Abstract
Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) sets minimum standards for the design and construction of buildings. It (ECBC) promotes the energy efficient design or retrofits of the buildings without affecting their functions, comfort, health and productivity. It also serves appropriate regards for economic considerations of the building by lowering the cost of construction and by minimizing future energy consumption charges. Furthermore, its implementation will reduce (i) future energy production cost and (ii) carbon footprints in the environment. Implementation of the code is at a minimal scale due to the lack of acts and rules which make them mandatory at the state and ULB levels. If the code is applied on a large scale, the benefits are enormous and this makes it important to point out their benefits to the decision-makers. With the same line of thought, this study focuses on quantifying the impact of ECBC at the state/city levels. This study attempts in evaluating the existing building stock details by considering the spatial distribution and land use data. Further, the energy performance at the building level is derived. Thus, the energy performance at the city level is projected and identified. The study majorly helps in estimating the scenarios of floor space projections while demonstrating the energy-saving impact of ECBC at the city level. The study goes on to demonstrate the usage of the spatial distribution based on GIS applications, building energy simulations and literature-resources in determining and estimating the energy consumption of the building.
