India experiences the fastest relative growth in per person residential energy use because of increased access to energy sources and increased use of appliances and other energy-using equipment. National codes, policies, and other reforms have emphasized building sustainability by integrating climate-responsive design elements that are low-cost and energy-efficient. This paper showcases processes that each segment has adopted and implemented in the development of high-performance construction and to reduce energy consumption. The study reviews all critical aspects of these guidelines and voluntary reforms and recognizes the collaboration among stakeholders to deliver the essentials in green buildings. This research suggests a few practical steps and recommendations to increase awareness and participation in green building projects.
