Sustainable development is generally reflected as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future. It has become very hard to meet with the growing infrastructure and exploitation of resources, without the consideration of serious risks caused to the environment. Carbon emissions from various sources contribute to Global warming causing erratic weather conditions, rising temperature and climate change leading to large scale negative effects to the planet. Therefore the growth of infrastructure which inevitably cannot be stopped can still be measured and kept under boundaries of safe limits aiding in the reduction of environmental impacts. This can be achieved by the use of Environmental Assessment tools to measure the sustainability of a product in a built environment. The development of these tools is mainly influenced by the country of its origin and on the region it is used extensively, making it difficult in adopting the same tool for different scenarios around the world. A survey has been conducted among people related to the construction industry in India to get a better understanding of their perceptions to these assessment tools. From the findings of the survey and data gathered it has been recommended that LEED 2009 for New construction and Major Renovations as more appropriate for Indian conditions with certain customized changes in its environmental issues.
