The minimum is 50. Buildings scoring 50 to 60 points, 61 to 70 points, 71 to 80 points,and 81 to 90 points will get one star, ‘two stars’, ‘three stars’ and ‘four stars’ respectively. Abuilding scoring 91 to 100 points will get the maximum rating five stars. The minimum pointsto qualify for GRIHA certification is 50 points.BENEFITSGreen Buildings are beneficial to the building owners, users and the community as a whole.The operational cost is reduced because renewable energy is used without compromising thehousehold’s level of comfort. Water demands are met through rain water harvesting process.Heating, Ventilation and Air condition systems are reduced in size to provide optimalperformance at local conditions. As a result, the capital cost also is reduced. ed. Keeping in mind ofbiodiversity and ecological balance, GRIHA supports minimization of deforestation and landerosion on site. Pollution and waste are controlled through recycling and reuse of energymechanisms. The above mentioned processes ensure health benefits with reduced water and airpollution. Moreover, green building owners get the image of being conscious and sensitive toenvironmental degradation. By getting their buildings rated under GRIHA, they arecontributing in maintaining biodiversity and protecting the earth from further damage.In effort to promote green designs, MNRE provides incentives to developers and users with aminimum project size of 2500 square metres. It reimburses of up to 90% of the registration feefor buildings under 5000 0 square metres area with minimum three star rating and for thosegetting four star rating over 5000 square metres area. For architects and design team complyingwith GRIHA benchmarks, they receive Rs 2, 50,000 for projects between 2500 to 5000 squaremetres es area; and Rs 5 lakhs for projects over 5000 square metres area.
