Book Review:
‘I am delighted to note that IGBC
has launched the Green Education Programme which would facilitate
Academia-Industry linkage on green concepts. This book on Introduction to Green
Buildings and Built Environment which is released as part of the Green
Education initiative of IGBC, will enable students to be industry-ready. The book
will also equip students to carry forward the National agenda on green and
reach newer heights.’

Education (AICTE)
‘As we march ahead in
facilitating a greener India and Net Zero Mission goals, we need more qualified
professionals who can facilitate green building projects in the country. Launch
of the IGBC Green Education Programme and this book on ‘Introduction to Green
Buildings and Built Environment’ are important steps in sowing the seeds of
green and igniting the minds of the younger generations.’
