Rise of urban population for developing countries like India increases the demand for housing further adding stress on limited resources causing an undesirable impact on the environment. Study shows that the demand for residential construction and linked infrastructure including resources is always high. A strong need to reduce these impacts has risen due to its bad global effects and sustainability approach seems to be an only solution to counteract it. So, to minimize these negative impacts to environment and increase resource efficiency of this small-scale building foot prints, GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) council has made a design-cum-rating tool called SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA). This paper purposes to analyze viability of SVAGRIHA norms and give green rating as same. Recommendation of practical application of each criterion is considered.
