'''The Energy Conservation Building Code''' (ECBC), launched on 28 June 2007, is a document that specifies the [[Energy conservation|energy performance]] requirements for all commercial buildings that are to be constructed in [[India]]. Buildings with an [[Electricity sector in India|electrical]] connected load of 500 [[kW]] or more are covered by the ECBC. |
|||
The ECBC has been developed by India’s [[Bureau of Energy Efficiency]], and is mandated by the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, passed by the [[Indian Parliament]] in September 2001. |
|||
The ECBC provides design norms for: |
|||
* Building envelope, including thermal performance requirements for walls, roofs, and windows; |
|||
* Lighting system, including daylighting, and lamps and luminaire performance requirements; |
|||
* HVAC system, including energy performance of chillers and air distribution systems; |
|||
* Electrical system; and |
|||
* Water heating and pumping systems, including requirements for solar hot-water systems. |
|||
The code provides three options for compliance: |
|||
# Compliance with the performance requirements for each subsystem and system; |
|||
# Compliance with the performance requirements of each system, but with tradeoffs between subsystems; and |
|||
# Building-level performance compliance. |
|||
Simulation exercises indicate that ECBC-compliant buildings use 40 to 60% less energy than similar baseline buildings. |
