Deming green interior

To achieve the Deming rating , the project must satisfy all the mandatory requirements and the minimum number of credit points.
The project team is expected to provide supporting documents at preliminary and final stage of submission, for all the mandatory requirements and the credits attempted.

The project needs to submit the following:

1. Filled-in Template
2. Narratives and supporting documentation such as drawings, calculations (in excel sheets), declarations/ contract documents, purchase invoices, manufacturer cut-sheets/ letters/ material test reports, etc., for each mandatory requirement/ credit

The project documentation is submitted in two phases preliminary submittal and final submittal:

1. Preliminary phase involves submission of all documents, which shall include mandatory requirements and the minimum number of credits. The preliminary submission would commence on receipt of the certification fee (refer respective Deming rating web page for fee details). Later the preliminary submission would be reviewed by a third party assessor and the review comments would be shared within 30 working days.
2. The next phase involves submission of clarifications to preliminary review queries and final submittal. This review will also be provided within 30 working days, after which the rating is awarded.

It is important to note that the mandatory requirements and credits earned at the preliminary review are only considered as expected. These mandatory requirements and credits are not awarded until the final documents are submitted, along with additional documents showing implementation of design features. If there are changes in any expected credits aspects after preliminary review, these changes need to be documented and resubmitted during the final review.

Certification is applicable to all Deming rating systems

Precertification

Projects by developers can register for Precertification. This is an option provided for projects aspiring to get precertified at the design stage. The documentation submitted for precertification must detail the project design features, which will be implemented. The rating awarded under precertification is based on the project design details that comply with the requirements of the rating system. It is important to note that the precertification rating awarded need not neccesarily correspond to the final certification.

Precertification is applicable to the following rating systems:

• Deming New Buildings (Tenant-occupied buildings)
• Deming Green Homes
• Deming Green Townships
• Deming Green SEZs

Deming offers Provisional certification for projects applying for MoEF Clearance. The provisional certification process will be same as precertification process.

Provisional certification is applicable to the following rating systems:

• Deming New Buildings – Owner occupied buildings
• Deming Green Factory Building

The projects which seek precertification need to submit the following documentation:

1. Filled in Templates
2.Narratives and supporting documentation such as drawings, calculations (in excel sheets), declarations/ contract documents, purchase invoices, manufacturer cut sheets/ letters/ material test reports, etc., for each mandatory requirement/ credit.

Deming would take 30 working days to review the first set of precertification documents. On receiving the clarifications posed in the first review, Deming would take another 30 working days to award the precertification. A certificate and a letter are provided to projects on precertification.

Precertified projects are required to provide the status of the project to Deming, in relation to the rating, once in every six months until the award of the final rating. Pre-certification gives the owner/ developer a unique advantage to market the project to potential buyers.

Appeal

In rare cases, mandatory requirements/ credits get denied due to misinterpretation of the intent. On receipt of the final review and if the project team feels that sufficient grounds exist to appeal a credit denied in the final review, the project has an option to appeal to Deming for reassessment of denying mandatory requirements and/ or credits. The documentation of the mandatory requirements / credits seeking appeal may be resubmitted to Deming along with necessary fees. Deming will take 30 working days to review such documentation. If an appeal is pursued, please note that a different review team will be assessing the appeal documentation.

1. Filled-in Template for respective mandatory requirement/ credit.
2. Appeal submittal documentation for only those mandatory requirement/ credits that the project is appealing for. Also, include a narrative for each appealed mandatory requirement/ credit to describe how the documents address the reviewers` comments and concerns.
