India GBC’s commitment towards Advancing Net
Zero in India
❖ Reduce Energy demand of new and
existing buildings
❖ Support Govt’s policies such as
➢ Energy Conservation Act 2010
❑ Energy Conservation Building Code
➢ National Action Plan on Climate Change
(NAPCC)
❑ NMEEE - National Mission for Enhanced Energy
Efficiency
❑ NSM - National Solar Mission
 Achieved 21GW out of 100GW target by 2022

Market Transformation to create demand for Energy

Definition India GBC -Net Zero Energy
Buildings
‘Net Zero Energy buildings are those
that are designed to have the lowest
energy demand, high energy efficiency
during its operation and thereafter its
energy requirements are met through
renewable energy sources’

 Renewable Energy

❖ Building to install both onsite/ offsite

RE systems towards Net Zero

❖ Approach
➢ Encourage onsite renewable energy

➢ Onsite RE to cater to a minimum of 5.0 %

of total building energy consumption

➢ Balance to be catered through offsite

renewable energy

❖ 150 kWp solar PV system at CII-

GBC’s premises in Hyderabad
❖ Unique project to demonstrate &
showcase the viability of
establishing net zero energy
buildings
❖ System cost – INR 1.15 crore
❖ Energy generation – 240 MWh
❖ Payback – 6.4 years
❖ PV modules – PPAM Solkraft,
Sweden
➢ Bifacial solar PV modules – 360 Wp
& 300 Wp
