Local standards vary in the operational definitions of green buildings, but they still agree upon the conceptual definition of green buildings, as defined by the China GBES Regular assessment indicators for buildings, can vary from 39 to as much as 71
3 STAR GRIHA
COMPARISON BY DEFINITION
TERI-GRIHA
Teri-Griha is a rating system for green buildings which emphasises on passive solar techniques for optimizing indoor visual and thermal comfort rating applies to new building stocks commercial, institutional, and residential of varied functions. Endorsed by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India as of November 1 2007, GRIHA is a five star rating system. Griha is a national rating system that helps to assess the performance of the building against certain nationally acceptable benchmarks and is mainly applied to green buildings which emphasize on passive solar techniques for optimizing indoor visual and thermal comfort.
THREE STAR
Chinas Three-Star certification program is an integral part of the national Green Building Evaluation Standard (GBES), which defines green buildings as the following :
buildings that save a maximum amount of resources (including energy, land, water, and materials), protect the environment, reduce pollution, provide healthy, comfortable and efficient space for people, and exist harmoniously with nature throughout their lifecycle.
Chinese Three-Star Green Building Certification program, started in 2006 by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MOHURD) and as the name states its a three star rating system. The China three-Star program is a national standard but offers provincial flexibility.
THREE STAR
The system provides different guidelines for residential and public buildings. As per Three Star, China A green building shall meet the requirements of all the control items as described in the Standard (GBES) for :

POINT ALLOCATION
TERI-GRIHA
Public
THREE STAR
GRIHA has a 100 point system consisting of some core points, which are Residential mandatory to be met while the rest are optional points, which can be earned by complying with the commitment of the criterion for which the point is allocated. Different levels of certification (one star to five stars) are awarded based on percentage of points earned. The minimum percentage required for certification is 50. Buildings scoring 5060 percentage points, 6170 percentage points, 7180 percentage points, and 8190 percentage points will get one star, two stars, three stars, and four stars, respectively. A building scoring 91100 percentage points will receive the maximum rating, which is five stars.
Control items are prerequisites, general items are the credits and preference are the strategic.
SITE PLANNING
Preservation of existing landscape has been given credit. Soil conservation forms a pre-requisite of rating system. Use of on-site features have been given credit in GRIHA. Enhancing outdoor lighting and illumination have credits
Site selection process is similar in both the cases. Site landscaping measures are similar. Reduction of hard paving on site has been given credit
Health & Well Being is not considered important in case of Three Star, China. GRIHA emphasizes on reducing air pollution, using low-voc paints and providing minimum level of sanitation.
Both the rating systems give credit to optimization of building design to reduce load on energy. Both of them provide special emphasis on the use of renewable energies.
Water-efficient irrigation system is used. Water saving apparatus to be used. Reuse of waste water for other purposes than drinking.
GRIHA - NO CREDITS
No points have been credited for material saving and resource utilization. Though some similar credits have been mentioned under different credits. Use of pre-cast systems to reduce energy consumption on site. Use of fly-ash in building construction(reduction in energy in production of materials)
GRIHA does not emphasize on applying materials. According to 3 star buildings should avoid ornamentation and resources should be limited.
Three Star emphasizes more on Operation management System of Buildings than GRIHA. Waste Management is not considered as a criteria under GRIHA but plays an important role when it comes to Three Star Rating System.
TERI - GRIHA
GRIHA does not give any credit for Indoor Environment Quality.
TERI - GRIHA
Four innovation points are available under the rating system for adopting criteria which enhances the green intent of a project, and one can apply for the innovation points. Some of the probable points are as follows. ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION COMPANY POLICY ON GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS ANY OTHER CRITERIA PROPOSED BY APPLICANT
