Title of the project (tentative): Assessment of Building Energy Performance

(D)

Abstract/outline of the project:

The energy performance of a building concerns the amount of energy consumed or estimated to satisfy all the needs of
the building (heating, hot water heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting). Assessment of building energy covers a range of
environmental issues such as materials, energy, water, pollution, indoor environmental quality and building site.
With economic growth and growing prosperity the energy demands in India are rising. The country is now faced with
the challenge of meeting growing energy needs to sustain its economic growth, while dealing with the global threat of
climate change. The countrywide electricity consumption in commercial buildings since 2003 has gone up by 13
percent annually. This poses a challenge to the overall energy supply, and at the same time has an impact on the
environment. The use of energy efficient design and technology therefore is crucial. In India there is a potential to
reduce energy consumption in new commercial buildings by up to 50 percent. In 2007, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency
(BEE) of the Government of India came up with an energy code for new buildings. The code focuses on the
implementation of minimum energy efficiency standards for the design of new buildings for commercial purposes. This
code, however, is not mandatory. The overall objective of the project is to study and reduce energy consumption in the
buildings in India.
