'''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 a committee set up by India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency, with support and guidance from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and significant inputs from various other stakeholders like practicing architects, consultants, educational institutions and other government organizations. |
|||
The successful implementation of the code requires development of compliance procedures, procedures for checking compliance; compliance forms and development of field-test compliance forms and procedures, in addition to building capacity of architects / designers / builders / contractors and town planning authorities of States and local bodies, housing finance organizations etc and making available in appropriate quantities manufacturing capacity for energy efficient materials it requires. |
|||
BEE with the support form [http://eco3.org/ USAID ECO- III Project] is promoting and facilitating Code adoption through training and capacity building programmes, pilot demonstration projects, and identifying steps for compliance check and monitoring of ECBC. ECBC [http://www.bee-india.nic.in/ecbc/ECBC-userguide.pdf User Guide] was developed to support ECBC implementation provides detailed guidance to the users on how to comply with the Code. Four ECBC Tip Sheets on [http://www.eco3.org/downloads/002-ECBC/Energy%20Simulation%20(Public-Version).pdf Energy Simulation], [http://www.eco3.org/downloads/002-ECBC/Envelope%20Tip%20Sheet%20(Public).pdf Building Envelope], [http://www.eco3.org/downloads/002-ECBC/Lighting-Tip%20Sheet%20(Public).pdf Lighting Design] and [http://www.eco3.org/downloads/002-ECBC/HVAC-Tip%20Sheet%20(Public).pdf HVAC] were also developed which provide useful information on Code compliance. |
|||
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. |
