4 Introduction The city of Mumbai is India s most populous city and the fourth most populous city in the world. The city serves as an economic hub of the country and is home to many financial and commercial institutions. With the rise of the information technology sector in the mid-1990s, Mumbai continued to grow continue to meet the demands of a changing world. This growth has created new pressure on the environmental sustainability of the existing infrastructure in Mumbai, in large part due to the built environment. The intent Mumbai Existing Building Operation and Maintenance Green Building Rating System () presented in this document is to promote environmentally favorable, sustainable practices within the large existing infrastructure of Mumbai s commercial office buildings. This system outlines possible solutions to help alleviate many of the stresses currently facing the infrastructure of Mumbai, including energy and water demands, waste management, and environmental quality. The is a voluntary program, focused on sustainable building systems. The intent is to work in tandem with existing green building efforts, primarily organized by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). As such, this rating system shall follow certification conventions as established by the IGBC, presented below. Project teams interested in IGBC Green Existing Buildings O&M Certification for their project must first register with IGBC. Projects can be registered on IGBC website ( under IGBC Green Existing Buildings O&M. The website includes information on registration fee for IGBC member companies as well as non-members. Registration is the initial step which helps establish contact with IGBC and provides access to the required documents, templates, important communications and other necessary information. IGBC web site will have all important details on IGBC Green Existing Buildings O&M registration & certification - process, schedule and fee. To achieve the IGBC Green Existing Building O&M certification, the project must satisfy all the mandatory requirements and the minimum number of credit points. The project team is expected to provide supporting documents at preliminary and final stage of submission for all the mandatory requirements and the credits attempted. Projects need to submit the following: a. A brief stating project type, age of building, different type of spaces, number of floors, area statement, occupancy, building photographs etc., b. Narratives and supporting documentation such as calculations (in excel sheets), plans, declarations/ contract documents, utility bills, purchase invoices, manufacturer cutsheets/letters/ material test reports, etc., for each mandatory requirement/ credit 3

5 The necessary details are mentioned in this guide, under each mandatory requirement and credit. Documentation is submitted in two phases preliminary submittal and final submittal: The preliminary submission involves all mandatory requirements and minimum number of credits. After preliminary submission, review is done by third party assessors and review comments would be provided within 30 days. The next phase involves submission of clarifications to preliminary review queries and final submittal. The final review will also be provided within 30 days, indicating the rating achieved. It is important to note that the mandatory requirements/ credits earned during the preliminary review are only considered as anticipated. These mandatory requirements/ credits are not awarded until the final documents are submitted. If there are changes in any credit anticipated after preliminary review, these changes need to be documented and resubmitted during the final review. The threshold criteria for certification levels are as under: Certification Level Certified Silver Gold Platinum Points Recognition Best Practices Outstanding Performance National Excellence Global Leadership IGBC will recognize existing buildings that achieve the rating with a formal letter of certification and a mountable plaque. Validity of IGBC Existing Buildings O&M Certification: IGBC Existing Buildings O&M rating is valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issue of the certification. For recertification, the projects have to show compliance to the latest version of Mumbai Existing Buildings O&M rating prevailing at the time of recertification (Indian Green Building Council, 2013) 4
