Abstract: The objective of this research project has been to examine the building codes of different countries to get the understanding for the implementation of Energy Conservation Building Code for Residential Building ECBC-R). Different code covers different regions or climatic conditions and variety of buildings type, like residential or simple buildings. With building codes initiatives in residential building, India could save in total 2.7 Billion TCO2 emissions (approx) in next 30 years or 380 million TCO2 emissions by 2030. Some analysts also estimate out of the entire electricity consumed in the building sector, around 75% is used in the Residential buildings. Building energy codes for residential buildings are an important regulatory measure for ushering energy efficiency in the building sector. They are particularly relevant for our country like India where the building stock is rising rapidly. To understand the important key of ECBC-R different countries building codes were studied by desk research and by conducting semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. A description of Enforcement and energy saving analysis is also presented with a complete and clear energy building codes comparison worldwide. Best practices covering the following emerging country China, Hongkong, Singapore, and Germany are highlighted.
Keywords: ECBC-R, Building Code, climatic Zone, energy Savings, building Materials.
