Since its inception in 2001, RHIL has looked for innovative
ways to make construction safer with less environmental impact. To date we
follow LEED* norms for constructions and will also apply for
LEED certification of our new buildings.
*LEED is an independent body that lays down a wide range of guidelines
and norms for designing, building and maintaining environment friendly
buildings. It provides builders, contractors, architects and home owners with
practical and viable green building solutions so that buildings and homes can be
environment friendly. LEED Certification is given to those building
projects that stringently follow the guidelines and norms as laid down by
LEED. There are guidelines and parameters with regards to the internal air
circulation in buildings, reduction of carbon emissions, consumption of energy
and water. Based on these and other parameters, LEED rates the overall
efficiency of a building and provides solutions, if required.
By rating building projects, the LEED Certification makes sure that the
builders and contractors are focused on developing energy efficient and
environment friendly buildings that meet all the building norms as laid down by
LEED. Taking environment friendly measures are going to benefit builders
and contractors in many ways. One, builders will get one credit point for every
environment friendly measure they take for their project. Two, the
LEED Certification
offers an assurance to the home owners about the quality as well as the
performance of the building. Three, this certification enables the home owners
to save on maintenance and repair costs. Finally, the
LEED Certification
will enhance the credibility of a builder in the market place.
