The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras would be going in for a green audit of its campus next month. The audit will be done by a third party and a tender has been called already.
Ligy Philip, Dean, Planning, said the audit would be an independent assessment of their performance towards achieving a green campus. “We are going for Indian Green Building Council certification. Energy audit is part of the green audit,” she said.
The campus is home to around 15,000 individuals of which 11,500 are students. Another 3,000 persons visit daily. Next year the institute will add another 2,500 students pushing the human population to around 18,000 to 20,000.
