Draft Outline of EE&C Law of Building Sector
Commercial sector

Residential sector

To business operator in commercial sector:- EC Guideline- Reduction efforts of energy intensity by 1% in annual average in mid-longterm [Specified business operators(Energy intensive )] (e.g 1GWh/yr,10000m2/yr)- Appoint Energy Managers- Periodical report- Med-long term plans

To residential constructor:- EC Guideline on design[Specified businessoperator](e.g. 100 house/yr)-EC Guideline on design[Specified building size](e.g.≥ 500 m2 )To manufacturer , importer & retailer ofappliance and building materials:-Standard (MEPS)-Labeling

Review on Myanmar National Building Code 2016
Architecture for energy efficiency and green (100,000 sq-ft or more)
It is described the requirements for EE and green building.
This section is optional section under Architecture and Urban Design.
It will be later directed for compliance by the Authority .
Building Materials Standard are temporarily referring to the ASTM andIS in this Myanmar National Building Code during preparation of theNational Standards and Specifications by cooperating Ministry ofConstruction and Ministry of Education

EE related instructions is not included as mandatory.
Envelop Thermal Transfer Value, Roof Thermal Transfer Value, Natural
Light usage, and so on is not specified.
Need to develop EE guideline for building
