The Andhra Pradesh State Government will soon notify an mandatory Energy Conservation Building code (ECBC) star rating for Multistory Non Residential (Commercial) Buildings.
The code would be applicable to all non-residential buildings with more than 1,000 sq. mt of plotted area or 2,000 sq mt of built up area, whichever is higher.
Initially, single star energy conservation shall be made mandatory in respect of all these structures.
Dear Mr.Kiran,
Will it be from the beginning of the project, if so who will be authorized to do that. Please let me know details or Is there any course on ECBC to certify?
Thanks
Yes it need to be srarted from initial stage of approval of plan with muncipality. As stated in the APECB Code it should be authorised by empaneled architects registered with NEDCAP, BEE or Local Urban Munciple Body.
