Methodology

Step 1
Once the building is operational and fully occupied, ensure that energy, water, and waste audits
are conducted to evaluate the energy consumption, thermal comfort conditions, visual comfort,
water quality and consumption; and solid waste management process of the building. These audits
should be conducted within two years of full occupancy. The primary purpose of these audits is to
verify the data provided in various documents submitted for award of provisional rating. The audit
data should be submitted to ADaRSH as per the format specified by GRIHA.
The data collected from the energy audit will be used to calculate the actual energy performance
index of the building and will be compared with the energy performance index value calculated
