Key Responsibilities
1. GRIHA Project Management & Documentation
● Lead the GRIHA documentation process from pre-design through final certification submission.
● Prepare, review, and manage all mandatory and desirable criterion documents, drawings, and compliance proofs.
● Coordinate with architects, MEP consultants, and contractors to gather required inputs for each GRIHA criterion.
● Manage submission portals, respond to evaluator queries, and track criterion-wise scoring progress.
● Maintain audit-ready records; ensure compliance with GRIHA V 2019 / SVAGRIHA / GRIHA for Existing Buildings norms.
● Schedule and attend site audits, facilitate third-party evaluations, and support evaluator visits.
2. Site Visits & Field Coordination
● Travel across India to project sites for site assessment, data collection, and construction-stage compliance verification.
● Conduct walkthroughs to assess green measures: passive design features, material usage, construction waste practices, and water management systems.
● Coordinate with site engineers and project managers to ensure on-site implementation aligns with GRIHA-committed designs.
● Capture and document photographic evidence, site measurements, and commissioning reports.
3. Sun Path & Daylight Analysis
● Perform sun path analysis using tools such as Autodesk Revit, SketchUp + Shading Analysis, Rhino/Grasshopper, or Ecotect to evaluate solar exposure and shading strategies.
● Assess building orientation, overhang sizing, and fenestration design for optimal daylight and solar heat gain control.
● Prepare daylight factor simulations (using DIALux, VELUX Daylight Visualizer, or equivalent) for GRIHA daylighting criteria.
● Provide design recommendations to achieve GRIHA criterion compliance for visual comfort and passive solar design.
4. Energy Simulation & Performance Analysis
● Conduct building energy simulations using EnergyPlus, eQUEST, DesignBuilder, or IDA ICE to model baseline and proposed energy performance.
● Perform Energy Performance Index (EPI) calculations and demonstrate compliance with ECBC 2017 / National Building Code energy norms.
● Evaluate HVAC, lighting, and envelope performance; recommend energy conservation measures (ECMs).
● Prepare energy simulation reports for GRIHA criterion documentation and submission.
● Benchmark energy performance against ASHRAE 90.1 or BEE Star Rating baselines as required.
5. Water Consumption Analysis & Management
● Calculate water demand (indoor + outdoor + process) using occupancy-based and fixture-efficiency methodologies.
● Model water balance including rainwater harvesting potential, greywater recycling, and sewage treatment plant (STP) outputs.
● Prepare water efficiency compliance reports for GRIHA water criteria, including fixture specifications and flow-rate documentation.
● Coordinate with MEP consultants on plumbing layouts, rainwater harvesting tank sizing, and water metering strategies.
6. Solid Waste Management Planning
● Develop and document Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP) for construction and operational phases aligned with GRIHA norms.
● Estimate construction waste generation and define diversion targets (recycling, reuse, responsible disposal).
● Plan for operational waste streams: dry waste, wet/organic waste, e-waste, and hazardous waste, ensuring compliance with Solid Waste Management Rules 2016.
● Coordinate with contractors for waste tracking, weighment records, and disposal vendor tie-ups.
● Support composting facility design or OWC (Organic Waste Converter) integration for food/green waste.
7. Reporting & Stakeholder Communication
● Prepare monthly GRIHA progress reports for internal management and client updates.
● Conduct workshops and training sessions for project teams on GRIHA criteria, green building practices, and simulation tools.
● Liaise with GRIHA Council, evaluators, and certification bodies for technical clarifications.
● Support business development by contributing technical inputs to project proposals and presentations.
Required Skills & Competencies
Technical Skills
● Proficiency in GRIHA rating system (V 2019 preferred); familiarity with LEED or IGBC a plus.
● Energy simulation tools: DesignBuilder / EnergyPlus / eQUEST / IDA ICE.
● Sun path & daylight tools: Ecotect / DIALux / Rhino+Grasshopper / Revit Solar Analysis.
● Building information modelling: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp.
● MS Excel (advanced) for water balance calculations, waste quantification, and data analysis.
● Knowledge of NBC 2016, ECBC 2017, MoEFCC norms, and municipal solid waste regulations.
Soft Skills
● Strong documentation and technical writing skills (English & Hindi preferred).
● Highly organised; ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
● Willingness and ability to travel extensively across India with minimal notice.
● Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across architects, engineers, and contractors.
● Problem-solving orientation with attention to detail in compliance and reporting.
Qualifications & Experience
● Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, or Environmental Engineering (Master's preferred in Sustainable Design / Energy / Environmental Management).
● 4–8 years of relevant experience in green building certifications, building performance consulting, or sustainability advisory.
● Demonstrated experience managing at least 3–5 GRIHA-rated projects from submission to certification.
● Prior experience in conducting or reviewing energy simulations for ECBC/GRIHA compliance is mandatory.
● GRIHA Evaluator or Trainer accreditation is highly desirable.
What We Offer
● Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
● Opportunity to lead high-impact sustainable buildings across India.
