Abstract

With the world descending into chaos of 21^st century namely ecological and environmental challenges, there is a need for force to work among us and to lift us, so as to create order out of those above mentioned chaos. Resources are depleting, they need to be saved, the environment needs to be protected. Several countries have started facing earth overshoot day almost every year now. To overcome these issues, different organizations are working on it and one of them in India is GRIHA. Also govt. of India has made it mandatory for some government projects to be GRIHA certified, and they are providing some incentives for that. Some PSU buildings also have made it compulsory to be GRIHA certified. There are different variants of GRIHA and one of them is, “GRIHA for large development”. Whenever large projects are designed, executed etc., they leave great impact on build environment, hence affecting ecology, the environment, so they must be well assessed with regards to building performance, since educational campuses are such large projects. In this paper, a qualitative evaluation research method is used. This paper studies the GRIHA’s variant for large development (mainly university campuses as they are like a small city within a country) and analyses the green features of the university campuses that are GRIHA certified.
