Surmount Energy’s BuildTrack Achieves GRIHA Certification

Surmount Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is proud to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards advancing sustainability in India. Our flagship product, the BuildTrack Energy & Water Monitoring & Compliance Platform, has been officially included in the GRIHA Product Catalogue.

This certification is a powerful endorsement of BuildTrack’s capability to help construction projects meet rigorous green building standards and contribute to a more sustainable future.

What Does This GRIHA Certification Mean?

The Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) is India’s national rating system for green buildings, a joint initiative of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). Being listed in the GRIHA Product Catalogue signifies that:

• Proven Compliance: The BuildTrack platform is now a recognized solution for projects aiming to achieve compliance under Criterion 28 of both GRIHA V.2015 and V.2019. This criterion focuses on the installation of energy and water metering and monitoring systems, a critical component for optimizing a building’s resource efficiency.
• National Recognition: GRIHA Council’s stamp of approval validates BuildTrack’s technical robustness and its role in promoting integrated habitat assessment across the country.
• Trusted Solution: Architects, developers, and project managers working on GRIHA-registered projects can confidently specify BuildTrack to help meet their sustainability targets.

BuildTrack Energy & Water Monitoring Platform

Certified under the typology of “Smart Metering and Monitoring (One-way and Two-way Communication System),” BuildTrack is an integrated IoT-based platform that transforms raw data from your building’s meters into actionable intelligence.

1. Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Track energy consumption across your entire facility with live dashboards and detailed analytics. Identify energy-intensive zones and equipment to optimize usage patterns.
2. Advanced Water Management: Monitor water consumption in real-time, detect leaks automatically, and track water usage patterns to implement effective conservation strategies.
3. Predictive Maintenance: Transform from reactive to proactive maintenance with AI-driven alerts and equipment health monitoring, reducing downtime and extending asset lifespan.
4. Carbon Emission Tracking: Automatically calculate and track your building’s carbon footprint, enabling you to meet sustainability goals and environmental compliance requirements.
5. Automated Regulatory Compliance: Specifically designed to meet Indian standards, BuildTrack simplifies compliance with GRIHA, ECBC, and other regulatory requirements through automated reporting and documentation.

By implementing BuildTrack, projects go beyond just checking a box for GRIHA certification. They unlock tangible benefits:

• Reduce Operational Costs: Achieve up to 10-15% reduction in costs through identified efficiencies and waste elimination.
• Enhanced Asset Life: Proactive monitoring and maintenance recommendations help in maintaining systems optimally, extending their lifespan.
• Informed Decision-Making: Data-driven insights support smarter capital planning—for instance, identifying which equipment to retrofit or replace for maximum ROI.
• Streamlined Facility Management: Empower your team with centralized control and automated reporting, reducing manual monitoring efforts.

A Step Forward for Sustainable Development in India

This achievement aligns perfectly with Surmount Energy’s core mission: to provide innovative technology solutions that drive energy and water conservation. The inclusion of BuildTrack in the GRIHA Catalogue not only enhances our product’s credibility but also strengthens the ecosystem of tools available for creating greener, more intelligent, and sustainable buildings in India.
