Green Building Certification consultants in Gujarat.

Advisory work in Gujarat ranges over belts that barely resemble one another. In the south, the Golden Corridor climbs the highway north from Sarigam and Vapi past Ankleshwar, Jhagadia and Dahej, where makers of dyes, pesticides, intermediates and drugs stand fence to fence. The centre carries refining and engineering; Saurashtra carries foundries, ceramics, brass and the refinery town of Jamnagar; Kutch has become a coast of ports, power plants and new renewable parks. Over all of them sits one board (GPCB, headquartered in Gandhinagar) and scores of listed groups whose reporting reaches back into every belt.

A rating in Gujarat has to answer two climates. The north, Kutch and Saurashtra are hot and dry, with dusty summers and nights that stay warm; the southern coast from Surat to Valsad is humid and takes the heavier monsoon. A design that suits Bhuj (thick walls, small shaded openings, inward courtyards) would hold damp in Valsad, where cross-ventilation and rain shedding count for more. Factory sheds make up much of what the state builds, and on a long shed the roof, the daylight and the insulation decide most of the score. The work is carried from our base in the region by named people, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
