Potential of energy savings through implementation of Energy Conservation Building Code in Jaipur city, India
Highlights ► The study evaluates energy savings through a Building Energy Code in a city. ► Six buildings from the city were modelled as per their specification and then Code's. ► Savings range from 17% to 42% in these buildings through Code implementation. ► Energy Savings ranges from 44kWh/m2/y to 128kWh/m2/y in different buildings. ► Potential of energy savings has been identified as 12,475MWh/y till 2015.
Abstract The potential impact of Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) of India, that is applicable on commercial buildings having more than 100kW connected load or 120kVA contract demand, has been analysed on six different type of buildings in Jaipur. Calibrated simulation models of these buildings have been created using their existing specifications to estimate the energy saving potential through ECBC. It has been found that the specific energy consumption of these buildings lie in the range of 137kWh/m2/y for the case of government building to 386kWh/m2/y for the private office. The energy saving potential with ECBC is in the range of 44kWh/m2/y in Government buildings as lowest effect, whereas in case of the private office, it is estimated to be 128kWh/m2/y. Percentage energy savings with ECBC compliance in these buildings vary from 17% in the case of institutional building to 42% in the case of Hospital building. Using these estimates and the trend of increase in commercial building energy consumption, the potential of energy saving in the city of Jaipur has been identified as 12,475MWh/y in the next five years.
