IGBRS : A National Solution for Sustainable Buildings
IGBRS is the gateway to a new era of sustainable construction in the country. Environmental concerns and climate change are increasing at a significant rate. As a native and intelligent solution, IGBRS enhances the quality of construction and reduces the destructive environmental impacts. As one of the largest consumers of resources and producers of waste, Iran’s construction industry increasingly needs to abandon traditional methods and move towards modern standards.
In many developed countries, standards such as LEED and green building rating systems have been paving the way for sustainable construction for many years. Now in Iran, with the establishment of the national IGBRS system, the ground has been laid for localizing this approach and realizing sustainable development.
What is IGBRS?
IGBRS is the first national assessment and ranking system for green buildings in the country, designed by the Road, Housing and Urban Development Research Center in collaboration with the Green Building Policy Council. The goal of IGBIS is to address the national need to reduce the environmental impacts of buildings and improve the quality of life.
What sets IGBRS apart is its special focus on the climatic conditions, national resources, and local materials of the country. This system is based on international models but is fully localized to suit the needs and capacities of Iran, and with scientific criteria and careful evaluation, it offers a new standard for sustainable construction.
Benefits of using IGBRS
- Compatibility with the environment and reduction of energy consumption.
- Use of local materials and support for domestic production.
- Enhancing the quality of residents’ health and comfort.
- Promoting green building culture in Iran.
- Increasing the economic added value of projects.
The role of IGBRS in sustainable development
By leveraging indicators and precise assessments, IGBRS guides architects, builders, and owners to implement their projects in accordance with environmental standards and resource optimization. The ultimate goal of this system is to institutionalize the principles of sustainability and actively involve all stakeholders in building a green future for cities and future generations.
