Approach To Building Energy Codes' Implementation In India (2015)
Authors: Rajan Rawal, Prasad Vaidya, Sanyogita Manu Abstract:
Various works carried out by Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Energy (CARBSE) at CEPT University, Ahmedabad, has been discussed in this paper. The objective of this project was
also to develop a framework for Third Party Assessor (TPA) model to facilitate ECBC compliance and enforcement. The proposed Third Party Assessor framework can resolve the issues of capacity and expertise to enforce ECBC at the local government level. However, coordinating with different government agencies and other relevant stakeholders to incorporate the TPA framework would be a challenging and time-consuming initiative. A tiered approach to ECBC compliance has been proposed wherein, Tier 1 includes those requirements of ECBC that are easy for market adoption, have a high energy savings potential, and are enforceable through the current building permit process, while tiers 2 and 3 include additional measures of ECBC that are more difficult to implement or enforce, given the current practices, and have a lower potential for energy conservation.
