Green Building Certification consultants in Panaji.

Advisory work in Panaji sits where the river meets the capital. Along the Mandovi are hotels, the offshore casinos, government offices and the old quarters of Fontainhas and Sao Tome; across the water, Betim and Porvorim; along the coast, Miramar and Dona Paula. Inland, the Kundaim and Corlim estates hold pharmaceutical, food and engineering units. Almost every site sits under several bodies at once (Goa SPCB for consent, GCZMA for the coastal zone, TCP and the planning authority for building) and a tourism economy that watches its own image closely.

Rating a building in Panaji is a question of humidity, heavy rain and salt air. Cooling runs most of the year, the monsoon brings three or four months of downpour, and sea air shortens the life of exposed metal and glazing. Offices in Patto and Porvorim, hotels along the river and houses on the Taleigao plateau gain most from deep overhangs, cross-ventilation, laterite and local materials, and capturing the rain. Goa's traditional houses (verandahs, high ceilings, tiled roofs) already follow many of the principles the rating rewards. The work is carried from our base in the region by named people, start to finish, not passed down a chain.
