## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a):  The  Energy  Conservation  and  Sustainable   Building  Code  (ECSBC)  is framed  by  the  Bureau  of  Energy  Efficiency  (BEE)  in  2024,  replacing the Energy  Conservation  and  Building  Code  (ECBC)   and  applies  to  new buildings or building complexes,  whether  residential,  commercial,  or official  use,  with  a  minimum  connected  load  of  100  kW  or  a  contracted demand of about 120 kVA and above.

Under awareness campaigns and capacity-building programmes in States/UTs,  a  total  of  973  training  programmes  were  conducted  and approximately  41000  officials  have  been  trained  on  ECSBC/ECBC  by  BEE during last five years since 2021. Also, CPWD Works Manual mandates all major projects to be minimum 3 Star (Upto 5 Star) GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Assessment-2021) certification in which all eco-friendly features are integrated part of all projects. CPWD with the help of Bureau of Energy Efficiency  published  Delhi  Schedule  of  Rates  (E&M)  -  2025  which  has provision for Energy efficient E&M items. CPWD has emphasis to use C&D waste judiciously and has issued necessary guidelines in this regard. Use of non-conventional energy such as rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) solar power generation,  Solar  water  heating,  Geo-thermal  heat  exchange  are  being adopted  in  CPWD  Works.  The  energy  efficient  technology  and  material, Energy efficient lighting, renewable energy system are also being used in CPWD Works to reduce heat loss in building and lesser use of AC appliance etc.

- (b)  During  the  last  five  years  an  amount  of  Rs.  54,20,55,329/-  has  been allocated  to  various  States/UTs  under  energy  efficiency  programmes implemented by BEE. The details of fund allocation for the last five years (FY 2021-26) are attached at Annexure-I.
- (c)  BEE  develops  and  updates  the  code,  states  adopt  it  through  legal notification, and urban local bodies (ULBs) integrate its provisions into the building  approval  and  permitting  process.  Approximately  1,400  ULBs across twenty-seven States and Union Territories have adopted ECBC for implementation. BEE does not maintain a list of ECBC-compliant buildings or building complexes nationwide.
- (d) No such policy exists. However, all possible measures are being taken for energy efficient green buildings as part of renovation, upgradation and maintenance work.
- (e) Some of the projects with green building norms are as follows:
- i. East Kidwai Nagar, New Delhi
- ii. AIIMS Bilaspur, HP
- iii.
- KTPO Premises, Bangalore

- iv. IIM, Sambalpur, Odisha
- v. Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi
- vi. Kaushal Bhawan, New Delhi
- vii. Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
- viii. Aayakar Bhawan, Kochi, Kerala
