Introduction

Project GreenTrack aims to create a stack of AI-powered solutions to automate and streamline the process of green building certification. This tool leverages LLMs to validate and verify key parameters outlined under green building rating standards, beginning with Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA Standards). The aim is to make the process more faster, efficient, and affordable.

The Problem

The current green building certification process is:

• Effort-Intensive: Requires significant human involvement to track compliance, complete and verify paperwork.
• Lengthy: Involves multiple stakeholders, extensive documentation, and manual assessments.
• Expensive: High costs associated with consulting, auditing, and approvals.

These challenges act as barriers to adoption, making it difficult for builders, developers, and organizations to commit to sustainable construction practices. As a result, the widespread implementation of green buildings has been limited.

The Solution: AI-Powered Certification

GreenTrack envisions a future where AI transforms the green certification process into a fast, efficent and cost-effective experience. Our tool aims to:

1. Automate Compliance Checks: AI-driven tools to verify compliance with minimal manual effort.
2. Assist Stakeholders Seamlessly: Support for builders, consultants, auditors, ULBs, and certification bodies to quickly verify and demonstrate compliance with GRIHA standards.
3. Promote Green Building Adoption: By reducing certification costs and time, we encourage more developers to pursue sustainable construction.
