Each rating system has its own method of calculating weightages. For evaluation of buildings in India the various rating systems can be used, but it may not give assessments, since the regional resources may be different. This Project aims to focus on the study of LEED, IGBC and GRIHA rating system, compare these three with regards to their assessment methods; scopes, performance criteria and energy rating scales are presented. Through this study, an attempt is made to make clear understanding of LEED, IGBC and GRIHA rating system assessment criteria that need to be considered during comparison.
