Identification of Green Rating Attributes for Metro Station: An Indian Case Study

Construction is the second-largest industry in the world. Due to social and economic evolution, Indian city populations are growing these days. The metro has been promoted in an increasing number of large cities around the world as an important mode of public transportation and urban utilization. Metro systems have a variety of effects on urban development, including stimulating the use of urban services. Green metro has long been considered a crucial step towards an economic, flexible, and environmentally friendly concept. This study examines the most popular environmental assessment techniques, including Indian green building council (IGBC), Leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), and Green rating for integrated habitat assessment (GRIHA). Comparative research revealed that existing assessment techniques had several constraints when employed in an Indian-built context. By addressing additional factors like varying climatic conditions and regional variations, existing methods can be applied to various regions. An attempt is made to develop a framework by using principal component analysis (PCA). The aim of these studies is to create criteria for a rating system on metro stations that takes weather conditions into account. The limitation of the developed system should suit the local context. The conclusions of this paper can help developers and designers create a rating system. It will have of significant impact on the research technique that can be effectively applied to developing a rating system.
