Case Study: ECBC Compliance Building, Wisdom Ark School Mohali, Punjab

The primary purpose of this paper is to check the effect of the imposition of ECBC ( Energy Conservation Building Code) -2017, describe and provide the likely energy consumption of the Wisdom Ark School, Mohali, Punjab and to assess the percentage savings of the proposed building over the standard building as per ECBC-2017 by Whole Building Performance method. The whole building simulation software performs hourly simulation in an approved software and derives the estimated energy consumption for a given building. The software used for the analysis of the building’s energy performance is eQUEST Version 3.65. In line with the requirements outlined in ECBC, the software is a program based on the DOE-2.2 simulation engine project that has gone for ECBC compliance through whole building simulation and it has achieved 8 % energy savings compared to standard ECBC model with an EPI of 89.5& EPI ratio of 0.92.
