It’s unfortunate that it took a pandemic to make us realise the importance of a healthy lifestyle. But the pandemic has caused a major shift in consumer preferences, since safety and hygiene is given more importance. With the health risk posed by the pandemic, the investment into projects that hold high-level safety and hygiene has been increased by most developers.
In such a situation, the focus on green buildings and construction has only increased. Moreover, what’s important here is using as much green materials as possible so that Mili Majumdar, MD, GBCI India, says, “There are multiple ways to measure whether an installed product is green. Environmental labels and declarations are standard ways of providing information about the overall environmental character and other aspects. The objective is to create and strengthen the market for environment-friendly products and services through verifiable and accurate information. Some labels also focus on the health aspect and the impact of materials, thus helping to distinguish between harmful and healthy materials.”
