TN adopts centre's energy code, but skips residential buildings

The code aims to target commercial buildings in the state that consume a significant amount of electricity. These buildings will be required to abide by the 'energy conservation building code' created by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEEE).

The state's decision to implement the ECBC code has raised concerns as it ignores the Centre's 'Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022', which substitutes the definition of 'energy conservation building codes' with 'energy conservation and sustainable building code'. The new 'energy conservation and sustainable building code' expands the scope to include buildings used or intended to be used as an office or for residential purposes.
