Abstract :

Buildings are responsible for more energy use and CO2 emission, than any other sector, including transportation. Recent efforts world over is to achieve improved energy performance of buildings and finally to achieve net–zero energy. In India, Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) have published the energy conservation building code (ECBC), which among others addresses the requirements of energy efficiency in buildings envelope. In this paper, an overview of ECBC for building envelope have been highlighted. Further, the research direction needed in India in the area of energy–efficiency in buildings is also highlighted.
