Sustainability Services
Sustainability plays an important role in today’s context, considering rapid pace of urbanization taking place in our cities/towns. It describes managing resources without depleting them for future generations. Under the pillar of environmental sustainability, we need to ensure that resources we are consuming at a sustainable rate. Considering material scarcity, circular economy principles, and net zero approach. BEIPL offer sustainability services in various domains of building construction sector.
Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC): This is an Indian government initiative to promote energy efficiency in buildings. The ECBC (as per Indian government initiative to promote energy efficiency in buildings) sets standards for the design and construction of new commercial buildings and major renovations to ensure they are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. It includes; Shadow analysis, Wind analysis, Energy simulation, & Ventilation calculation.
Green Building Certification:Various Green Building Certification i.e. IGBC Green Homes, GRIHA, SVAGRIHA.
- IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) green home is the first rating program developed exclusively for residential properties in India. This rating program is a medium through which designers can apply green concepts and principles to reduce the environmental impact of constructing new buildings. The program strives to strike a balance between established practices and emerging green concepts. IGBC home criteria allow the construction of buildings that are sustainable over their life cycle. The IGBC-certified green home addresses the need for the housing sector to make a judicious move toward sustainable living so as to leave a better earth for future generations.
- GRIHA: GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), the national green building rating system of India, is the product of the collaboration of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Being the country's own green building grading system, GRIHA evaluates the environmental performance of a building based on quantitative and qualitative criteria, thereby providing a definitive standard for green buildings and sustainable habitats. It seeks to minimise resource consumption, waste generation and overall ecological/environmental impact of buildings and habitat.
- SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA) was jointly developed by GRIHA Council & TERI team. SVAGRIHA is a significantly simplified, faster, easier and more affordable rating system and will eventually function as a design-cum-rating tool. It was required that attention be paid to smaller buildings in India which although have small individual environmental footprints but their cumulative effect is far bigger. SVAGRIHA can help in design and evaluation of individual residences, small offices, schools, motels, commercial buildings etc.

Carbon Footprint Assessment: Carbon footprint estimates the total amount of greenhouse gases, emitted during the production, processing and retailing of consumer goods. The aim is to identify major sources of emissions in supply chain to inform relevant stakeholders so that actions can be taken to reduce emissions. It is defined as “The quantity of GHGs expressed in terms of CO2-e, emitted into the atmosphere by an individual, organization, process, product or event from within a specified boundary
Heat Island Effect: Heat islands are urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures than outlying areas. Structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies. Urban areas, where these structures are highly concentrated and greenery is limited, become “islands” of higher temperatures relative to outlying areas. The project building and the buildings surrounding the project site are modelled in the simulation software. The surrounding buildings are modelled to take the effect of shade cast by these buildings on the project site. The building cluster is then simulated to understand the percentage of hours the site is been exposed and the amount of solar radiation falling on the surface for different time of the year. Reducing the direct incident solar radiation will improve the overall heat island effect of the site. This analysis will assist in landscape design, species selection for landscaping, tree location and choose the best suitable spaces for outdoor activity and seating.
Environment, Social & Governance (ESG): Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), also known as environmental, social, governance, is an approach to investing that recommends taking environmental, social and governance issues into account when deciding which companies to invest in. The goal of ESG is to capture all non-financial risks and opportunities inherent to a company’s day to day activities. ESG refers to a set of standards for company’s behaviour used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments. More and more investors are incorporating ESG elements into their investment decision making process, making ESG increasingly important from the perspective of securing capital (both debt and equity). ESG framework used to assess an organization's business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. It also provides a way to measure business risks and opportunities in those areas. In capital markets, some investors use ESG criteria to evaluate companies and help determine their investment plans, a practice known as ESG investing.
Project Management Consultancy: Project Management Consultancy plays a key role in reviewing project processes and controls the weakness of the project recommending better solutions with implementation of new tools, processes, and procedures. In order to achieve a balance with the environment during construction and to provide a better labor practice; the management suggests various measures to be implemented on site. A few measures include air quality monitoring, zero concrete wastage on site, workers safety and facilities, handling of waste on site and preservation of top soil.
