Savings compared with typical building with the same area
ECBC 2017 sets three Tiers of Building Energy Performance:
ECBC (requires 25% less energy than typical building);
ECBC+ (requires 35% less energy than typical building);
SuperECBC (requires 50% less energy than typical building)

Economic performance of ECBC 2017-compliant building varies depending
on type of building, operational pattern of office building (daytime use or
24h), location (climate zone)
Number and geographic
distribution of climate
zones remained the same as
in ECBC 2007
• ECBC 2017 provides
climate zone data for major
Indian cities
Building should comply with provisions of ECBC 2017:
New commercial buildings with load demand > 100 kW or 120
kVA;
Additions to existing commercial buildings if connected load
demand of building with additions > 100 kW or 120 kVA;
Alterations to existing commercial buildings if altered part of
building or systems > 100 kW or 120 kVA of load demand
