International journal of sustainable building technology (IJSBT)Summary: When we talk about green building, we talk about how much a building is sustainable or green or what is the impact of the structure to the environment. So to know and evaluate a building to be green we need the green building rating systems “A 'green' building is a facility that, in its
design, construction, or administration, minimizes or eliminates negative effects, and can produce positive ones, on our environment and natural environment,” according to the World Green Building Council.” And for Building to be rated Green there are different Green Building Rating Systems which are used nationally and internationally. The Rating systems mostly looks
upon how the structure is constructed or operated, if there are materials which are reused or recycled and how much is the resource efficiency and if there is any amount of ecological impact because of the construction. This article will discuss about what is Green Building and the history behind it. Also, what are the major Green Building Rating systems that are used in India
and the rating systems that are used globally. In addition, the article talks about the specific parameters that are taken into consideration by some of the majorly used rating systems like LEED, GHRIHA and IGBC to rate the buildings. The Article also speaks about the Future Scope the Rating Systems. Finally, the article will try to conclude why the rating systems are still not mandatorily used in India like in other developed countries where the green building rating
systems are used in a much more productive way.
