Step 5 Assign criteria
# Green design and rating involves engagement of consultants from multidisciplinary back
ground (landscape architect, energy consultant, mechanical, electrical and plumbing
consultants, contractors and architect). Thus multiple consultants shall be responsible for
fulfi lment of compliance under respective GRIHA criteria, for example, Criteria 13 compliance
is under ambit of the architect and energy consultant whereas compliance under Criteria 2 is
responsibility of landscape architect, architect and the project manager. Hence the compliance
templates subsequently get fi lled in by respective consultants. Thus it is important that while the
coordinator has overall control of the entire documentation process, individual consultants are
able to upload their respective compliance documents for review by the coordinator.
# The coordinator thus assigns respective criteria to various consultants who shall be responsible
for uploading the compliance documents under their respective purview.
# The consultants shall then be required to fi ll up the forms of the criteria assigned to them and on
behalf of the consultants the coordinator can also fi ll the forms.
# Predefi ned templates are another feature of this tool. These are structured formats for providing
certain information for a particular criterion.
# There are online calculators available for a particular criterion, for performing any criteria related
compliance calculation with ease.
