Green Building Certification consultants in Mormugao.

Mormugao's advisory work is shaped by cargo. The port on the headland beside Vasco grew on iron ore railed and barged down from Goa's mines, and since the mining leases were halted it has leaned more on coal and other bulk, with dust that the town downwind has not stopped talking about. Along the Zuari sit a fertiliser complex, barge and ship yards, and the naval airfield at Dabolim with its civilian terminal. A short drive south, the Verna and Cuncolim estates hold pharmaceutical, electronics, food and fish-processing units, all under Goa SPCB.

On this peninsula, the rating case is made mostly at Verna. Drug makers, electronics assemblers and warehouse builders there often carry a group rule that every new block be rated, and IGBC's scheme for factories fits their sheds. Down in Vasco and Chicalim, flats and offices stand in wet heat with sea wind from two sides, which eats at railings and window frames. Louvred façades, cross-draughts, stainless or coated fittings and roof water led into sumps are what score here: and what lower the bill. The work is carried from our base in the region by named people, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
