National Energy Conservation
Award 2010 get record
participation
In its 20th year, the National Energy Conservation Awards, now a
hallmark of energy conservation, commitment and cooperation,
witnessed record participation from industry. These awards symbolise
Indian industry's effort to achieve energy efficiency and recognise
innovation and achievements by various establishments in energy
conservation. The awards have been a source of motivation for the
participating units to undertake serious efforts in energy conservation.
Gracing the Annual National Energy Conservation Day function in New
Delhi on December 14, 2010, the Union Minister for Power, Hon'ble Shri
Sushilkumar Shinde, gave away the awards to the winners. This year the
awardees were from 32 sectors from Industry; Hotels; Hospitals; Office
Buildings; Shopping Malls; Zonal Railways; State Designated Agencies;
Municipalities; Thermal Power Stations; and Manufacturers of Electrical
Appliances carrying star labels certified by the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE). The awards suggest the potential for large scale
replication and of concrete measures that can help address India's
energy security issues.
"Energy conservation across all sectors of the economy is essential for
balancing growth in energy demand and economic growth, while
ensuring that India's access to energy is managed efficiently. The
response from various stakeholders is a testament to increasing
commitment towards energy efficiency and conservation," said Shri
Shinde.
The Ministry of Power and BEE together have brought energy
conservation and management to the centre stage of India's power
sector with different schemes and programmes. Commenting on the
awards, the former Minister of State for Power, Shri Bharatsinh Solanki
said "The tremendous potential that energy conservation has for saving
power can bridge the gap between demand and supply. The need of the
hour is to have a more vigorous and focused national level participation
by all stakeholders to meet the desired objective of reducing the energy
intensity. These awards are a step in this direction."

Message
from
Director General, BEE
Very warm greetings for 2011 along
with this second issue of BEELINE.
We celebrated the National Energy
Conservation Day across the country on December 14, 2010. The
National Energy Conservation Awards and the awards for the National
Children Painting Competition on Energy Conservation were given
away by the Union Power Minister Shri Shushilkumar Shinde. As a
special highlight, I feel proud to share that a record 15 lakh children
participated in the painting competition from all over the country in the
year 2010.
Interestingly enough, we also saw a lot of activities as far as energy-
efficient buildings are concerned, and this issue of BEELINE captures
quite a few of them, including the launch of the ECOnirman Tool and of
the star-rating programme for shopping malls. In addition, the PEDA
office building in Chandigarh was awarded five-star building rating, and
was soon after visited by Prince Charles, who specifically choose to visit
this building because of its energy-efficient design.
It is also a privilege to bring to you, an interview with Karan Grover, who is
one of the leading architects of energy-efficient buildings in the country.
His vision and his passion are both infectious. We hope that his insights
would further provide all of us with both vision as well as inspiration to
act.
As this issue goes to Press, the Padma Awards for 2011 were
announced. It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the entire energy
efficiency community, to congratulate Shri C.N. Raghavendran on being
conferred the Padma Shree. Shri Raghavendran, Partner, C.R.
Narayana Rao Architects and Engineers in Chennai has been in the
forefront of the movement for the design of energy efficient buildings,
and several Chennai buildings enjoy low energy bills because of his
design. Some of these include Tidal Park, Anna Centenary Library and
the Infosys Campus. I found it especially gratifying that Shri
Raghavendran's award was listed in the science and technology
category (because of his contributions to energy efficient building
technology) rather than in the (equally appropriate) architecture
category.
I am sure that the Padma Shree conferred on Shri Raghavendran is the
first of many Padma Awards that, in future years, will be conferred upon
the leaders of change in the energy efficiency sector.

ECOnirman to aid architects, designers of EE buildings

The benefits of low energy buildings
are significant and will over the years
often out-weigh the extra costs
incurred during its construction. Lower
energy bills and other non-energy
benefits will - year after year - simply
ensure lower life-time costs.

BEE has developed the Energy

Conservation Building Code (ECBC) in
India to promote energy efficient
buildings. ECBC provides minimum
requirements for the energy-efficient
design and construction of buildings
having a connected load of 100kW or a
contract demand of 120kVA. It is
planned that the code shall be
mandatory (once enforced) for
commercial buildings or building
complexes. Dr. Ajay Mathur, DG - BEE at the launch

ECOnirman, developed by BEE, is a new web-based application which
has been developed to assist architects and engineers at design stage so
that they are able to assess the performance of their proposed buildings
under the purview of ECBC and accordingly facilitate design
improvements.
This application assesses the overall conformance of building as well as
its major building systems that include building envelope, HVAC, lighting,
service water heating and pumping and electrical power systems. The
reason why ECOnirman has been developed as a web-based application
is to ensure that it reaches a wide spectrum of users across the country.
Apart from ECOnirman, the ECBC Standard Training Package for
professionals has also been developed to strengthen and expedite BEE's
objective of ECBC implementation. The plan is to spread the training
programme across three days with an objective to enhance ECBC
awareness, provide administrative and technical guidance towards Code
compliance, help understand the technical basis of ECBC requirements
and introduce the participants to other useful resources and knowledge
bank. This training will conclude with an ECBC Proficiency Test for
professionals to gauge their understanding of the modules and the Code
itself.

Star Rating for Buildings - Shopping Malls Category

In order to accelerate the energy efficiency activities in the commercial
buildings, BEE has developed a Star Rating Programme for Buildings.
Under the programme, five categories of buildings - Shopping Malls,
Hotels, Hospitals, Office Building, and IT Parks in five climate zones in the
country have been identified. Energy Performance Index (EPI) in kWh / sq
m/ year is considered for rating the building and is calculated in terms of
purchased and generated electricity divided by built up area in sq.m.
However the total electricity does not include electricity generated from
on-site renewable sources such as solar photovoltaic etc. and the built up
area excludes parking and basement areas.
BEE has recently developed bandwidths for star rating the Shopping
Malls. A standard template has been developed which seeks data about
the building such as actual energy consumption, built up area, type of
building, hours of operation, climatic zone and other related information.

National Energy Conservation Award 2010 .....

The participating units of the 2010 Awards have collectively invested
` 5457 crore in energy conservation measures and achieved a monetary
saving of ` 2138 crore every year. These efforts have resulted in an annual
saving of 2422 million kWh of electrical energy, which is equivalent to the
energy generated from a 357 MW thermal power station at a plant load
factor of 0.775.
The response from the industrial and commercial units has been very
encouraging as is evident from the increasing participation level. This year
the Award Committee has selected one unit for Top Rank Award, 32 units
for First Prize, 30 units for Second Prize and 27 units for Certificate of
Merit.
Clearly, the awards have motivated the participating units to undertake
serious efforts to save energy and safeguard the environment. Shri P Uma
Shankar, Secretary, Ministry of Power, said that with an increase in the
number of participating units over the previous years-from 123 industrial
and commercial units in 1999 to 592 in 2010, the awards have made
significant progress in creating mass awareness on the use of energy,
particularly in the domestic sector.

Standards & Labeling: Promoting Capacity Building for
Test Laboratories in India
Shri Jiwesh Nandan, CEO, EESL, addressing the participants at the workshop
BEE, in association with CLASP/PwC, organized a workshop on capacity
building for test laboratories in India on November 15, 2010. The
workshop witnessed participation from BIS, NABL, Test Laboratories,
Manufacturing Associations, etc.
Inaugurating the conference, Dr. Ajay Mathur, DG - BEE, spoke about his
vision of the Standards & Labeling (S&L) programme and the enlarged
role of testing laboratories in the labeling scheme. Appreciating the efforts
by CLASP and PwC in putting together this workshop, DG spoke
passionately about the importance of testing taboratories in conducting
Check Testing / Verification Testing and Compliance in any labeling
programme.
Shri Jiwesh Nandan, CEO, Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL),
explained the role of EESL as an implementing partner of BEE and the
practical challenges in finding accredited test laboratories that can deliver
results in a time-bound manner. He also mentioned about the change in
the phase of the S&L programme and how the present emerging phase
shall create huge demand for testing and verification.
Smt. Abha Shukla, Secretary, BEE, highlighted the role of S&L
programme in the energy efficiency movement in India and contribution of
testing laboratories in the success of this program.
Municipal Demand Side Management (MuDSM) Programme
Electricity consumption in municipal sector is increasing steadily over the
last few years. Demand Side Management (DSM) can be an effective
mean to address growing gap between power supply and demand.
Municipal corporations must not only consider financial and resource
security benefit from DSM measures, but also need to recognize impact
on environment created by burning of fossil fuels.
Municipal bodies often lack sufficient institutional capacity to develop
practical approach for maximizing efficiency even after recognizing the
potential benefits. Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have to develop proper
approach & proper model to identify energy efficiency projects &
implementation strategy for efficient energy management. The goal of
energy management must be on provision of services like drinking water &
street lights with the least cost and least environmental effect.
The basic objective of the BEE's MuDSM programme is to improve the
overall energy efficiency of the ULBs which could lead to substantial
savings in the electricity consumption, thereby resulting in cost
reduction/savings for the ULBs. The total population of ULBs under
MuDSM is 1029.47 lakh which cover 12411.18 sq kms across 171 cities.
Situational Analysis Survey of current ongoing initiatives on energy
efficiency covers 23 states/UTs. The findings across all the 171 cities
across 23 states suggest that only 9 cities have exclusive energy cell with
Pimpri Chindwad, Jaipur and Surat leading as far as focus and efforts are
concerned. It's high time for ULB of remaining cities to provide exclusive
focus to energy efficiency initiative.
BEELINE Quarterly Newsletter - January 2011
The workshop took up for discussion the significance and role of the
testing laboratories as an integral part of the S&L programme, which
emphasized the key activities related to such laboratories. These included
support from test laboratories as an activity measuring the integrity,
identifying non compliance and convincing all involved parties that
compliance is a better option. The workshop also brought into focus the
need for putting in place adequate controls to minimise the level of
compliance, providing relevant information on market shifts and collecting
and sharing the data to measure the effectiveness of the program.
BEE's S&L programme for household electrical appliances aims at
providing information on energy performance of appliances based on the
standards issued by BEE so that the consumers can make informed
decisions while purchasing appliances. Increasingly, consumers are
making star rating an important criterion in the selection of a model as a
result of this programme, which is intended to reduce the energy
consumption of appliance without diminishing the services it provides to
consumers.
Currently there are 12 products under the scheme which was launched in
May 2006. The four products that are under the mandatory labeling
regime are frost free refrigerator, room air conditioner, TFL and distribution
transformer. The other products under the programme are direct cool
refrigerator, induction motor, agriculture pump sets, ceiling fan, LPG
stove, electric storage type geyser, colour television and washing
machine. With the success of mandatory labeling on four products and
voluntary labeling on other products, India has saved more than 3000 MW
of power as on March 31, 2010. The huge energy saving reflects the shift
in market towards greener products.
In order to take this concept forward and to measure the actual savings in
power consumption, it is necessary to first establish a base line of energy
consumption, which would act as a reference point. Thus, as a first step it
would be necessary to undertake the energy audit of the ULBs. Based on
the energy audit, appropriate projects can be recommended that have
potential for reduction in energy consumption. A cost benefit analysis
would enable the ULBs to decide whether or not to implement the
recommended energy efficiency solution.

G u e st I n te r v i e w
Our traditions tell us to conserve and use energy efficiently
Green architect Karan Grover is
passionate about the need to root
development in native culture and heritage
to make communities and growth
sustainable.
Named 'social entrepreneur' by the
prestigious Washington-based Ashoka
Foundation, Permanent Honorary Fellow
of the National Academy of Environment,
recipient of the US Green Building
Council's Platinum Award for the greenest building in the world, the Green
Globe Foundation's Green Globe Award for Architect, Infrastructure, and
the Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Award.
Here, he speaks with BEELINE about his beliefs, his faith and passion for
sustainable development.
BEELINE: How have you used traditional wisdom in your work,
notably in your award-winning architecture for the offices of the CII-
Sorabji Godrej Green Business Centre in Hyderabad, the Institute of
Plasma Research in Ahmedabad, and the Institute of Quality in
Bangalore?
Karan Grover: My inspiration comes from Champaner. I got involved with
this ancient 8th century settlement thirty years ago in my early 20s, when I
was just starting out in my career. Thirty years later we succeeded in our
petition to UNESCO to declare it a World Heritage Site, drawing attention
to the glorious lessons of Champaner for town planning and architecture.
The construction at Champaner works around the natural topography and
local weather conditions. It uses locally available resources and has some
sophisticated water retention structures.
The designers of the bygone ages worked out how jalis (grills) could be
fashioned to create wind channels to cool air, water bodies used to cool
walls and floors and how to align structures to capture the maximum light
and air … and thereby save enormous energy.
One of the most wonderful gifts of traditional architecture is the courtyard.
In vaastu shastra, the courtyard is held to be the navel, from where comes
life; nothing can be built in the courtyard, which is the soul of the house,
where the family gathers to talk, relax, clean the grain, make pickle, watch
the children play…. The courtyard aids in air circulation and ensures light
for every room; it gives life to the house.
I have experimented with courtyards frequently. At the Plasma Institute,
we have 17 courtyards in the 500,000-square feet complex. Elsewhere we
have experimented with jails and wind catchers. At the Bangalore Institute
of Quality, these experiments resulted in the ambient air temperature
being reduced by 11 degrees. The Institute has no need for air-
conditioners.
The other lesson of Champaner is the efficiency in using materials. The
structures are all modules of four. Given that all materials are in multiples
of four, this resulted in least or no waste. This is embodied energy-
efficiency.
BEELINE: How can you use these lessons for ordinary residences,
beyond special institutional buildings and complexes?
Karan Grover: In modern times, these principles were used in residential
colonies such as Old Delhi and Old Lahore … where north-south
alignments cut allowed better access to natural light, narrow lanes acted
as air channels and land-use was more efficient with low-rise-high-density
conjoined living-working-recreational spaces. All our traditional buildings
were green.
If the width of buildings are restricted and these are open to the north and
south, with protection provided for walls facing east and west, access to
both light and air can be improved. In several passages in the CII-Sorabji
Godrej Green Business Centre in Hyderabad, which is aligned north-
south, no artificial lighting is required during the day as the alignment and
BEELINE Quarterly Newsletter - January 2011
width allows natural light to bounce off the entire length. It is easy to have
natural lighting of around 20 feet in a 40-foot long north-south passage for
all daytime hours.
The important thing to note here is that energy efficiency was embedded in
planning, thinking, execution and everyday life!
Energy efficiency is not just about how much electricity flows through the
meter in a building, office or a house! The issue about efficiency is that it
comes about from a holistic approach. It is about the overall footprint of
construction and structures - the location, the orientation, materials
sourced, how these materials are used.
We need to set standards and targets for all buildings. The requirement for
water harvesting in all new structures is an excellent beginning as is the
BEE standards for energy efficient buildings. Going forward, we could
stipulate mandatory requirements for energy efficiency in constructions.
Simple steps - such as the north-south alignment described above - can
reduce use of artificial light. Proper insulation, ensuring green cover for
roofs and west or east facing walls can reduce energy use.
These are all passive steps - the 'frugal' approach that is so embedded in
traditional Indian thinking. We are so careful not to waste, we always
recycle … that attitude informs our traditional structures as well.
BEELINE: Can this approach be adopted for today's population base -
For modern cities?
Karan Grover: Yes, of course. It's the approach that is critical. The precise
steps taken would vary with the specific situation.
For example, green connectivity between locations would encourage
people to walk, instead of using cars, taxis or autos. The greenery would
introduce many other benefits - in terms of temperature control, thereby
reducing air-conditioning usage.
For example, also, new building laws could stipulate having lifts/elevators
- stop only on alternate floors. This would involve huge energy saving.
Introduce solar-powered street lighting. Bring in collective water
harvesting for better efficiency.
Use land with respect. A new township in Dharampur, Gujarat, for
example, used 22 per cent of the land for construction, instead of the 40
per cent allowed and built an energy-efficient environment. A new
residential complex in Gurgaon, situated all construction around a huge
golf course, thereby also introducing the same benefits of a green belt.
Waste collection, treatment and recycling are given requirements. And
metering use of resources - energy, water and so on is absolutely
imperative. It would establish wasteful usage.
But encouraging low-rise high-density living would also introduce energy
efficiency. Town planning that allows living, work and recreational areas to
be in close proximity also make such settlements energy-efficient and
sustainable. Chandni Chowk is a prime example of this.
Give prominence to pedestrian walk-ways and good public transport and,
simultaneously, levy high taxes on private cars. Green connectivity within
and between localities is an eminent way to reduce wasteful energy use.
Also levy slab charges for resources such as water and electricity so that,
beyond a certain level of use, the rates are much higher. This would
encourage careful use of these resources and cut back squandering.
BEELINE But the foundation for all these examples is a certain
approach - an approach that is sensitive to wasteful use of natural
resources, including land and is committed to sustainability in deed
and not merely words.
That approach underlies all our traditional settlements. With that
approach, architects, planners, scientists, administrators … anyone, can
think of dozens of ways to reduce waste. But taking that approach forward
requires will.
