(C) Title of the project (tentative): Assessment of Building Energy Performance

(D) Abstract/outline of the project:

The energy performance of a building concerns the amount of energy consumed or estimated to satisfy all the needs of

the building (heating, hot water heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting). Assessment of building energy covers a range of

environmental issues such as materials, energy, water, pollution, indoor environmental quality and building site.

With economic growth and growing prosperity the energy demands in India are rising. The country is now faced with

the challenge of meeting growing energy needs to sustain its economic growth, while dealing with the global threat of

climate change. The countrywide electricity consumption in commercial buildings since 2003 has gone up by 13

percent annually. This poses a challenge to the overall energy supply, and at the same time has an impact on the

environment. The use of energy efficient design and technology therefore is crucial. In India there is a potential to

reduce energy consumption in new commercial buildings by up to 50 percent. In 2007, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency

(BEE) of the Government of India came up with an energy code for new buildings. The code focuses on the

implementation of minimum energy efficiency standards for the design of new buildings for commercial purposes. This

code, however, is not mandatory. The overall objective of the project is to study and reduce energy consumption in the

buildings in India.
