ALCBT in India
Overview
The India Cooling Action Plan (ICAP) targets the reduction of cooling demand, refrigerant transition, and enhancement of energy efficiency of new and existing buildings by 2038. Recognizing this potential the Government of India launched the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) to establish minimum energy performance standards for buildings in India. Initially mandated for all commercial buildings across India, they were extended to residential buildings in 2018.Despite massive efforts, mainstreaming ECBC through adoption and implementation still faces several challenges. If not addressed, this could lead to a seven-fold increase in carbon emissions by 2050.
The ALCBT project is being implemented in 3 states of India, primarily Haryana, Kerala and Uttar Pradesh. under the guidance of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, Government of India. Each of these states experiences a variety of different climatic conditions annually resulting in their different energy usage patterns throughout the year. With the rate of India’s economic growth and increased construction of new buildings foreseen in the public and private sectors over the next two decades, there is a significant opportunity and necessity in these states transition to low-carbon buildings.
