Do you want your home or workspace to be completely eco-friendly? Enlist the Indian Green Building Council's (IGBC), Green Building Movement, which has allowed the construction industry to implement Green Building principles for improving the economic, health, and environmental efficiency in real estate.

Buildings with Eco-Friendly Features 

It also facilitates in integrating green goods into your home and office from the ground up. From cement and construction blocks to paints, furniture, and tiles, the IGBC has certified over 2,000 products from 135 companies as GreenPro — a Type-1 Ecolabel that enables end-users in the building and manufacturing industries to choose the right products, materials, and technology for reducing environmental impact during construction, service, and maintenance.

GreenPro Ecolabel-certified goods have a lower environmental impact and contribute greatly to the better efficiency of Green Buildings and Green Businesses.

S Karthikeyan, Chief Counselor for the Industry Confederation, declares that the quality of the material used in this building will be environmentally friendly and durable. As a result, it is important to work for the recognition of Green goods. The growth of the green building sector has resulted in an increase in demand for green products and services.He is confident that this demand will rise in the future.

With the support of product committees formed under the aegis of the Green Products and Services Council, Ecolabel standards for different products used for construction are developed. The certification requires product performance demonstration by testing and implementing measures in accordance with specified standards at each stage of the product life cycle which are also a pocket-friendly product.

The reality is that a lot of products are more or less the same prices on the market. But these products also help improve occupants' living quality. It also encourages more and more constructors to start building GreenPro. 

For both occupants and builders it is a win-win situation. While the inhabitants can expect good and healthy living standards, they will be granted recognition and credits for obtaining national and international buildings certification.
