The Green Building Congress 2011 being organised by the CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) in New Delhi, Indian Green Building Council, which spearheads the concept of environment friendly built up space, that helps conservation and efficient use of natural resources, is a voluntary effort.
In India, leading developers of office space, particularly large IT companies, have recognised the need for green buildings, and have also benefited from the cost conservation that it provides. But this has to be adopted by a wider segment of the market.
The Green Building Congress, which is in its 10th year, is being organised between October 20 and 22 , 2011. It will include a 2 day Green Building Congress on October 20 and 21, and an exhibition of green building products, training programmes and a national-level school competition to encourage green concepts and ideas.
The Green Building Congress will focus on architectural perspectives, experiences, global patterns, rating systems, materials and public policies.
Last year (2010), the event attracted more than 6,500 visitors, 2,000 participants and showcased more than 200 products.
