Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

The Act empowers the Central Government and, in some instances, State Governments to:
specify energy consumption standards for notified equipment and appliances; direct mandatory display of label on notified equipment and appliances;

prohibit manufacture, sale, purchase and import of notified equipment and appliances not conforming to energy consumption standards;
Fr.CRIT,Vashi 3

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

notify energy intensive industries, other establishments, and commercial buildings as designated consumers; establish and prescribe energy consumption norms and standards for designated consumers; prescribe energy conservation building codes for efficient use of energy and its conservation in new commercial building(having connected load 500kW)

Features of the Energy Conservation Act 2001

State Governments may revise the energy conservation building codes direct every owners or occupier of a new commercial building or building complex being a designated consumer to comply with the provisions of energy conservation building codes; direct, if considered necessary for efficient use of energy and its conservation, any designated consumer to get energy audit conducted by an accredited energy Fr.CRIT,Vashi in such manner and at auditor 8 such intervals of time as may be specified

Establishment of BEE
The mission of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency is to develop policy and strategies with a thrust on self-regulation and market principles, within the overall framework of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 with the primary objective of reducing energy intensity of the Indian economy.

Fr.CRIT,Vashi

Establishment of BEE
Under the provisions of the Act, BEE has been established w.e.f. 1st March, 2002 by merging the previous Energy Management Centre, a society under the Ministry of Power. The Bureau would be responsible to lead the improvement of energy efficiency of the economy through various regulatory and promotional instruments.

Establishment of BEE
The primary objective of BEE is to reduce energy intensity in the Indian economy through adoption of result oriented approach. The broad objectives of the BEE are:
to assume leadership and provide policy framework and direction to national energy efficiency and conservation efforts and programmes; to coordinate policies and programmes on efficient use of energy and its conservation with the involvement of stakeholders;

to establish systems and procedures to measure, monitor and verify energy efficiency results in individual sectors as well as at national level;
Fr.CRIT,Vashi 11

Establishment of BEE
To leverage multi-lateral, bi-lateral and private sector support in implementation of the EC Act and programmes for efficient use of energy and its conservation To demonstrate energy efficiency delivery mechanisms, through private-public partnership To plan, manage and implement energy conservation programmes as envisaged in the EC Act.
Fr.CRIT,Vashi 12

Functions of BEE
arrange and organize training of personnel and specialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy and its conservation; develop testing and certification procedures and promote testing facilities; strengthen consultancy services;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi

Functions of BEE
create awareness and spread information;

promote research and development;

formulate and facilitate implementation of pilot projects and demonstration projects; promote use of energy efficient processes, equipment, devices and systems;

Fr.CRIT,Vashi

14

Functions of BEE
take steps to encourage preferential treatment for use of energy efficient equipment or appliances; promote innovative financing of energy efficiency projects;

give financial assistance to institutions for promoting efficient use of energy and its conservation;
prepare educational curriculum on efficient use of energy and its conservation and implement international co-operation programmes relating to efficient use of energy and its Fr.CRIT,Vashi 15 conservation.

Functions of BEE
Take all measures necessary to create awareness and distribute information for efficient use of energy and its conservation; Arrange and organize training of personnel and specialists in the techniques for efficient use of energy and its conservation; Strengthen consultancy services in the field of energy conservation; Promote research and development in the field of energy conservation;

BEE star rating Labeling programme

Central Government to, in consultation with BEE, Specify equipment and appliances for labeling Specify the energy consumption norms and standards Direct display of labels on specified appliances Enforce minimum efficiency standards by prohibiting manufacture, sale, and import of products not meeting the minimum standards BEE to
Recommend to the Central Government on labeling

What are Energy Efficiency label

Informative labels affixed to manufactured products describing the products energy performance (energy consumption, energy efficiency, energy cost, or combinations thereof) enabling consumers to make informed purchases

Fr.CRIT,Vashi

Types of Labels
Endorsement labels*
Offer a seal of approval that a product meets certain pre-specified criteria

Energy Star Endorsement Label

Comparative labels
Allow consumers to compare energy use among all available models in order to make an informed choice.
