Energy Conservation Building Code 2017

The Energy Conservation Building Code 2017 (ECBC 2017) was launched by the Indian government to prescribe energy performance standards for new commercial buildings. It sets parameters for builders to integrate renewable energy and passive design strategies to optimize energy savings while maintaining occupant comfort. Buildings must demonstrate minimum energy savings of 25% to be compliant, with higher grades for 35% and 50% savings. If adopted nationwide, ECBC 2017 could reduce energy use in commercial buildings by 50% by 2030, saving Rs. 35,000 crore and cutting CO2 emissions by 250 million tons.

Energy Conservation Building Code 2017

Energy Conservation Building Code 2017 (ECBC 2017) was launched by Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal, New and
Renewable Energy and Mines. It has been developed by Ministry of Power and Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), with
technical support from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the U.S.-India bilateral
Partnership to Advance Clean Energy Deployment Technical Assistance (PACE-D TA) Program.

It prescribes the energy performance standards for new commercial buildings to be constructed across India. ECBC 2017
sets parameters for builders, designers and architects to integrate renewable energy sources in building design with the
inclusion of passive design strategies. The code aims to optimise energy savings with the comfort levels for occupants,
and prefers life-cycle cost effectiveness to achieve energy neutrality in commercial buildings.

Buildings need to demonstrate minimum energy savings of 25% to be considered as ECBC-compliant.

Additional improvements in energy efficiency would lead to higher grades like ECBC Plus (savings of 35%) or Super
ECBC (savings of 50%).

Adoption of ECBC 2017 for new commercial buildings throughout India will lead to estimated reduction of 50% in energy
use by 2030. This will be equivalent to expenditure savings of Rs 35,000 crore and 250 million tonnes of CO2 reduction.
