Extensive poverty is found in the country. In order to eradicate the poverty from the country, the industrial development is done with a very high speed in the country. We allowed the unscientific river-bed mining, we constructed big dams on the hills, we constructed the wide roads, we also constructed the sky-scrapers, and we cut down the so many trees in the name of establishing industries and development. Along with it, we forgot that for the survival of the human being the natural resources and clean environment is also required. The economic development and clean environment are two important aspects for a developing country like India. There is a call of time that a trade off between these two should be made. In other words, economical development should be done protecting the environment or sustainable development should be done. Today, sustainable development has become a global concern. Sustainable development is the development to meet the needs of present generation without compromising the needs of the future generation. The manner in which we are using the natural resource is neither good for the present generation nor for the future generation. If today we are not aware of this problem, we and our coming generation has to suffer a lot. One recent example of it is before us that is cloud bursting of Uttarakhand in June, 2013. This calamity swept away thousands of homes, schools, hotels and other buildings built too close to collapsing river banks, while landslides sent mud and boulders hurtling down steep mountainsides, burying buildings and breaking up roads. Around 200 bridges have been washed away, nearly 5,000 roads damaged, connectivity to 4,300 villages snapped -- electricity and water supplies disrupted, telephone lines collapsed. Now, in such a situation, there is a giant question before us – can we protect this earth and provide a good environment for the next generation. If yes, what we have to do for it. Keeping this in mind an endeavor is made in this direction to get the solution for the problem by calling the papers from the experts, accademedicians and researchers from different parts of the country and bind them in the shape of a book. We hope that it will be useful and l enable us to adopt a right and effective approach for the preservation of Himalayas, and redevelopment of devastated areas of the Uttarakhand. Following su-themes are included in the book: 1. Problem of Sustainable Development and Industrial Development in India 2. Disaster Management Issues in Uttarakhand 3. Problem of Migration from Hills to Plains in Uttarakhand 4. Problem of Sustainable Development of Uttarakhand after 2013 Disaster 5. Eco-Tourism 6. Environmental Degradation, Education & Protection 7. And other relating Issues. 2 Journal Global Values Vol. VII 2016 Special Issues ISSN (e): 2454-8391 S.

It focuses on the strategies and technologies used to attain the credits under Energy and Atmosphere category and hindrances and catalysts associated with renewable energy credits (on-site/off-site). The study was undertaken in three buildings, two certified under USGBC LEED NC and the third registered under IGBC LEED NC. Case studies were developed for the same. Project managers, chief engineers and consultants associated with the three buildings were interviewed to gather data. In addition, six LEED NC consultants were interviewed which had provided consultancy to the buildings which have implemented or are implementing renewable energy systems to take their perspective on the hindrances and catalysts associated with Renewable Energy credits (on-site/off-site). On analyzing the strategies and technologies being used in the three buildings, it was seen that some of the technologies have been adopted by all three buildings indicating these may have been easier to comply with than others. Some of the technologies were not adopted by any of the buildings, indicating that they were comparatively difficult to be achieved. The study also showed catalysts and hindrances behind Renewable energy credits (on- site/off-site). The hindrances which have emerged from the study can be worked upon so that more and more buildings can take up renewable
