 ECBC – Status of adoption by States
 Section 15 – Powers of State Government
 Amend ECBC to suit regional and local climatic conditions and
may, by rules made by it specify and notify ECBC with respect to
use of energy in the buildings.
 Section 18 – Power of Central Government or State Government
 Central Government or State Government may issue directives for
efficient use of energy and its conservation

States have used the powers under EC Act to notify/ issue directives for ECBC

Notification can also be done through amendments in local (municipal)

building bye-laws

Ministry of Power, India 10

Energy Conservation Building Code
 ECBC
 minimum energy efficiency standards
 Applicable to large commercial buildings
 (connected load of 100 kW/contract demand of 120 kVA and above)
 ECBC prescribes standards for:
 Building Envelope (Walls, Roofs, Windows)
 Lighting (Indoor and Outdoor)
 Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System
 Solar Hot Water Heating
 Electrical Systems

While ECBC developed at Central level by BEE, its enforcement lies with
the States
Ministry of Urban Development developed generic building bye-laws and
advisory circulated to include in bye-laws

 Highlights of ECBC 2017
Integration New sections in ECBC 2017-
of current ECBC 2017 to have an International benchmark
provisions
and relevant Code specific to Indian conditions – Climatic and Construction
standards Pave the way for future net zero energy buildings

3 different sets of
requirement – Wider scope in Comfort systems and controls, Daylighting,
ECBC 2017, Shading
ECBC+ buildings, Integration of low energy comfort systems, natural requirement with
SuperECBC ventilation, set points, Controls relaxed U value
buildings

Compliance for
Revised Provision for Stringent Lighting
Stringent
New
document requirements for
inclusion of Requirements Construction,
air conditioning
structure for Renewable with focus on
systems and
Core & Shell,
ease of use Energy better controls Tenant lease type
