The Centre for Green Building Materials and Technology was established in 2004 as a trust under the Societies Act, under section 12A of the Income Tax Act 1961, to bring Sustainable building technologies into the mainstream building sector. Operating as a sister organization of Manasaram Architects and supported by Aditi Constructions & Aditigreenscapes, the trust was started as a response to the dearth of awareness, trained personnel, and sufficient data in the field of Sustainable building materials and technologies.
Since its inception, CGBMT has worked towards the promotion of Environment-friendly solutions for a Sustainable way of living through various fields of research and development locally, nationally, and internationally.
