Reduction in the energy consumption of the built environment in India in an easy and cost-efficient manner, by inclusion of ECBC and GRIHA compliant specifications in the CPWD schedule of rates. This could result in an estimated energy savings of 30-40% and even more besides enhanced thermal and visual comfort conditions of buildings.The project aims to influence the early adoption of the ECBC and GRIHA in the building industry in India. By making available all the standard specifications, schedules of rates, and their analyses to building industry professionals, it shall allow the integration of energy efficiency measures to be included in all building contract documents from a pre-design level, which is the stage where energy efficiency strategies impact maximum savings potential at minimum investment.It shall help raise awareness on the flexibility of the ECBC and GRIHA.
