Actually this is not a new initiative, the decision to adopt the ECBC code was taken in 2014 and it will finally be enforced in the city from June 1.

All the buildings would have to obey the guidelines of ECBC, which are aimed at using electricity and other natural resources wisely.

They have not given any final date for this, the system is in final stage and once the online approval system is finalized and launched it will make the process of building approval easy and straightforward for real estate developers and builders.
