Present world is demanding sustainable practises in all walks of life and construction industry is not different. The sustainability concept in construction industry has come a long way but still there is need for new developments and inventions. One of the key aspect of sustainable construction is the concept of green buildings. It is the type of buildings that are environment friendly as well as resource efficient. There are several systems for assessing the green building and rating them accordingly. In India, there exist 3 major rating systems but all of these systems only account for very large buildings or small commercial buildings. This research focus on trying to accommodate a small existing residential building into the framework of one of the rating systems SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) for converting the partly conventional building into green building. The building condition was analysed and green building concepts were recommended. A simple cost analysis for the additional works and systems were also done to show the economical aspect of conversion to green building. A set of recommendation to better the green building rating systems as well as for administrative level were given.
