Foreword from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)

India is experiencing phenomenal growth in urban population in the last few decades. As per 2011 census,

31% of India's total population resides in urban areas. It is estimated that by the year 2030, the urban

population would rise to 42% of the total population of the country. As a result, India is witnessing

tremendous growth in transportation sector and the share of private modes of transport such as

two-wheelers and four-wheelers is increasing exponentially. To increase the share of public transport,

many Indian cities are developing rail-based Mass Rapid Transit Systems (MRTS). Currently metro rail

system (a type of rail-based MRTS) are operational in 8 Indian cities, 7 more cities are developing metros

which are under different stages of construction and 23 more cities are planning to have metro rail system.

Similarly several cities are planning for mono rail and light rail systems which are under various stages of

development.

At present, Metro Rail authorities in India have many internal organisational policies in place to sustainably

manage environmental resources. Few such policies include Energy Management Policy, Environment

Policy, Waste Management Policy and Water Policy. However, there is a need to have a definitive &

voluntary standard for green design, construction and operation of metro rail projects.

Against this background, CII's Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched 'IGBC Green Mass

Rapid Transit System (MRTS) Rating Version 1.0 Abridged Reference Guide. This rating system is a tool

to enable new rail-based MRTS to apply green concepts during design & construction, so as to further

reduce environmental impacts that are measurable. The overarching objective of IGBC Green MRTS

Rating is to ensure environmental sustainability, while enhancing commuter experience.

I. IGBC Green Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) Rating

CII's Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has set up the IGBC Green MRTS Steering Committee

for developing a rating program to address environmental performance of new Rail-based Mass

Rapid Transit Systems. The committee comprises of key stakeholders including Ministry of Urban

Development, Metro Rail Authorities, General Consultants, Contractors, Technology Providers,

Metro Rail Operators and Green Building Consultants. The committee, with a diverse background

and knowledge has enriched the rating system both in its content and process.

The rating has taken a very holistic approach to sustainability. It has addressed site environment

management, integration of MRTS with other modes of transport, indoor environment & comfort and

resource efficiency.

II. Benefits of Green MRTS

By applying the green concepts in the design, construction & operation, the following additional

benefits are envisaged over conventional MRTS for the Environment, Metro Rail Authorities and

Commuters:

v Reduced dependency on private vehicles thereby minimising the environmental impacts

associated with the use of fossil fuels

v Integration with other modes of public transport thereby enhancing connectivity

v Enhanced station accessibility to improve first & last mile connectivity and achieve maximum

ridership

v Maximise resource efficiency

v Increased environmental awareness among commuters

v Enhanced commuting experience

III. Scope of IGBC Green MRTS Rating

All new rail-based MRTS projects can apply for IGBC Green MRTS Rating, if they meet all the

mandatory requirements and achieve the minimum required credit points.

List of rail-based MRTS projects applicable under IGBC Green MRTS Rating are as under:

v Metro Rail Systems

v Mono Rail Systems

The current version of IGBC Green MRTS Rating Version 1.0 Abridged Reference Guide is only

applicable for Metro Rail Systems. IGBC would release applicability guide of IGBC Green MRTS

Rating for Mono Rail systems at a later date.

Scope of IGBC Green MRTS Rating for Metro Rail systems include Elevated stations,

Underground stations, At grade stations and Viaduct / Tunnel.

For the purpose of rating, the project team has to define a clear site boundary which includes but not

limited to:

v Station building, Ancillary facilities, Parking, Hardscape / Softscape areas around station etc.

v Except for Property Development areas within station, other Property Development areas

outside / above stations are excluded from the scope of IGBC Green MRTS Rating.

IV. IGBC Green MRTS Rating – Overview and Process

IGBC Green MRTS Rating addresses green features under the following categories:

v Site Selection and Planning

v Water Efficiency

v Energy Efficiency

v Material Conservation

v Indoor Environment and Comfort

v Innovation in Design & Construction

a. Registration

Rail-based MRTS projects interested in IGBC Green MRTS Certification can register with the

Council. Projects can be registered on IGBC website (www.igbc.in) under 'IGBC Green MRTS

Rating'. The registration is the initial step which will help in establishing contact with IGBC and

provide access to several resources like abridged reference guide and templates.

b. Certification

To achieve the IGBC Green MRTS Rating, the project must satisfy all the mandatory

requirements and the minimum number of credit points.

The project team is expected to provide supporting documents at preliminary and final stage of

submission for all the mandatory requirements and the credits attempted.

The project needs to submit the following:

1. General information of project including

a. Project brief including station type, number of floors, area statement, details of green

features etc.,

b. General drawings (in PDF format only):

i. Metro Network Plan

ii. Station Site Plan

iii. Station Landscape Plan

iv. Floor Plans

v. Elevations

vi. Sections

vii. Parking Plan

viii. Photographs / Rendered views

2. Narratives and supporting documentation such as drawings, calculations (in excel sheets),

declarations / contract documents, purchase invoices, manufacturer cut-sheets / letters /

material test reports, etc., for each mandatory requirement / credit.

The necessary details are mentioned in this guide, under each mandatory requirement and

credit. Documentation is submitted in two phases – preliminary submission and final submission:

v The preliminary submission involves all those possible credits which are aspired by the

project team. After the preliminary submission, review is done by third party assessors and

review comments would be provided by IGBC within 30 working days.

v The next phase involves submission of clarifications to preliminary review queries and final

submission. This review will also be provided by IGBC within 30 working days, after which

the rating is awarded.

It is important to note that the mandatory requirements and credits earned at the preliminary

review are only considered as expected. These mandatory requirements and credits are not

awarded until the final documents are submitted, along with additional documents showing

implementation of design features. If there are changes in any 'expected credits' after

preliminary review, these changes need to be documented and resubmitted during the final

submission.

The threshold criteria for certification levels are as under:

c. Credit Interpretation Request (CIR)

In some instances the design team can face certain challenges in applying or interpreting

a mandatory requirement or a credit. It can also happen in cases where the project can opt

to achieve the same intent through a different compliance route.

To resolve this, the project may use the process of 'Credit Interpretation Request' for which IGBC

releases a 'ruling' to ensure that all rulings are consistent and applicable to other projects as well.

The following are the steps to be followed to raise a CIR:

v Consult the Abridged Reference Guide for description of the Credit Intent and Requirements.

v Review the intent of the Mandatory requirement / Credit and self-evaluate whether the project

satisfies the intent.

v Review the Credit Interpretation web page for any previous CIRs on the relevant mandatory

requirement or Credit. All projects registered under IGBC Green MRTS Rating will have

access to this page.

v If a similar ruling has not been addressed or does not answer the question sufficiently, submit

a CIR. Only registered projects are eligible to post CIRs. Two CIRs are answered without

levying any fee and for any CIR beyond the first two CIRs, a fee is levied.

d. Appeal

Generally mandatory requirements / credits get denied due to misinterpretation of the intent. On

receipt of the final review and if the project team feels that sufficient grounds exist to appeal for

a credit denied in the final review, the project has an option to appeal to IGBC for reassessment of

denied mandatory requirements or credits. The documentation for the mandatory requirements

or credits seeking appeal may be resubmitted to IGBC along with necessary fee. IGBC will take

30 working days to review such documentation. If an appeal is pursued, please note that

a different review team will be assessing the appeal documentation.
