Bureau of Energy Efficiency

ECBC & EE improvements in existing buildings

11th plan: Focused on creating an enabling framework

• Avoided capacity addition of 607 MW has been assessed.

• Development of conformance/compliance check tool (ECOnirman), technical

reference material

• Standard ECBC Training Modules covering various aspects of the code

• Empanelment of 114 Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)

• Harmonization of ECBC with National Building Code and integration of

ECBC with Building Bye-laws

• Amendments in CPWD SOR incorporating energy efficiency parameters

12th Plan: Wide scale implementation of ECBC

Budget allocation: Rs. 35.00 crores

75 % of all new starts of commercial buildings are ECBC compliant

20% of the existing commercial buildings reduce their energy consumption

through retrofits

This would lead to energy saving of 5.07 BU from commercial buildings

Progress so far
