Energy Conservation Building Code
Appearance
The Energy Conservation Building Code[1] (ECBC), currently in draft form, specifies the energy performance requirements for all commercial buildings that are to be constructed in India. Buildings with 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[2], and is mandated by the Energy Conservation Act, 2001[3], passed by the Indian Parliament in September 2001.
