Hi Ram..The ECB code states builders to use only specified materials like electric wires and other equipment. For instance, installation of non-standard motor would be rejected in a multi-storeyed apartment and the builder should use ISI motor as per ECB code.

The commercial and multi-storeyed residential apartments will be rated with stars as per its energy efficiency. A five star residential apartment denotes high energy efficiency while a single star denotes less energy efficiency

Hi..It is believed that if the buildings comply with the ECB norms, energy wastage could be avoided and up to 40 percent of energy can be saved.
