Green Building
The basic concept was developed and brought into construction industry to stress on recycling, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Subsequently TERI along with the ministry of environment developed tropicalized India specific green building norms under the name GRIHA.
Sijcon entered into this field as early as 2006 and had a LEEDs API professional on the payroll and we have carried out numerous green building certifications and have also won prestigious gold awards from GRIHA.
Green Buildings are crucial for reducing environmental impact, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable development. They significantly lower carbon emissions, consume less energy and water, and reduce waste, contributing to a healthier environment and long-term cost savings.
Here’s how Sijcon incorporates sustainable design into their projects:-
Orient the building according to nature
Build with local materials
Select appropriate landscaping
Use material with recycled content
Use water-efficient plumbing fixtures
Reduce indoor air contaminants
Harvest daylight
Provide daylight / views for all occupants
Provide areas for recycling

Solar roof and recycle waste water
Our strategies for Green Design include:
For the site: Drip irrigation and reuse old pavement
Architecture: Formaldehyde free MDF, Low E-windows, low VOC paint, shade wall, vegetated roof and light shelves
