1.7 GRIHA evaluation process
The buildings shall be evaluated and rated in a three-tier process. The process that would be followed
has been explained previously.
The GRIHA team shall fi rst review the mandatory criteria and reject a project in the event of
non-compliance with such criteria. The team shall then check the documentation submitted for the
optional criteria. The checking is done by the GRIHA team to ensure that all templates and drawings
are fi lled-in and to ensure that the documentation is complete in all respects (for the attempted
criteria). All documents shall be checked and vetted through the appraisal process as outlined by
GRIHA. The GRIHA team compiles the fi rst evaluation report and sends to the client. The client is
then required to resubmit details as requested for by the Secretariat in the fi rst evaluation report.
The documentation shall now be sent to the GRIHA evaluators comprising of renowned sector
experts from landscape architecture, lighting and HVAC design, renewable energy, water and
waste management, and building materials. The evaluators shall vet the documentation and
independently review the documents for the award of points. The evaluator shall award provisional
points (if documentation is in order as per his/her evaluation) and also comment on specifi c criteria,
if need be. The evaluation report shall be sent to the project proponent to review the same and, if
desired, take steps to increase the score. The report shall elaborate on the results of the evaluation
committee along with its comments. The report shall also list the criteria for which the documentation
is incomplete/inadequate/inconsistent, detailing all the required information. The client shall then
be given one month to resubmit the document with necessary modifi cations. The resubmitted
report should comprise only of additional documents/information desired in the evaluation report,
which shall again be put through the vetting process as described above. The evaluation committee
shall then award the fi nal score, which shall be presented to an advisory committee comprising of
eminent personalities and renowned professionals in the fi eld for approval and award of rating.
Provisional rating is awarded that is converted to fi nal confi rmed rated on meeting compliance as
per Criterion 32. The rating shall be valid for a period of fi ve years from the date of commissioning of
the building. GRIHA reserves the right to undertake a random audit of any criteria for which points
have been awarded.
