Bureau of Energy Efficiency had launched Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2007 to
establish minimum energy performance standards for buildings in India. Buildings consume
significant proportion of our energy resources and the ECBC is an essential regulatory tool to
curb their energy footprint.
Building energy codes are updated regularly to catch up with the curve of technology
maturation and to set higher benchmarks for building energy efficiency. In alignment with
current market scenario and advanced technologies ECBC has been taken for update also.
Energy efficient technologies and materials that were aspirational in the years preceding
launch of ECBC are now commonly available in Indian markets. Accordingly, ECBC 2017 has
been revised to incorporate advanced technologies.
ECBC 2017 is technology neutral. Energy efficiency requirements have been framed to provide
architects and engineers artistic and technical freedom as long as minimum efficiency
requirements are fulfilled.
Passive designs strategies like daylight and shading are mandatory in ECBC 2017. Objective
for this change is to encourage design with passive strategies to be the norm for buildings in
India. Building energy codes are hinged on climate responsive buildings that use local natural
resources and climatic conditions to their advantage.
v
Passive design strategies are one of the most effective methods to ensure that building
designs and technologies are sensitive to the surroundings.
ECBC update process was designed to be a participative exercise that responded to the
concerns of the building sector stakeholders while maintaining the technical rigor that must
accompany any enforceable building energy code. Numerous meetings and regional
workshops were held to develop and review the recommendations. Tremendous
participation was seen from practitioners, developers, policy makers and manufacturers
during the review workshops conducted in different regions of the country.
On behalf of BEE team, I appreciate the invaluable contributions of the all working group
members. Each of them is a luminary of their respective field and have numerous other
crucial commitments. Yet for more than three years they worked diligently to ensure that
the update process is technically rigorous and the resultant code technically consistent.
The code would not have been completed without the commitment of officials from BEE.
Their efforts have ensured that the vision set for code update is embedded in ECBC 2017. I
also wish to acknowledge USAID and the team from USAID’s Partnership to Advance Clean
Energy - Deployment (PACE-D) Technical Assistance program for assisting BEE in anchoring
the code update process.
Shri Pradeep Kumar Pujari, Secretary, Ministry of Power; Shri. B P Pandey, Special Secretary,
Ministry of Power and Shri Raj Pal, Economic Advisor, Ministry of Power have facilitated the
update process and their guidance was instrumental in navigating inter departmental
coordination between several Government agencies that oversee building regulations in the
country.
I do hope that this endeavour which is evolved through collaborative efforts of many officials
will be instrumental in encouraging efficiency in building sector of India. ECBC 2007 laid the
foundation for energy efficient buildings in India. ECBC 2017 would aspire to strengthen it
further.

The Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2017 is now ready for launch. The technical
update of the code was required to reflect technological developments that have happened
over the intervening period. Also, building management systems have now enabled building
energy consumption to be managed and link the same to a number of external and internal
operating parameters.
Energy Conservation Building Code 2017 is the culmination of close coordination that started
in 2012. This update has been made possible with the commitment and knowledge of Chairs
and members of the Working Groups. Dr. N K Bansal, Late Mr. H S Mamak, Dr. R S Agarwal,
Dr. Bhim Singh, and Mr. Gulshan Aghi have contributed immensely in developing a
comprehensive code. They were joined in the working groups by leading sustainable building
experts in India - Mr. G S Modgil, Mr. Sanjay Prakash, Mr. Anurag Bajpai, Dr. Archana Walia,
Dr. Milind Rane, Mr. Rajan Rawal, Dr. Jyotirmay Mathur, and Ms. Mili Majumdar.
Energy efficiency measures in ECBC 2017 are informed by actual construction practices and
existing level of energy efficiency trends in Indian construction sector. Special thanks are due
to members of Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Manufacturers Association of India, Indian
Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air-conditioning Engineers, Electric Lamp and Component
Manufacturers Association of India, International Copper Promotion Council, Indian Electrical
and Electronics Manufacturers Association, Central Building Research Institute Roorkee, and
Indian Society of Lighting Engineers who shared data on current market trends. Experts from
Central Public Works Department, Administrative Staff College of India, Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy, Town & Country Planning Organization, Bureau of Indian Standards and
other government agencies were instrumental in ensuring that the code is synchronized with
other standards and legislation applicable to buildings.
ECBC 2017 also provides for a futuristic building performance standard which the building
industry can work towards, irrespective of updates to ECBC. The updated code has defined
three levels of energy performance standards. In ascending order of efficiency, these are ECBC
compliant building, ECBC+ Building and Super ECBC Building. Fulfilling requirements
stipulated for ECBC building level of efficiency is necessary for demonstrating compliance with
the code. The other two levels are voluntary. Subsequent updates in ECBC will be focused on
making ECBC+ Building and Super ECBC Building the baseline of energy efficient buildings in
the country. This feature was added to give notice to the building industry of baseline building
energy efficiency standards in coming years and give time to the market to adapt.
The update process was a comprehensive exercise which was able to retain its rigor and
technical consistency due to efforts of Ms. Apurva Chaturvedi, Senior Clean Energy Specialist,
USAID. Dr. Bhaskar Natarajan from PACE-D TA program provided constant support and
guidance in management of the code development processes.

Hisham Ahmad, Mr. Syed Nabeel Ahmad, Ms. Aarti Nain, Mr. Gurneet Singh, Ms. Anamika
Prasad, and the team of architects, engineers and renewable energy experts from
Environmental Design Solutions. The code requirements and stringency for ECBC 2017 were
informed by their research and analytical studies.
ECBC 2017 would not have been possible without the commitment and support of officers
from BEE beginning with the former Director General Dr. Ajay Mathur, former Energy
Economist Mr. Sanjay Seth, former Assistant Energy Economist Mr. Girja Shankar, Assistant
Energy Economist Mr. Arijit Sengupta and Project Engineers Ms. Anju Singh, Mr Niral Rajesh
Modi, and Mr Ishan Jain.
BEE also appreciates the stakeholders from the building industry in India who have provided
constant feedback on improving ECBC. I do hope that an endeavour that involved
collaborative efforts of so many will be instrumental in encouraging efficiency in buildings in
India.

Energy cooperation is a key element of the U.S.-India strategic partnership. The two countries
have been working together to accelerate clean energy deployment and ensure energy
security since the 1950s. The most recent partnership between the U.S. and India, the
Partnership to Advance Clean Energy – Deployment (PACE-D), was initiated in 2009 to
leverage skills and resources of agencies from both the U.S. and India for scaling up
deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in India.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency,
Ministry of Power has a long standing and fruitful partnership in enhancing energy efficiency
of buildings in India. In 2007, USAID supported the development of the Energy Conservation
Building Code (ECBC) in 2007 under the Energy Conservation and Commercialization (ECO) II
bilateral program. With PACE-D, we have extended this partnership in a logical direction
through technical assistance for update of the ECBC 2007 and its implementation in states.
ECBC 2017 supports many of the Government of India’s objectives for achieving energy
security, economic growth and environmental sustainability. As a primary policy driver for
guiding building construction, it is a forward looking code and will push the building sector
towards near zero energy targets. USAID is proud to be associated with the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency and the Ministry of Power on such a progressive and innovative building energy
code, ECBC 2017.
I congratulate the Bureau of Energy Efficiency and the Ministry of Power on the launch of
ECBC 2017. India is in a massive construction phase and the code can be a transformative tool
for integrating energy efficient design and technologies in all new commercial buildings.

1. Purpose
In accordance with section 14(p) of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 the purpose of the
Energy Conservation Building Code (Code) is to provide minimum requirements for the
energy-efficient design and construction of buildings. The Code also provides two additional
sets of incremental requirements for buildings to achieve enhanced levels of energy
efficiency that go beyond the minimum requirements
PURPOSE
The Code is applicable to buildings or building complexes that have a connected load of 100
kW or greater or a contract demand of 120 kVA or greater and are intended to be used for
commercial purposes.
Buildings intended for private residential purposes only are not covered by the Code.
SCOPE
This code would become mandatory as and when it is notified by the central or state
government in the official Gazette under clause (p) of Section 14 or clause (a) of Section 15
of the Energy Conservation Act 2001 (52 of 2001)
ECBC Buildings shall demonstrate compliance by adopting the mandatory and prescriptive
requirements listed under ECBC Compliant Building requirements in §4 to §7, or by
following the provisions of the Whole Building Performance (WBP) Method in §9.
ECBC+ Buildings shall demonstrate compliance by adopting the mandatory and prescriptive
requirements listed under ECBC+ Compliant Building requirements in §4 to §7, or by
following the provisions of the Whole Building Performance (WBP) Method in §9.
The provisions of this code do not apply to plug loads, and equipment and parts of buildings
that use energy for manufacturing processes, unless otherwise specified in the Code.
(a) Any policy notified as taking precedence over this Code, or any other rules on safety,
security, health, or environment by Central, State, or Local Government.
(b) Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s Standards and Labelling for appliances and Star Rating
Program for buildings, provided both or either are more stringent than the
requirements of this Code.
SCOPE
2.4 Reference Standards
The National Building Code of India 2016 (NBC) is the reference standard for lighting levels,
heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), thermal comfort conditions, natural
ventilation, and any other building materials and system design criteria addressed in this
Code.
(a) Hospitality: Any building in which sleeping accommodation is provided for commercial
purposes, except any building classified under Health Care. Buildings and structures
under Hospitality shall include the following:
(b) Health Care: Any building or part thereof, which is used for purposes such as medical or
other treatment or care of persons suffering from physical or mental illness, disease, or
infirmity; care of infants, convalescents, or aged persons, and for penal or correctional
detention in which the liberty of the inmates is restricted. Health Care buildings
ordinarily provide sleeping accommodation for the occupants. Buildings and structures
like hospitals, sanatoria, out-patient healthcare, laboratories, research establishments,
and test houses are included under this type.
(c) Assembly: Any building or part of a building, where number of persons congregate or
gather for amusement, recreation, social, religious, patriotic, civil, travel and similar
purposes. Buildings like theatres or motion picture halls, gathering halls, and transport
buildings like airports, railway stations, bus stations, and underground and elevated
mass rapid transit system are included in this group.
(d) Business: Any building or part thereof which is used for transaction of business, for
keeping of accounts and records and similar purposes, professional establishments,
and service facilities. There are two subcategories under Business – Daytime
i. Schools
ii. All other types of institutes, e.g. college, university, training institutes etc.
(f) Shopping Complex: Any building or part thereof, which is used as shops, stores, market,
for display and sale of merchandise, either wholesale or retail. Buildings like shopping
malls, stand-alone retails, open gallery malls, super markets, or hyper markets are
included in this type.
(g) Mixed-use Building: In a mixed-use building, each commercial part of a building must
be classified separately, and –
Any building which does not fall under any of the categories defined above shall be classified
in a category mentioned above that best describes the function of the building.
Energy efficiency requirements for the Code were derived after analysing 16
different non-residential building typologies (shown below), that in turn are
broadly based on building classification in the National Building Code of India.
Spatial layouts, material specifications, façade characteristics, and occupancy
patterns have an impact on energy efficiency of a building and differ for
these typologies. Potential for reducing energy use with technology and
materials thus varies from building type to type. By analysing this potential,
ECBC energy efficiency requirements are now sensitive to building typologies and, to the extent
possible, only requirements that are feasible have been included.

(b) Vertical fenestration, located such that its bottom is more than 2.2 m above the level of
the floor, is exempt from the SHGC requirements in Table 4-10 and Table 4-11, if the
following conditions are complied with:
i. The Total Effective Aperture (WWR X VLT) for the elevation is less than
0.25, including all fenestration areas more than 1.0 meter above the floor
level; and,
ii. An interior light shelf is provided at the bottom of this fenestration area,
with a projection factor on interior side not less than:

A 5,400 m2 two story office building in Delhi is trying to achieve ECBC level
compliance. It has a rectangular layout (90 m x 30 m) with floor to floor
height of 4.0 m and floor area is evenly distributed over the two floors.
Windows are either east or west facing and equally distributed on the two
floors. The windows are all 1.85m in length and 2.165m in height with an
overhang of 0.85 m, sill level is 1.385 m above floor level. The overall glazing
area is 384 m2. SHGC of the glazing in the East/West Fenestration is 0.30;
ENVELOPE
area weighted U-Factor is 3.0 W/m2.K. VLT of the glazing in all orientation is 0.5. Will the vertical
fenestration comply with the ECBC through prescriptive approach?
Solution:
Table 4-10 and §4.3.3 lists the U-factor, SHGC and VLT requirements for vertical fenestration for
ECBC compliant buildings. The building is located in Delhi (Latitude: 28070’ N, Longitude: 77010’E),
which falls under the composite climate, as per Appendix B, Table 12.1. To fulfil prescriptive
requirements, Window to Wall ratio ≤ 40%, SHGC ≤ 0.27, U-factor ≤ 3.0 W/m2.K, and VLT ≥ 0.27.
Total Floor area = 5400 m2
Total wall area = 2 x (2x ((90m x 4m) + (30m x 4m))) = 1,920 m2
Total Fenestration area = 384 m2
Window to Wall Ratio (WWR) = 384/1,920 = 20%
As per the calculations, the building has a WWR of 20%, thus complying with the requirement for
WWR. The U-factor is also equal to 3.0 W/m2.K. Similarly, the VLT is 0.5, which is greater than the
minimum specified value of 0.27, thus complying with the U-factor and VLT requirement.
Equivalent SHGC Calculation
The window SHGC is 0.3 which is not meet the prescriptive requirement of Table 4-10. However,
the windows have an overhang of 0.85 m. As the windows have an overhang, this case will fall
under the exception, and the equivalent SHGC value will be calculated by dividing fenestration
SHGC by Shading Equivalent Factor (SEF).
For projection factor (PF) 0.34, the SEF for east, and west are taken from Table 4-12, as the latitude
is greater than 15˚N.
SEF for east for PF = 0.3 (as worst case) = 1.26
Therefore, equivalent SHGCEast = 0.3 ÷ 1.26 = 0.24 Hence the vertical fenestration on the east façade
will comply as per prescriptive approach, as the equivalent SHGC is less than maximum allowed.
Similarly, for the west façade:
SEF for west for PF = 0.3 (as worst case) = 1.27
Therefore, equivalent SHGCWest = 0.3 ÷ 1.27 = 0.24, hence the vertical fenestration on the west
façade will comply using the prescriptive approach, as the equivalent SHGC is less than maximum
allowed.

8.1 General
DEFINITIONS
Certain terms, abbreviations, and acronyms are defined in this section for the purposes of
this code. These definitions are applicable to all sections of this code. Terms that are not
defined shall have their ordinarily accepted meanings within the context in which they are
used.
8.2 Definitions
A
Above grade area (AGA): AGA is the cumulative floor area of all the floor levels of a building
that are above the ground level. Ground level shall be as defined in building site plan. A floor
level is above grade if one-third of the total external surface area of only the said floor level
is above the ground level.
Addition: an extension or increase in floor area or height of a building outside of the existing
building envelope.
Air conditioning and condensing units serving computer rooms: air conditioning equipment
that provides cooling by maintaining space temperature and humidity within a narrow
range. Major application is in data centers where dissipating heat generated by equipment
takes precedence over comfort cooling for occupants.
Area weighted average (AWA) method: AWA method is based on the concept of weighted
arithmetic mean where instead of each data point contributing equally to the final mean;
each data point contributes more “weight” than others based on the size of the area the
said data point is applicable to. To calculate the area weighted average mean, a summation
of each data point multiplied with its respective area is divided with the total area.

(f) Air-side and water-side economizers with integrated control.
In addition to the above, the simulation tool shall be able to produce hourly reports of
energy use by energy source and shall have the capability to performing design load
calculations to determine required HVAC equipment capacities, air, and water flow rates in
accordance with §5 for both the proposed and Standard building designs.
The simulation program shall be tested according to ASHRAE Standard 140 Method of Test
Table 9-1 Modelling Requirements for Calculating Proposed and Standard Design
(a) Other components: Components and parameters not listed in Table 9-2 or otherwise
specifically addressed in this subsection shall be identical to those in the Proposed
Design.
(b) All HVAC and service water heating equipment in the Standard Design shall be modeled
at the minimum efficiency levels, both part load and full load, in accordance with
§5.2.2.
(c) Where efficiency ratings, such as EER and COP, include fan energy, the descriptor shall
be broken down into its components so that supply fan energy can be modeled
separately.
(d) Minimum outdoor air ventilation rates shall be the same for both the Standard Design
and the Proposed Design except for conditions specified in §9.4.2.1.
(e) The equipment capacity for the standard design shall be based on sizing runs for each
orientation and shall be oversized by 15% for cooling and 25% for heating, i.e., the ratio
between the capacities determined by the sizing runs shall be 1.15 for cooling and 1.25
for heating.
(f) Unmet load hours for the Proposed Design shall not differ from unmet load hours for
the Standard Design by more than 50 hours. Maximum number of unmet hours shall
not exceed 300 for either case.
(a) when modeling demand controlled ventilation (DCV) in the Proposed Design (DCV is not
required in the Standard Design as per §5.2.1.3.
cmh = Standard Design supply airflow rate auto-sized by the simulation software
Fan power shall be modeled as per power and efficiency limits specified in using a static
pressure of 622 Pa or the design static pressure, whichever is higher. The simulation
software shall automatically calculate the Standard Design fan power based on the above
inputs.
Exception to §9.4.2.5: Airside economizer shall not be modeled for Standard Design HVAC
System Type A.
Exception to 9.4.2.8: Air cooled chillers are allowed to be modeled in the Standard Design if
the Proposed Design has air cooled chillers. If the proposed building has a mix of air and
water cooled chillers, then the Standard Design shall be modeled with a mix of air and water
cooled chillers in the same proportion as in the Proposed Design.
9.4.2.11 Boiler
Standard Design boilers shall be modeled as natural draft boilers and shall use the same fuel
as the Proposed Design. Boiler efficiency shall be modeled as per .
specified and supported through pertinent documents. New district plants shall comply with
the mandatory requirements of ECBC irrespective of who owns and/or operates the district
plant.
Projects may choose either option A or option B given below for modelling campus/district
cooling systems.
Option A
The cooling source shall be modeled as purchased chilled water in both the Standard Design
and Proposed Design. For the Standard Design, Table 9-2, shall be modified as follows:
(a) For System Type C; purchased chilled water shall be modeled as the cooling source.
(b) System Types A and B shall be replaced with a two-pipe fan coil system with purchased
chilled water as the cooling source.
The Standard Design shall be modeled as per Table 9-2 HVAC Systems Map.
For the Proposed Design, model a virtual onsite chilled water plant with Chiller, Pumps and
cooling towers modeled at minimum efficiency levels as per §9.4.2.7 to §9.4.2.10.
Airside/low side capacities shall be modeled as per design and the plant capacities shall be
auto-sized by the software.
The EPI Ratio for ECBC+ and SuperECBC Buildings shall be equal to or less than the EPI Ratios
listed under the applicable climate zone in Table 9-5 through Table 9-9 of §9.5.

§ 4.2.1.1 and § 4.2.1.2 require that U-factors and solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) be
determined for the overall fenestration product (including the sash and frame) in
accordance with ISO 15099.
In several cases, ISO 15099 suggests that individual national standards will need to be more
specific and in other cases the ISO document gives users the choice of two options. This
section clarifies these specific issues as they are to be implemented for this code:
(a) § 4.1 of ISO 15099: For calculating the overall U-factor, ISO 15099 offers a choice
between the linear thermal transmittance (4.1.2) and the area weighted method
(4.1.3). The area weighted method (4.1.3) shall be used.
(b) § 4.2.2 of ISO 15099: Frame and divider SHGC’s shall be calculated in accordance
with § 4.2.2. The alternate approach in § 8.6 shall not be used.
(c) § 6.4 of ISO 15099 refers the issue of material properties to national standards.
Material conductivities and emissivity shall be determined in accordance with
Indian standards.
(d) § 7 of ISO 15099 on shading systems is currently excluded.
(e) § 8.2 of ISO 15099 addresses environmental conditions. The following are defined
for India:
For U-factor calculations:
Tin = 24 qC
Tout = 32 qC
V = 3.35 m/s
Trm,out=Tout
Trm,in=Tin
Is=0 W/m2
For SHGC calculations:
Tin = 24 qC
Tout = 32 qC
V = 2.75 m/s
Trm,out=Tout
Trm,in=Tin
Is=783 W/m2
U-factors for unrated vertical fenestration, both operable and fixed, shall be assigned as per
Table 10.2.1.
