Environment States - Kerala Green rating for factories Our Bureau Kochi, July 29 A Lead Rating for Factories, prepared by Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), will be presented at a function on August 1. Architect Mr B.R. Ajith, chairman, IGBC, Cochin chapter, in a press release said that green concepts and techniques can help address national issues such as energy efficiency, conservation of natural resources, handling of consumer waste, water efficiency, and reduction in fossil fuel use in commuting.
