摘要

Bharat (India), as a country, is witnessing a construction boom. The real estate sector is a major contributor to the upscale, ranked third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and induced effects in all sectors of the economy (IBEF, in Sustainable Circular Economy in India|IBEF, 2023, [8]). The trend will continue unabated due to 1.3 Billion population (IBEF, in Indian Real Estate Industry: Overview, Market Size, Growth, Investments...IBEF, 2023, [9]) and still increasing. While the prosperity manifests itself, so is the contributor to GHGs, and construction industry is 19% responsible for the same (Outlook, in Outlook 2022, [16]). Green Building (GB) programmes were introduced in India in the year 2001, (WGBC, World green building council, 2024, [22]) and the first GB was introduced in 2003 (Khare, in Commercial design, 2021, [11]). The GB compliances have witnessed support from developers in residential and commercial spaces, yet adoption by Individual Home Owners and Contractors (IHO&C) remains near NIL. For the developers, it may be to take a lead to deliver the niche product, but for IHO&C, the concept does not seem to have been comprehended due to reasons unknown. Not enough has been written or researched by the academicians on this subject too. This paper looks into the barriers which have prevented adoption of GB norms. Also, drivers have been identified, to facilitate this segment for adoption of GB norms. The requirement is to mobilise this numerical strength. It is imperative that we dwell upon the barriers and drivers further, as this segment will be a source for further concept propagation of norms and penetration of idea, so as to jointly contribute towards the achievement of milestones set for the country for 2030 and 2070 during COP 26 summit. Ranking of identified barriers and drivers is intended to be achieved through survey process amongst affected persons. Expert opinion has been resorted to for greater clarity. This will help identify the order of precedence for barriers and drivers for speedy adoption of GB norms amongst IHO&C, and act as a ready reckoner for policy formulation amongst responsible stakeholders.
