Introduction to Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) India

Implementation of ECBC

Key interventions for ECBC implementation

3

The Energy Conservation Act was enacted on 1st October, 2001.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) was set up on 1st March, 2002.

It is a statutory body under the Ministry of Power, under the provisions of the EC Act.

The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) was developed by BEE and launched on 27th May, 2007.

It was revised and relaunched on 19th June, 2017.

ECBC Cell

ECBC implementation and enforcement is done at the state and local level.

The cells bridge knowledge, technical and human resource gap in the state.

The composition of the cells differs in different parts of the country.

The cells have a mixture of architects and engineers from different

streams (mechanical, electrical, etc.), as per requirement of the

particular cell.

The cells mainly do three types of activities:

Regulatory Framework

Assistance

Demonstration

Projects Capacity Building

- Prepare

documentation for

notification (Supports

SDA)

- Update code to suit

local requirements

(Supports UDD)

- Update the SoR

(Supports PWD)

- Amend the bye-laws

(Supports ULB)

- Pilot projects are

done in states where

ECBC has been

notified

- Cells work with PWD

and other govt.

agencies to implement

these projects

- Provide logistical

support to SDA for

conducting training

programmes

- Conduct training

programmes for govt.

officials

Updating the SoR in Karnataka

SoR Schedule of Rates

SoR is a reference document followed by PWD and some Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) for providing material and technology specifications and for cost calculations.

ECBC cell assisted Karnataka PWD in updating the SoR to include energy efficient materials and technologies.

Karnataka has two distinct SoR documents – one for civil works, another for electrical & mechanical works.

BEP & EMIS Tool

Building Energy Passport

A unified identity of the

energy performance of a

building during the design,

construction and operation

phase.

A way to combine

compliance check and

rating.

Will work in coordination

with the Energy Monitoring

Information System (EMIS)

tool.
