Posted onOct 30, 2024

In an era where sustainability is not just a choice but a necessity, Varma Homes has carved a niche for itself in the real estate sector of Kochi with its pioneering project, Gardenia. Achieving the prestigious IGBC Platinum Precertification, Gardenia stands as a testament to Varma Homes' commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative green building practices. This achievement marks a significant milestone not only for Varma Homes but also for Kochi, setting a benchmark in sustainable living.

What is IGBC Platinum Precertification?

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) offers a Platinum certification to projects that meet exemplary standards of energy efficiency and environmental preservation. This highest level of certification reflects a building's reduced environmental impact in various areas, including water efficiency, energy efficiency, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Features of Gardenia That Led to the Certification

Gardenia by Varma Homes has incorporated several key features that align with the stringent criteria set by the IGBC:

• Energy Efficiency: Utilizing advanced solar panels, energy-efficient lighting, and HVAC systems, Gardenia reduces its overall energy consumption significantly.
• Water Conservation: The project includes rainwater harvesting systems and water-efficient fixtures that minimize water waste, ensuring every drop is used judiciously.
• Sustainable Materials: From recycled materials in construction to low-emitting paints and coatings, Gardenia uses environmentally friendly materials across all phases of construction.
• Waste Management: An efficient waste management system segregates and recycles waste, reducing the burden on landfills and promoting recycling.

The Impact of This Achievement

The IGBC Platinum Precertification of Gardenia serves as a beacon for prospective homeowners who are increasingly aware of their environmental footprint and seeking sustainable living options. It not only enhances the lifestyle of its residents but also contributes to the health of the planet. For Kochi, this sets a progressive example for other developers to follow, pushing the envelope for environmental innovation in urban development.
