IGBC vs LEED Certifications<\/span><\/h1>[vc_column_text]In India, the green building rating systems are used as an indicator to qualify & quantify the sustainability in building design and performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As there is an increasing awareness towards sustainability, how do the two most common rating systems IGBC & LEED (USGBC) compare?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a comparative analysis based on the credit points of the two rating systems.<\/span><\/p>\n
