Energy Conservation Act, 2001 alongwith Rules, 2003

This authoritative edition brings together the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 and the Energy Conservation Rules, 2003, pairing verbatim statutory text with plain-language annotations, practice notes and compliance templates. The book explains the creation and functions of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the statutory duties of designated consumers (including mandatory energy audits and reporting), and the regulatory instruments available to central and state governments — notably the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) and related standards. Clause-level commentary clarifies processes for designation, accreditation of energy auditors, timelines for furnishing information, penalties for non-compliance and the interplay with demand-side management. Practical annexures provide model energy-audit checklists, sample compliance submissions, flowcharts for ECBC compliance, and an index of key notifications and amendments. The edition also flags recent policy developments and amendment pathways that affect market measures (for example, mechanisms to support renewable consumption and carbon/credit schemes) so readers can connect statute to current regulatory practice. Designed for engineers, energy managers, counsel and policymakers, this compact resource converts statute into operational steps that reduce compliance risk and speed implementation.
