The green building movement, which started off in the year 2001, has advanced rapidly. Green in all aspects of design and construction have been embraced by stakeholders such as architects, developers, MEP / green building consultants, builders, supplier and manufacturers.

There are more than 2000 green building projects in the country which are up & running and today India stands tall amongst countries that have embraced sustainability. While many projects designed as green are in operation, there is now a dire need to sustain the benefits during the life time of the project.

To facilitate fully certified green building projects to continue maintaining the facility as green, IGBC has launched the 'Performance Challenge for Green Built Environment' programme. Outstanding projects that have demonstrated leadership in their own typologies would be recognised and felicitated during IGBC's flagship event Green Building Congress.
