The Indo-Swiss Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP), in collaboration with the state government, has launched the guidelines for energy-efficient and thermally comfortable public buildings in Karnataka.
The guidelines have been developed keeping in view different climatic regions found in Karnataka and provide a step-by-step approach to designing efficient public buildings.
The project BEEP is a bilateral cooperation project between the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Switzerland. The project is being implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government of India, and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The overall objective of BEEP is to reduce energy consumption in new buildings and disseminate best practices for the construction of low-energy residential and public buildings.
For popularising the concept of integrated approach to achieve a cost-effective energy-efficient building design in India, BEEP has provided assistance to the Public Work Departments of some of the states in designing Energy Conservation Building Code-compliant buildings. BEEP began its partnership with the PWD Karnataka in June 2013 and has extended technical support ever since.
