Green Building Door Credit Estimator
Pick your door specs — FSC sourcing, recycled content, low-VOC, regional and energy performance — and a rating system (IGBC, GRIHA or LEED) to see the indicative credit points doors can contribute, by category. Points are assessor-decided — this is a planning estimate, not a certification.
Door spec
Materials & Resources, IEQ and Energy Efficiency categories. Doors contribute toward these categories — they rarely win a whole credit alone. Indicative India 2026 mapping; the certification body's assessor decides the actual award.

How to document each contribution
Submit these to your IGBC Green Homes / NB (CII–IGBC) assessor. Indicative points show for each category you have specified.
| Category | Indicative pts | Document with |
|---|---|---|
| Certified / responsible sourcing | 2 / 2 | FSC / PEFC chain-of-custody certificate + invoice naming the project. |
| Recycled / reclaimed content | 1 / 2 | Manufacturer declaration of pre/post-consumer recycled % by mass. |
| Low-VOC / indoor air quality | 1 / 2 | E1/E0/NAF formaldehyde grade + GREENGUARD / water-based finish data. |
| Regional / local materials | 1 / 1 | Extraction & manufacture within ~400 km — supplier distance declaration. |
| Energy performance (thermal door) | 1 / 2 | U-value / thermal-break data sheet feeding the envelope/energy model. |

DesignAI helps you choose certified, low-VOC, thermally efficient doors for your rating target — and lists the EPD and chain-of-custody documents an assessor will want.
Assumptions & caveats
- Doors contribute toward Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality / IAQ and Energy categories — they almost never earn a whole credit alone. Points shown are an indicative planning estimate, not an award.
- The actual points are decided by the accredited assessor / certification body (CII–IGBC, GRIHA Council, USGBC/GBCI) reviewing your full submission. Treat this as a conversation-starter, not a certificate.
- Confirm every claim with a manufacturer EPD, third-party certification (FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody, GREENGUARD, GreenPro, ECOMARK) and your green-building / energy consultant before submitting.
- Energy contribution depends on the building's envelope/energy model (ENS 2018, ECBC 2017) — a door's U-value feeds that model rather than scoring on its own.
- This is a free planning tool — no purchase, fee or 18% GST is involved.
