Rating Program for buildings, provided both or either are more stringent than

the requirement of the Code.

5. COMPLIANCE MECHANISM

1) GENERAL

a) In order to comply with MP-ECBC, the buildings should:

have an Energy Performance Index Ratio (EPI Ratio) that is less

than or equal to 1

comply with all mandatory requirements as described under MP-

ECBC

compliance shall be as per the climatic classification mentioned in

Annexure-II for building location (Hot-dry or Composite climatic

region where building is going to be constructed or occupied)

b) Determination of EPI of the building shall be established through any

one of the following two methods as mentioned in ECBC:

Prescriptive Method:

Building that demonstrate compliance through Prescriptive

Method shall be deemed to have an EPI equal to standard Building

EPI, and therefore an EPI ratio of ‘1’ or ‘MP-certified.

Whole Building Performance Method:

The EPI of building that demonstrate compliance through

WBP method shall be calculated using compliance path defined in

ECBC. Applicant with “whole building performance” approach

having EPI-ratio less than 0.95, can avail the benefits of MP-Star

ratings as mentioned in table below:

11

Category Compliance Requirement

MP-

Certified

Compliance by prescriptive method as per MP-ECBC. Or

compliance by WBP method with energy savings up-to

5% above standard design

MP 1 Star Compliance by whole building performance method with

every savings of >=6% and 10% above standard design

MP 2 Star Compliance by whole building performance method with

every savings of >=11% and <=15% above standard

design MP 3 Star Compliance by whole building performance method with

every savings of >=16% and <=20% above standard

design MP 4 Star Compliance by whole building performance method with

every savings of >=21% and <=30% above standard

design MP 5 Star Compliance by whole building performance method with

every savings of >30% above standard design

c) EPI-Ratio for Core and Shell Buildings:

EPI for Core and Shell building shall be calculated for the entire

building based on the final design of the common areas and the relevant

mandatory undertaking(s) in the tenant lease agreement for the leased

area as mentioned in section-5.II.ii.a & 5.II.ii.b of these rules

d) EPI-Ratio for Mixed-use Development:

In a mixed-use building, each commercial part of a building must

be classified separately (as defined in section 3.2 of these rules), and EPI-

Ratio shall be calculated separately for each sub-classification, as per

section-5.II.ii.a & 5.II.ii.b of these rules. The EPI-Ratio of a mixed-use

Proposed Building shall be calculated based on area-weighted average

method. To calculate the reference maximum design EPI-Ratio, listed in

ECBC, applicable for mixed-use building, each commercial part of

mixed-se building shall be classified separately, and

If a part of the mixed-use building has different classification and is

less than 10% of the total above grade area, the EPI-Ratio of the

mixed-use Proposed Building shall be less than or equal to

12

Maximum Allowed EPI listed in ECBC, for the building sub-

classification having highest percentage of above grade floor area.

If a part of the mixed-use building has different classification and is

more than 10% of the total above grade floor area, the EPI of the

mixed-use Proposed Building shall be less than or equal to

Maximum Allowed EPI for compliance calculated based on area

weighted average method for all buildings sub-classification listed

in ECBC

Exemption to the above: Any portion of a mixed-use building

classified in a category which doesn’t fall under the scope of ECBC is

exempted from demonstrating compliance

2) APPROACH:

a) Mandatory Requirements

Building shall comply with all mandatory requirements

mentioned under MP-ECBC, irrespective of compliance path

b) Prescriptive Method

A building complies with the Code using the Prescriptive Method if it

meets the prescribed minimum (or maximum) values for applicable

building systems in additions to meet all the mandatory requirements

Building Envelope Trade-off Method:

Building Envelope Trade-off Method may be used in place of the

prescriptive criteria of ECBC. A building complies with the Code

using the Building Envelope Trade-off Method if the Envelope

Performance Factor of the proposed building is less than or equal

to the EPF of the standard building, in addition to prescriptive

method and all mandatory requirements as mentioned in ECBC

c) Whole Building Performance Method

A building complies with the Code using the Whole Building

Performance (WBP) Method when the estimated annual energy use of

the Proposed Design is less than that of the Standard Design, even though

it may not comply with the specific provisions of the prescriptive

requirements while mandatory requirements needs to be fulfilled using

WBP method.

13
