(SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)
(a): The Energy Conservation and Sustainable Building Code (ECSBC) is
framed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in 2024, replacing
the Energy Conservation and Building Code (ECBC) and applies to new
buildings or building complexes, whether residential, commercial, or
official use, with a minimum connected load of 100 kW or a contracted
demand of about 120 kVA and above.
…2/--2-
Under awareness campaigns and capacity-building programmes in
States/UTs, a total of 973 training programmes were conducted and
approximately 41000 officials have been trained on ECSBC/ECBC by BEE
during last five years since 2021. Also, CPWD Works Manual mandates all
major projects to be minimum 3 Star (Upto 5 Star) GRIHA (Green Rating for
Integrated Assessment-2021) certification in which all eco-friendly features
are integrated part of all projects. CPWD with the help of Bureau of Energy
Efficiency published Delhi Schedule of Rates (E&M) – 2025 which has
provision for Energy efficient E&M items. CPWD has emphasis to use C&D
waste judiciously and has issued necessary guidelines in this regard. Use
of non-conventional energy such as rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) solar power
generation, Solar water heating, Geo-thermal heat exchange are being
adopted in CPWD Works. The energy efficient technology and material,
Energy efficient lighting, renewable energy system are also being used in
CPWD Works to reduce heat loss in building and lesser use of AC appliance
etc.
(b) During the last five years an amount of Rs. 54,20,55,329/- has been
allocated to various States/UTs under energy efficiency programmes
implemented by BEE. The details of fund allocation for the last five years
(FY 2021-26) are attached at Annexure-I.
(c) BEE develops and updates the code, states adopt it through legal
notification, and urban local bodies (ULBs) integrate its provisions into the
building approval and permitting process. Approximately 1,400 ULBs
across twenty-seven States and Union Territories have adopted ECBC for
implementation. BEE does not maintain a list of ECBC-compliant buildings
or building complexes nationwide.
(d) No such policy exists. However, all possible measures are being taken
for energy efficient green buildings as part of renovation, upgradation and
maintenance work.
