Efforts to Reduce Consumption and Improve Energy Efficiency in different sectors:-
(1)Lighting:- Bachat Lamp Yojana
The BEE will coordinate the Small-Scale Programme of Activities (SSC-PoA) and will supportthe project implementer(s) in implementing the CDM Programme Activities (CPAs) in India
through collaboration with Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOMs). The scheme afterimplementation will result in reducing GHG emissions (CO2) from power plants connected to
the grid.
Under the BLY scheme quality long-life CFLs would be distributed by SSC-CPAimplementer(s) to grid-connected residential households in exchange of an incandescent lamp
(ICL) and INR 15. Once the CFLs have reached their end of life or any CFLs which have failed prematurely during the project period, the SSC-CPA implementer(s) would arrange for the
collection and disposal of CFLs as per applicable environmental norms.
To bridge the cost differential between the market price of the CFLs and the price at which theyare distributed to households, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is harnessed. The
SSC-CPA implementer(s) would cover the project cost through sale of GHG emission reductionsachieved in their respective CPA areas.
The Bachat Lamp Yojana PoA is a scheme developed by BEE to promote energy efficientlighting in India. There are no mandatory requirements in India requiring the use of energy
efficient CFL at the household level. All the key players under the scheme like the BEE and participating implementer(s), DISCOMs and households are voluntarily taking part under this
scheme6. Further, right at the announcement of the scheme in May 2007 at the Conference of
8/8/2019 Energy Initiative Measures Taken by Bureau of Energy Efficiency-Group-9

Chief Ministers, the project has been envisaged as a CDM project. The Bachat Lamp Yojana
PoA was officially launched in February 2009.
(2)Building :- ENERGY CONSERVATION BUILDING CODE [ECBC]
Building in EC Act 2001:-
Building means any structure or erection or part of a structure or erection, after the rules relating
to energy conservation building codes have been notified under clause (a) of section 15 or clause
(l) of sub-section (2) of section 56, which is having a connected load of 500 kW or contract
demand of 600 kVA and above and is intended to be used for commercial purpose
Electricity Use in the Commercial Sector is increasing!

Background: ECBC
y Comply with energy consumption norms and standards and/or to prepare and implement
schemes for its efficient use and conservation.
y Prescribe energy conservation building codes for its use/conservation in commercial
buildings
y State Governments to amend building codes to suit regional and local climatic conditions.
y Direct owners or occupiers of commercial buildings to comply with provisions of
building codes.
What are Energy Conservation Building Codes?
y ECBC set minimum energy efficiency standards for design and construction
y ECBC encourage energy efficient design or retrofit of buildings so thato It does not constrain the building function, comfort, health, or the productivity of
the occupantso Has appropriate regard for economic considerations (life cycle costs i.e.
construction + energy costs are minimized)
ECBC Provisions in the EC Act 2001:-
y BEE would take suitable steps to prescribe guidelines for energy conservationbuilding codes
y Central Government can prescribe energy conservation building codes, and directowners/occupiers to comply with them
y State Government can modify the code in response to local climate conditions.
ECBC Development Approach:-
y Broad Stakeholder participationo Building Industry, Manufacturers, Professionals, Govt. Agencies etc.
y Addresses local design conditions and construction practices
y Emphasis on maximizing building envelope benefits to encourage better designs
y First generation code ease of use is a priorityo Both in terms of code requirements and language
ECBC development Process:-
y
An extensive data collection was carried out for construction types and materials,glass types, insulation materials, lighting and HVAC equipment
y Base case simulation models were developed
y The stringency analysis was done through detailed energy and life cycle cost analysis.
y A stringency level for each code component was established
y Code was finalized after consideration of comments on a draft version.

Addressing Climate Zones Variations:-
Five climate zones
y Composite (Delhi)
y Hot Dry (Ahmadabad)
y Hot Humid (Kolkata),
y Moderate (Bangalore)
y Cold (Shillong)
ECBC Compliance Approaches:-
Component-based (prescriptive)
requires little energy expertise; provides minimum performance requirements; noflexibility
System-based (trade-off)
allows some flexibility through the balance of some high efficiency components withother lower efficiency components
Whole building design analysis (performance)
allows flexibility in meeting or exceeding energy efficiency requirements (as comparedto a baseline building)

Building Envelope Design:-
ECBC Compliant Design Strategy for a Building
Environmentally Sensitive Design Makes Sense:-
y Energy savings are of the order of 50%
y Initial cost increases by 10 to 15%, but payback is obtained in 5 to 7 years
y The most cost effective way to meet the ECBC requirement is to design buildings withappropriate regard to climate and sun.
y A design not sensitive to sun and climate will have to invest more to meet the minimumECBC standard
National Impact Potential:-
y The average energy use (lighting and HVAC) for typical commercial building is 200 kWh/sq.meter/year.
y Mandatory enforcement of ECBC shall easily reduce the energy use by 30-40% to 120-160kWh/sq. meter/year.
y Nationwide Mandatory enforcement of ECBC would yield a saving of 1.7 billion kWh for2007-2008.

Municipal: -
Steps for Developing a Municipal Energy Efficiency Project
1) Self assessment to choose the best fit option for undertaking Energy Efficiency (EE) program to
identify the reasons for undertaking energy efficiency projects. Once it has been established that EE
project is a priority, the Municipality should select the most suited type of contract and financing option
for moving forward with EE project.
2) Collect energy usage data by carrying out a preliminary (walk-through) audit. The Municipality
should gather basic energy usage and other relevant data, such as mentioned in section B (in the
information sheet to be provided by the Municipality) and internally assess the low cost and no cost
options that can be implement using its own operation and maintenance (O&M) funds.
3) Develop and issue a request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for conducting an investment grade
energy audit and implementing an efficiency project in the target sector(s), such as water, wastewater,street lighting and municipal buildings. The EOI contains a brief description of the scope of work and
basic information on the municipal installations to be audited, and requests information on the technical
and financial capabilities of service firms including their personnel, audit instrumentation, and relevant
experience.
4) Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to all viable firms who submitted EOIs. The RFP describes the
facility's energy use, equipment, operating schedule, maintenance problems, and equipment replacement
or renovation plans, as well as the utility bill history for the past three years. It is recommended that a
site visit be organized for interested ESCOs to tour the facility and interview facility staff before
submitting their responses to the RFP.
5) Evaluate the proposals according to the terms of the RFP.
6) Finalize ESCO selection based on its expertise and relevant experience, making sure to match the
skills of the ESCO with the needs of the Municipality.
7) Award the Investment Grade Audit (IGA) contract, which is an agreement with the ESCO to
develop a project concept, and perform the IGA. The IGA report forms the basis for the energy
performance contract between the Municipality and ESCO, identifying all feasible short- medium- and
long-term energy saving measures and their payback periods, and providing the baseline data to be used
during monitoring and verification.
8) Package the documentation for third party financing, if necessary. The party taking on the
financing (be it the Municipality or ESCO) puts together a package of information on the project,
including the IGA report, for review by financial institutions. The financially relevant information
contained in the IGA report is critical at this stage for convincing a financial institution to provide a loan.
8/8/2019 Energy Initiative Measures Taken by Bureau of Energy Efficiency-Group-9
21/23
21
9) Enter into the performance contract. The contract sets the terms and conditions, by which the ESCO
implements the energy efficiency measures, including the responsibilities of the ESCO and
Municipality, the compensation schedule for the ESCO, financing conditions, maintenance, personnel
training, monitoring and verification procedures, risks and a risk mitigation plan, and the definition of
the baseline and possible adjustments to it. There are two distinct types of performance contract:shared
savings, where the financial risk lies with the ESCO and the savings are shared between the ESCO and
Municipality for a negotiated period of time; andguaranteed savings, where the ESCO guarantees loan
repayment and a certain amount of excess savings.
10) Monitoring and Verification (M&V) of results is performed according to the procedures in the
performance contract. M&V determines the actual savings over the period of the contract and ensures
that all parties are getting full value from the energy performance contract, including compensation for
the ESCO. It includes approval of equipment installation based on the contract specifications, and
involves regular communication between the ESCO and Municipality to monitor successful
implementation of the energy saving measures. Often, M&V can be performed by an independent third
party.

Conclusion
India, with a population of over 1.10 billion is one of the fastest growing economies of the world.
As domestic sources of different conventional commercial energy are drying up, dependence on
foreign energy sources is increasing. There exists a huge potential for saving energy in India.
After the first 'oil shock' (1973), the government of India realized the need for conservation of
energy and a 'Petroleum Conservation Action Group' was formed in 1976. Since then many
initiatives aiming at energy conservation and improving energy efficiency, have been

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) - the newly formed nodal agency for improving energy
efficiency of the economy - may be made an autonomous institution where intervention from the
politicians would be very low. For proper implementation of different initiatives to improve
energy efficiency, BEE should involve civil societies (NGO) from the inception to the
implementation stage of their programs.
The small-scale sector occupies a position of prominence in the Indian economy,
contributing to more than 50% of the industrial production in value addition terms. The
sector accounts for one third of the export revenue and employs the largest manpower next to
agriculture. In India's present liberalized economy, the survival and growth of small-scale
industry (SSI) largely depends on its ability to innovate, improve operational efficiency and
increase productivity. It has been observed that the factories in the small-scale sector in India
are generally less efficient in process and utility energy use compared to larger enterprises, as
well as to enterprises of equivalent capacity in other countries. There is also a general
disregard in small-scale units towards environmental management. The poor energy and
environmental performance is directly related to the lack of technical capacity in these
enterprises to identify, access, adapt and adopt better technologies and operating practices
In order to enable small scale enterprises adopt more efficient energy use patterns, it
is essential to demonstrate positive impacts of reduced energy use to the entrepreneurs in
terms of increased productivity and higher profitability.
Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) is an Indian government body created in
1976 and engaged in promoting energy efficiency and conservation in every walk of life. In the
recent past PCRA has done mass media campaigns in television, radio & print media. An impact
assessment survey by a third party revealed that due to these mega campaigns by PCRA, overall
awareness level have gone up leading to saving of fossil fuels worth crores of rupees besides
reducing pollution. Bureau of Energy Efficiency is an Indian governmental organization created
in 2002 responsible for promoting energy efficiency and conservation.
