IGBC and Airveda: Transforming Indoor Air Quality for India’s Green Buildings
Introduction
India’s urban landscape is evolving fast and with it comes the urgent need to build sustainably. The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has set the benchmark for green buildings nationwide, encouraging eco-conscious design, energy efficiency, and occupant wellness.
At Airveda, we’re proud to power this green revolution with state-of-the-art Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring solutions tailored for Indian buildings. Together, we help you not only meet IGBC standards but elevate your indoor environment to a new level of health and comfort.
Why IGBC Certification is a Game-Changer
IGBC certification is more than a sustainability badge—it is a clear commitment to environmental responsibility and human wellness. IGBC-certified buildings stand apart by delivering:
- Significant improvement in indoor air quality, enhancing occupant health, comfort, and well-being in line with IGBC Health & Comfort criteria
- Reduced carbon footprint through smarter design and responsible material selection
- Healthier indoor air that protects occupants, enhances focus, and improves productivity
- Higher asset value and stronger market appeal as sustainability becomes a key decision factor
From commercial offices and residential developments to hospitals, industrial facilities, and institutions, IGBC’s flexible rating systems guide projects toward measurable, credible, and future-ready green outcomes.
The Critical Role of Indoor Air Quality
in Green Buildings
Clean, breathable air is the foundation of a healthy building. IGBC’s Health & Comfort category places indoor air quality at the forefront because poor IAQ impacts focus, health, and overall occupant satisfaction.
However, ensuring consistent air quality requires reliable, continuous monitoring, a challenge for many Indian buildings facing high pollution and complex environments.
