4 ECBC Compliance
The code compliance procedure requires the new building to fulfil a set of mandatory
provisions in sections 4.2, 5.2, 6.2, 7.2 and 8.2. Also, Code compliance requirement
can be met by following one of the two methods.
 Prescriptive method
 Whole building performance (WBP)
Proposed building is following option 2 (Whole building performance) to show the
compliance.

12 Whole Building Performance Report

Commercial and Retail Building, Gowlidoddi

4.1 Whole building performance

Whole building energy performance is a computer based analytical process that help
building owners and designers to evaluate the energy performance of a building and
make it more energy efficient by making necessary modifications in the design before
the building is constructed. Use of energy simulation software is necessary in option 2
to show compliance with ECBC via “Whole Building Performance Method”.
This includes performing a whole building 3D simulation of the building to simulate
the existing design. This 3D model will mimic the existing design and include the
entire design parameters such as materials, envelope, fenestration, HVAC, lighting,
plug loads, other loads, people, occupancy etc. We have used DOE 2 based e-Quest as
the simulation program.
The energy performance of the design building is compared to the ECBC standard
case to document the performance of the proposed design vis-à-vis the ECBC
reference building.
How an energy simulation program works a building’s Energy requirements change
continuously under different conditions of weather, occupancy, operation etc. The
sequence of calculation is repeated many times to simulate an annual operation cycle.
The results of all the repeated calculations are then compiled to produce the total
yearly consumption and costs.
For input and calculation purposes, the building is divided into thermal zones. Each
thermal zone has certain load characteristics and is served by specific types of
conditioning, lighting and other energy consuming systems. The program does most
of its calculations separately for each zone.
Whole Building 3D energy simulation includes:
 Basic assessment and understanding of the architectural and constructional
Philosophy along with the overall objective of the project
 Data collection of the required inputs for the Energy Optimization Program e.g.
 Schedules of occupancies, holidays, lighting, equipment usage, etc.
 All constructions material details and specifications
 Details of windows, glazing, fenestration etc.
 Details of lighting, equipment power density
 Basic HVAC details like type of system, power consumption, air cooled,
water cooled etc.
 Details of other energy requirements like hot water, outside lighting etc.
 3-D modelling of the building as per the software requirement and all
relevant data entry into the Energy Optimization Software Program
 Bench marking the energy requirement for the Standard Design Case for
minimum compliance energy levels as per ECBC.
 Developing Energy Efficiency Measures to better the minimum
compliance energy levels as indicated above
13 Whole Building Performance Report
Commercial and Retail Building, Gowlidoddi

 Putting together all Energy Efficiency Measures for the proposed building
Design
 Arriving at the proposed case energy consumption results
 Arriving at the whole building energy reduction achieved of the proposed
case vis-à-vis ECBC case.

5 Building Envelope
5.1 Mandatory Requirements under ECBC
The mandatory provisions of ECBC are met in the building design stage such as:
 U-Factor shall be certified by material manufacturer determined for vertical
fenestration in accordance with ISO-15099.
 U-factors for external brick, roof assembly shall be determined from the default
tables in Appendix C11 or determined from data or procedures contained in the
ASHRAE.
 SHGC and VLT of vertical fenestration certified by material manufacturer
determined in accordance with ISO-15099.
 The sealing of building envelope is ensured using sealing, caulking, gasketing
and weather-stripping for envelope components like vertical fenestration, walls,
roof, doors, etc. as provided in section 4.2.2 of AP ECBC.

6.2 Summary of recommendations for HVAC
Project is already proposing the Chillers with COP of 6.5, which is efficient than

7. Lighting
Lighting alone accounts for almost 15% of the total energy consumption in India.
Lighting is an area that offers many energy efficiency opportunities in almost any
building facility, existing or new. Using efficient lighting equipment and controls is
the best way to ensure lighting energy efficiency while maintaining or even improving
lighting conditions. For a lighting designer, an energy efficient lighting design
involves careful integration of many requirements and considerations such as building
orientation, interior building layout, task illumination, daylight strategies, glazing
specification, choice of lighting controls, etc.
7.1 Lighting power density
The Building area method is used to ensure compliance with code.
