Abstract

Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in “green building” in some key developing countries that are growing at an almost alarming pace. India, in particular, has recently had the distinction of having the very first “greenest of green buildings” – the first LEED™ (Version 2.0) Platinum rated building was built in India. There has also been a growing interest in developing Building Energy Codes and Building Environmental Rating Systems – much on the lines of models in developed countries. To make only one simple point - there is a good level of awareness of the vast disparities in per-capita and perhousehold energy consumption across countries. To illustrate this point, in the context of the recent Indian “accomplishment” – India’s per capita energy consumption is about 3-6% of the per-capita energy consumption of the US. Given this great disparity, one must ponder the true “sustainability” of facilities and measures that are rated according to imported standards. What does it mean to have a LEED™ Platinum rated building in India? Just how sustainable is it – in its own context? Or – if a building is performing even 60% better than the ASHRAE 90.1 Standard for minimum energy performance – what does it mean, if it is located in Mumbai or Delhi? Or does it mean anything at all? This paper presents comparisons and contrasts and seeks to highlight the fact that the very context and nature of the playing fields are not comparable – and makes the case for a more place-sensitive, context-driven approach to sustainability in developing countries that could lead to truly path-breaking shifts in the sustainability paradigms as we know them.
