Feasibility Study of Energy Conservation Building Code 2017 for Hotels

This book explores the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2017s effectiveness in the hotel sector, analyzing energy consumption and ECBC standards potential to boost efficiency in hotels across diverse climates. Given the building sectors significant role in global energy use and the rising demand in rapidly growing economies like India, the books research, based on 48 hotel buildings, identifies key energy consumption areas, especially water and space heating. Using simulation software, it evaluates construction materials impact on energy performance, considering factors like walls, windows, roofs, occupancy patterns, and building orientation. It offers practical recommendations for improving energy efficiency, including financial viability and payback periods. This resource is essential for policymakers, architects, engineers, and building owners aiming to implement energy conservation measures. It provides actionable insights and practical solutions for hotel buildings, contributing to sustainable building practices and environmental stewardship.
