Overview of ECBC envelope:
The building envelope refers to the exterior façade, and is comprised of opaque components and
fenestration systems. Opaque components include walls, roofs, slabs on grade (in touch with ground),
basement walls, and opaque doors. Fenestration systems include windows, skylights, ventilators, and
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
7 | P a g e
doors that are more than one-half glazed. The envelope protects the building‘s interiors and
occupants from the weather conditions and shields them from other external factors e.g.: noise,
pollution, etc.
Envelope design strongly affects the visual and thermal comfort of the occupants, as well as
energy consumption in the building. The design of the building envelope is generally the responsibility
of the architect. The building designer is responsible for making sure that the building envelope is
energy efficient and complies with the mandatory and prescriptive requirements of the code.
From an energy efficiency point of view, the envelope design must take into consideration both
the external and internal heat loads, as well as daylighting benefits. External loads include mainly
solar heat gains through windows, heat losses across the envelope surfaces, and unwanted air
infiltration in the building; internal loads include heat released by the electric lighting systems,
equipment, and people working in the building space.
A well designed building envelope not only helps in complying with the Energy Conservation
Building Envelope (ECBC) but can also result in first cost savings by taking advantage of daylighting
and correct HVAC sizing. The building envelope and its components are key determinants of the
amount of heat gain and loss and wind that enters inside. The envelope protects the building‘s
interior and occupants from the weather conditions and other external elements.
Wall
Walls are a major part of the building. Envelope receives large amounts of solar radiation. The
heat storage capacity and heat conduction property of walls are prime factors to meeting the desired
thermal comfort conditions. The wall thickness, materials and finishes can be chosen based on the
heating and cooling needs of the building. Appropriate thermal insulation and air cavities in walls
reduce heat transmission into building which is the primary aim in a hot region.
The basic elements of the Wall system are:
1. Exterior cladding (natural or synthetic)
2. Drainage plane (s)
3. Air barrier system(s)
4. Vapor Retarder (s)
5. Insulating Element(s)
6. Structural elements
Thermal storage / thermal capacity:
Thermal capacity is the measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a
layer of material, it is a product of density multiplied by specific heat and volume of the construction
layer.
The main effect of heat storage within the building structure is to moderate fluctuation in the
indoor temperature. In a building system, we can understand thermal mass as the ability of a building
material to store heat energy to balance the fluctuations in the heat energy requirements or room
temperature in the building due to varying outside air temperature. The capacity to store heat
depends upon the mass and therefore on the density of the material as well as on its specific heat
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
8 | P a g e
capacity. Thus, high density materials such as concrete, bricks, stone are said to have high thermal
mass owing to their high capacity to store heat while lightweight materials such as wood or plastics
have low thermal mass. The heat storing capacities of the building materials help achieve thermal
comfort conditions by providing a time delay.
This thermal storage effect increases with increasing compactness, density and specific heat
capacity of materials.
Thermal performance of walls can be improved by following ways:
1. Increasing wall thickness
2. Providing air cavity between walls and hollow masonry blocks
3. Applying insulation on the external surface.
4. Applying light colored distemper on the exposed side of the wall.
Conductance:
Conductivity (K) is defined as the rate of heat flow through a unit area of unit thickness of the
material, by a unit temperature difference between the two sides. The unit is W/mK (Watt per metre
- degree Kelvin). The conductivity value varies from 0.03 W/mK for insulators to 400W/mK for metals.
Materials with lower conductivity are preferred, as they are better insulators and would reduce the
external heat gains from the envelope.
Walls-insulation:
Thermal insulation is of great value when a building requires mechanical heating or cooling
insulation helps reduce the space-conditioning loads. Location of insulation and its optimum thickness
are important. In hot climate, insulation is placed on the outer face (facing exterior) of the wall so
that thermal mass of the wall is likely coupled with the external source and strongly coupled with the
interior (Bansal, Hauser, Minke 1994).
Air Cavities:
Air cavities within walls or an attic space in the roof-ceiling combination reduce the solar heat gain
factor, thereby reducing space-conditioning loads. The performance improves if the void is ventilated.
Heat is transmitted through the air cavity by convection and radiation. A cavity represents a
resistance, which is not proportional to its thickness. For a thickness >20mm, the resistance to heat
flow remains nearly constant. Ventilated air does not reduce radiative heat transfer from roof to
ceiling. The radiative component of heat transfer may be reduced by using low emissivity or high
reflective coating (E.g.: aluminum foil) on either surface facing the cavity. With aluminium foil
attached to the top of ceiling, the resistance for downward heat flow increases to about 0.4 W/m2k
compared to 0.21 W/m2k in the absence of the foil (Bansal, Hauser, Minke, 1994).
Windows
Windows are very important components of the building envelope and in addition to providing
physical and visual connection to outside; they also allow heat and light inside and add beauty to the
building. Solar radiation coming in through windows provides natural lighting, natural air and heat
gain to the space inside, thus significantly impacting the energy usage of the building. The main
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
9 | P a g e
purpose of a building and its windows is to provide thermal and visual comfort to the occupants using
the minimum possible energy.
Proper location, sizing, and detailing of windows and shading form are important parts of the bio-
climatic design as they help to keep the sun and wind out of building or allow them when needed. The
location of openings for ventilation is determined by prevalent wind direction, openings at higher
levels naturally aid in venting out hot air. Size, shape and orientation of openings moderate air
velocity and flow in the room, a small inlet and a large outlet increase the velocity and distribution of
air flow through the room. When possible, the building should be so positioned at the site that it
takes advantage of prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the west/north-west. The
recommendation is IS: 3362-1977 code of practices for the design of windows for lighting and
ventilation. There should be sufficient air motion in hot-humid and warm-humid climates. In such
areas, fans are essential to provide comfortable air motion indoors, fenestrations having 15% -20% of
floor area are found adequate for both ventilation & day lighting in hot & dry, and hot & humid
regions. Natural light is also admitted into a building through glazed openings. Thus, fenestrations
design is primarily governed by requirements of heat gain and losses, ventilation and day lighting. The
important components of a window are the glazing systems and shading devices
Primary components of a window which have significant impact on energy and cost of the building for
which guidelines are provided in this section are as follows:
1. Window size, placement
2. Glazing
3. Frame
4. Shading (external & internal)
5. Window size & placement
Height of window head: The higher the window head, the deeper will be the penetration of daylight.
Sill height (height from floor to the bottom of the window):
• The optimum sill for good illumination as well for good ventilation should be between the
illumination workspace and head level of a person. Carrying out any task, the suitable work plane
levels are to be 1.0 to 0.3 m high respectively.
• Strip windows provide more uniform daylight
• Punched windows should be paired with work areas to avoid creating contrasts of light and dark
areas.
• Avoid big windows close to task areas since they can be source of thermal discomfort and might
also cause glare.
Also larger the windows, the more important glazing selection and shading effectiveness are to
control glare and heat gain.
Use separate apertures for view and daylight—for good day lighting and glare control separate the
view and light windows. Light window should have clear glass for maximum daylight penetration.
Tinted glass could be used below for glare control. The structure in between the two provides a visual
break and an opportunity to attach light shelf or shading device.
Glazing systems:
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
10 | P a g e
The most common glazing material used in openings is glass, although recently polycarbonate
sheets are being used for skylights. Before recent innovations in glass, films and coatings, a typical
residential window with one or two layers of glazing allowed roughly 75% -85% of the solar energy to
enter a building.
Internal shading devices such as curtains, or blinds could reflect back some of that energy outside
the building. The weak thermal characteristics of the windows became a prime target for research
and development. In an attempt to control the indoor air temperature of buildings windows admit
direct solar radiation and hence promote heat gain. This is desirable in cold climates, but is critical in
hot climates. The window size should be kept minimum in hot & dry regions. The primary properties
of glazing that impact energy are:
1. Visible reflectance (affecting heat and light reflection)
2. Thermal transmittance or U - value (affecting conduction heat gains)
3. Solar heat gain (affecting direct solar gain)
4. Spectral selectivity (affecting daylight and heat gain)
5. Glazing colour (affects the thermal and visual properties of glazing systems and thus energy usage)
Visible transmittance (VLT %) or Daylight Transmittance
This is the percentage of normally incident visible light transmitted through the glazing. Glazing
with a high visible transmittance is clearer in appearance and provide sufficient daylight and views.
Clear glass however, can create glare problem. Glazing with low visible transmittance give better glare
control, but offer minimal daylight integration and diminished views.
Visible reflectance or daylight reflectance
This is the percentage of incident light that is reflected back. Most manufacturers provide both
outside reflectance (exterior daytime view) and inside reflectance (interior mirror image at night).
Treatments such as metallic coating increase the reflectance. Reflective glazing reflects a large
portion of the solar radiation incident on it, thereby restricting heat gain inside the building, which is
advantageous.
Disadvantage is that these reflective glazing allows low visible transmittance and thus minimal
daylight integration.
Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
These are the indicators of total solar heat gain through a glazing. SHGC is the ratio of the solar
heat gain entering the space through the fenestration area to the incident solar radiation. Solar heat
gains include directly transmitted solar heat and absorbed solar radiation, which is then re-radiated,
conducted or convected into the space. These indices are dimensionless numbers between 0 and 1
that indicate the total heat transfer of the sun’s radiation. These properties are widely used in cooling
load calculations. Glass with a lower SHGC or SC (Shading coefficient) helps in reducing cooling loads
in hot climate zones.
Building Envelope Trade Off Method
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
11 | P a g e
To comply with the Prescriptive Method of Section §4, the Building Envelope Trade-off Method is
being used in place of the prescriptive criteria of §4.3.1, §4.3.2 and §4.3.3. A building complies with
the Code using the Building Envelope Trade-off Method if the Envelope Performance Factor (EPF) of
the Proposed Building is less than or equal to the EPFof the Standard Building, calculated as per
§4.3.5.
The building envelope complies with the code if the Envelope Performance Factor (EPF) of the
Proposed Building is less than the EPF of the Standard Building, where the Standard Building exactly
complies with the prescriptive requirements of building envelope. This method shall not be used for
buildings with WWR>40%. Trade-off is not permitted for skylights. Skylights shall meet requirements
of 4.3.4. The envelope performance factor shall be calculated using the following equations.
This Site is in the Warm and Humid Climate Zone. hence Table 4-18 is being used.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air-conditioning)
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) refers to the equipment, distribution systems,
and terminals that provide, either collectively or individually, the heating, ventilation, or air-
conditioning requirement to a building or a portion of building.
HVAC systems also affect the health, comfort, and productivity of occupants. Issues like user
discomfort, improper ventilation, lack of air movement and poor indoor air quality, and poor acoustic
design are linked to HVAC system design and operation and can be improved.
The best HVAC design considers all the interrelated building systems while addressing indoor air
quality, thermal comfort, energy consumption, and environmental benefits. Optimizing both the
design and the benefits requires that the architect and mechanical system designer address these
issues early in the schematic design phase and continually revise subsequent decisions throughout
the remaining design process. It is also essential that a process be implemented to monitor proper
installation and operation of the HVAC system throughout construction.

Lighting
Lighting alone accounts for almost 15% of the total energy consumption in India. Lighting is an
area that offers many energy efficiency opportunities in almost any building facility, existing or new.
Using efficient lighting equipment and controls is the best way to ensure lighting energy efficiency
while maintaining or even improving lighting conditions. For a lighting designer, an energy efficient
lighting design involves careful integration of many requirements and considerations such as building
orientation, interior building layout, task illumination, daylight strategies, glazing specification, choice
of lighting controls, etc.
Energy savings:
Several studies have recorded the energy savings due to daylight harvesting. Energy savings for
electric lighting in the range of 20-60% are common. Savings are very dependent on the type of space
the light harvesting control system is deployed in, and its usage. Clearly, savings can only accrue in
spaces with substantial daylight where electric lighting would have been otherwise used. Therefore
daylight harvesting works best in spaces with access to conventional or clerestory windows, skylights,
light tube groups, glass block walls, and other passive day lighting sources from sunlight; and where
electric lighting would otherwise be left on for long periods.
It is too simplistic to try to increase energy savings by increasing the size of windows. Daylight
over-illumination may cause glare for occupants, causing them to deploy blinds or other window
shading devices, and compromising the daylight harvesting system. Even partially deployed venetian
blinds can cut energy savings in half.
Impressive energy savings estimates may not be realized in practice due to poor system design,
calibration, or commissioning. Systems that dim or switch electric lighting in a distracting manner, or
that produce overall light levels that are perceived as too low, can be sabotaged by occupants. (For
example, simply taping over a sensor will create constant electric lighting at maximum output.)
The adoption of daylight harvesting technologies has been hampered by high costs and imperfect
performance of the technologies. However, studies have shown that by using daylight harvesting
technologies, owners can see an average annual energy savings of 24%.
Sustainability:
The green building-sustainable building movement encourages sustainable architecture design
and building practices. Various green building Eco label certification marks exist around the world and
these programs offer points for various building design features that promote sustainability, and
certification at various levels is awarded for reaching a given number of points. One of the principal
ways to gain points is through energy saving measures. Therefore, daylight harvesting is a common
feature of green buildings. Thus green building practices are increasing the production of daylight
harvesting components, leading to lower prices.
Many electric utilities provide financial incentives for their customers to save energy. One such
incentive is rebates on daylight harvesting systems, which also reduces payback periods.
Exterior Lighting Control
As per the Code:
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
33 | P a g e
Lighting for all exterior applications not exempted in Section 7.3.5 (of the Code) shall be controlled
by a photo sensor or astronomical switch that is capable of automatically turning off the exterior
lighting when daylight is available or the lighting is not required.
Exterior Building Grounds Lighting As per the Code:
Lighting for exterior building grounds luminaries which operate at greater than 100W shall contain
lamps having a minimum luminous efficacy of 60lm/W unless the Luminaire is controlled by a motion
sensor or exempt under Section 7.1 of ECBC.
Efficacy of Lamp (with or without ballast) is the lumens produced by a lamp/ballast system divided
by the total watts of input power (including the ballast), expressed in lumens per watt.
Lighting which is exempted under Section 7.1 of ECBC is mentioned below:
a) Emergency lighting that is automatically off during normal building operation and is powered by
battery, generator, or other alternate power source
b) Lighting in dwelling units
High-efficiency lighting components, such as T-8 fluorescent lamps and electronic high-frequency
ballasts, make a significant impact on lighting energy and its associated costs by reducing the kW
required for illuminating the buildings. Lighting controls, on the other hand, affect lighting energy by
directly reducing lighting’s time of use. Some lighting control techniques, such as using photocell
controls in building spaces that incorporate day lighting, not only reduce lighting time of use but also
decrease lighting power and may even reduce the average cost of electricity by eliminating some
lighting kW during peak demand periods.
Interior Lighting Power
For interior lighting power requirements, the installed lighting power used by luminaries, including
lamps, ballasts, current regulators, and central devices is first calculated using the procedure that will
be discussed under the head Luminaire Wattage. The calculated installed power is then compared
with the maximum permissible Interior Lighting Power Densities, specified for a number of building
types (Building Area Method) or building space functions (Space Function Method). These shall be
SIB Kakkanad ECBC COMPLIANCE REPORT 2018
34 | P a g e
discussed in further details under their specific heads.
Building Area Method
This method is used to calculate total watts per square meter for the entire building based on its type.
In order to show compliance by this method, sum of the interior lighting power for all the areas in the
building should not exceed the total watts. The first step is to identify the allowed power lighting
density for appropriate building area types listed in Table 2 below. If more than one listed type
applies to the area, the more general building area type should be used. The second step is to
calculate the gross lighted floor area for each of the building area types (this can be done using the
building plans). Finally, the last step is to multiply the allowed watts per square meter listed for each
selected building type by the corresponding lighted floor areas to determine the allowed light power
allowance.
Total Area of the Building = 21286 sqm
Permissible Light Power Density (LPD) = 9.5 W/sqm
Total Permissible Wattage for Lighting in Interior Areas = 9.5 x 21286 w
= 202217 W
= 202 kW
Provisions for Lighting as per Report = 37 kW
Building Lighting Systems and Controls are Complying with the ECBC Requirements.

Installed Interior Lighting Power
As per the Code:
The installed interior lighting power calculated for compliance with the prescriptive requirements of
the ECBC shall include all power used by the luminaries, including lamps, ballasts, current regulators,
and control devices except as specifically exempted in Section 7.1 of the Code.
Exception to above:
If two or more independently operating lighting systems in a space are controlled to prevent
simultaneous user operation, the installed interior lighting power shall be based solely on the lighting
system with the highest power.
Luminaire Wattage
The ECBC requires that Luminaire wattage be incorporated into the installed interior lighting power
calculation as follows:
a. The wattage of incandescent luminaries with medium base sockets and not containing permanently
installed ballasts shall be the maximum labeled wattage of the luminaries
b. The wattage of luminaries containing permanently installed ballasts shall be the operating input
wattage of the specified lamp/ballast combination based on values from manufacturers’ catalogs or
values from independent testing laboratory reports
c. The wattage of all other miscellaneous Luminaire types not described in (a) or (b) shall be the
specified wattage of the luminaries
d. The wattage of lighting track, plug-in bus way, and flexible-lighting systems that allow the addition
and/ or relocation of luminaries without altering the wiring of the system shall be the larger of the
specified wattage of the luminaries included in the system or 135 W/m (45 W/ft). Systems with
integral overload protection, such as fuses or circuit breakers, shall be rated at 100% of the maximum
rated load of the limiting device
Exterior Lighting Power
Lighting power limits are specified for building exterior lighting applications in Table 4. The connected
lighting power for these applications must not exceed these allowed limits. In addition, trade-offs
between applications are not permitted.
