The NAAC accreditation regulates and defines the performance and quality of the educational institutions in India. The NAAC grade exhibits the quality of education, learning infrastructure, research facilities, etc.Â
The Green or Environmental Audit or Energy Audit is associated with the Criterion 7 – Institutional Values and Best Practices.
A green audit is critical for a college or educational institutes in determining the best grades from the National Assessment and Accreditation (NAAC).Â
The green audit report for NAAC exhibits the practical ways through which colleges and universities are consuming natural resources and energy. The reports determine whether the educational campus is utilising the various natural resources or renewable energy.

It evaluates the amount of green space on the campus and looks at other important environmental factors. This audit also examines how energy resources are used and managed, as well as other environmental elements
