IGBC/Green Building For Labs How Are They Classified
Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Green Factory Buildings is a rating program instituted for industries within India. It’s a voluntary program and is rated based on certain categories that contribute to the overall savings in terms of energy and conservation.
The expected energy savings is between 30-40% and the expected water savings is between 20-30%. In this infographic, we’ll look at the different categories under which the IGBC rating system is based on and how each of them is warranted towards a specific purpose.
| Categories | Purpose | Characterisation |
| Site Selection & Panning | To ensure that the building is in line with regulatory standards |
