The findings are evaluated against risk factors identified in different contexts to assess their contextual relevance. Further, the green building rating in India and the regulatory aspects are correlated with the risks and inferences drawn out of the correlation to establish the requisites to move towards green buildings.The data are results conducted from the survey used to arrive at the severity of risks by using the Relative Importance Index method, with the help of the probability and impact of the risk factors ranked by the green building industry stakeholders.
