Abstract
More than half of the three fourth of worlds energy is consumed by buildings. Construction sector now a day is considered one of the most cost oriented industries and we should try to make innovations that are environmentally and economically sustainable. Sustainability or green buildings in the construction sectors mainly focus on constructing energy efficient buildings, reducing emissions and maintaining thermal comfort. A National rating system- GRIHA has been developed that is appropriate for all types of building in completely different environmental condition zones of the country. The system was at first planned and developed by TERI (The Energy & Resource Institute). As TERI GRIHA that has been changed to GRIHA as National scoring system when incorporating various modifications urged by a bunch of architects and specialists. It takes into consideration the provisions of the National code 2005, the Energy Conservation code laws. The system, by its quantitative and qualitative assessment criteria, would be ready to buildings of various functions- industrial, institutional and residential. As maximum cost of the building is due to electricity consumption so in this research paper I have designed the institutional building NIFT (Fashion institute proposed in Panchkula)in such a way that it achieves the GRIHA five star rating system by fulfilling its 100% energy demand through renewable source of energy.
