New-Delhi- With the recent relaxation of the FAR (floor area ratio) by the Delhi government in the city, the ?green buildings in Delhi are expected to have a higher FAR when compared to the conventional buildings.
Green buildings, which are quite economical, help in reducing the electricity bill, save water and create a comfortable living space. The recent announcement of the implementation of the FAR was done by the?lieutenant governor (LG). The FAR in Delhi mostly varies as per the land?s size.
All the agencies in Delhi were asked by the LG ?to convert the maximum properties in Delhi in to eco-friendly structures as these eco-friendly?buildings are creating a greater impact on reducing the carbon footprint in cities. Apart from this, the green buildings also consume very less?energy?to cool and heat the structure. With the increase of the FAR in Delhi, a large number of people can shift to eco-friendly buildings. This increase in the FAR will also be included in the Delhi Master Plan 2020.
However ?an increase of the FAR by one percent in green buildings has been?recommended by the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC) ?to the urban development ministry. As per a DUAC official, the two key features of their recent recommendations are an increase in the FAR along with the ?permission to use the roof area for the roof-top solar photo-voltaic panels by builders.
The official also stated that, since the?green rating for integrated habitat assessment (GRIHA) has become quite obligatory now, it will not find it difficult to transfer to green?architecture. As per his suggestion, there should be three?independent architects who can take up this project, whereas one of them will be the building architect and the two others to ensure that the construction follows the bylaws. With no hindrances in the project, it will be easy to get clearance.
These incentives are being used in the Western countries too to promote the green buildings wherein most of the countries are recommending for the reduction of the clearance time for green buildings.
