. All new construction projects with built up area 100 sqm ≤ x ≤ 2500 sqm are eligible for certification under SVAGRIHA V. 3.
More such webinars will be scheduled for the year 2024-25. Keep a check on our annual calendar (https://www.grihaindia.org/training-calendar-2024) and social media handles.
