COMPLIANCE & APPROACH
ECBC 2017
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.

• The alternative that captures the “standard” design or minimum requirements for a project is called the "base case.” The
base case for this analysis has been devised using ECBC.
• Based on the energy consumption, annual Energy Performance Index will be calculated for base case and for each option
in kWh/m2/year.
• The base case EPI was found to be 123.2 kWh/m2/year based on an area of 5288 m2. The EPI was found to be 86.67
kWh/m2/year, 100.75 kWh/m2/year and 109.5 kWh/m2/year for Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3 respectively.
• EPI of Option1, Option 2 and Option 3 after considering the energy generated from SPV are equal to 67.7 kWh/m2/year,
81.9 kWh/m2/year and 90.7 kWh/m2/year respectively.
