Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) was drafted with an objective to improve the

energy efficiency in the buildings and infrastructure sector in India. The first version of the ECBC

was launched by the Ministry of Power (MoP), Government of India, in May 2007, as the first

step towards promoting energy efficiency in the commercial building sector having connected

load of 500 kW or Maximum demand of 600 kVA or above or 1000m2 of air-conditioned area.

During subsequent stages of discussion and amendment there-of requirements where revised to

100kW or more, or contract demand of 120kVA or more. Since then State Nodal agencies in

synergy with Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) had been building capacity of civil society for

promoting measures regarding improvement of energy efficiency under Energy Conservation

Act (EC Act) 2001.

GoMP realizes the potential growth in Commercial and building sector along with its

contribution in Indian economy. And as State Designated Agency, MPUVN has been

empowered under Section-15(a) of EC Act 2001 for amending it according, to regional

requirements and local climatic conditions of MP. MPUVN is in the process of notifying ECBC

and MP- ECBC Rules, with the help of BEE in association with the European Union along with

PwC India.

In order to sensitize Government Departments and Concerned agencies involved in

regulating and implementation building/constructional bylaws in Madhya Pradesh about the

Energy conservational aspect of building. Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd, Bhopal under
