Abstract

The building sector in India is set to grow exponentially. It already has a huge environmental footprint, with the domestic and commercial sectors consuming some 30 per cent of India’s electricity. The imperative to go green, therefore, is clear. The question is where, and how. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has issued the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) to improve energy performance of buildings by 40-60 per cent. But the use of the code in design is not linked to the actual performance of a building after it has been commissioned. Even after the introduction of green building rating programs, efficient appliance rating programs, policy instruments to deliver green, incentives and awareness programs, the situation is becoming even more alarming. This only raises concerns over the effectiveness of these systems to steer the focus towards reducing impact and increasing efficiency. The use of energy efficient buildings will be a larger step ahead towards sustainable development.
