SVAGRIHA, Simple Versatile Affordable Green rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment, was introduced last year by TERI (The Energy and Resource institute), to facilitate Green Ratings for buildings less than 2500 Sq.Ft. SVAGRIHA is an offshoot of GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) which majorly serves large spaces.
