 Bureau of Energy Efficiency
Energy Conservation (EC) BEE Established on
Act 2001 1st March 2002 under EC
Act
• Norms for Energy
Intensive Industries • Implement regulatory
and promotional
• Standard & Labeling functions of EC Act.

• Energy Conservation • Reduce Energy Intensity

Building Code of our country

• Demand Side • Has State Designated

Management Agencies in each state
for enforcement and
• Certification of Energy awareness
Professionals

Bureau of Energy Efficiency 2

Functions of Bureau
Functions of the Bureau are as follows: 
 The process and energy consumption standards required to be notified;
 The labeling of certain equipment requiring some input of energy, along with
the prescription about the display of standards upon such labels;
 To notify users or class of users as ‘designated consumers’ under this law.

In addition to these, the Bureau according to its functions under the law has
to take suitable steps to: 
 create awareness and disseminate information for efficient use of energy and
conservation
 training of personnel;
 strengthen consultancy services;
 promote research and development in the field of energy efficiency
 the develop good testing and certification procedure;
 promote use of energy efficient process, equipment, devices and systems;
 promote innovative financing of energy efficiency projects; etc.

Why Star Labeling?
 Wide variation in energy consumption by
products of manufacturers is observed.
 Information on energy consumption is often not
easily available, sufficient or easy to understand
from the nameplate.
 Lead to continued manufacture and purchase of
inefficient equipment and appliances.

History and Success

 Started in Poland way back in 1962
 Worldwide 65 countries implemented including
California USA in 1976
 Australia, Canada, China, Brazil, Thailand,
Japan, and the United Kingdom (U.K.)

Brand – Star Label
 Voluntary labels for refrigerators and air
conditioners introduced in December 2006
 Aggressive advertising and outreach
promoted labels as a brand of superior
products – manufacturers piggybacked on
label advertising
 Labeled products bought for check testing
 Labeling seldom works if payback period is
more than 4-5 years; maximum sales is of
products with 2-3 years payback

What is standard or label?
What is Standards?
 Prescribe limits on the energy consumption (or minimum levels of the energy
efficiency) of manufactured products.
 “Standards” commonly encompasses two possible meanings:
 well-defined test protocols to obtain a sufficiently accurate estimate
 target limits on energy performance
What is Label?
 Describes energy performance (in the form of energy use, efficiency or energy cost)
 “Labels” mainly give consumers the necessary information to make informed
purchase. There are two types of labels:
Comparative Label Endorsement Label
Allow consumers to compare the energy Provide a ‘certification’ to inform
consumption of similar products, and prospective purchasers that the product is
factor lifetime running cost into their highly energy efficient for its category.
