What the document covers
BEE's Eco-Niwas Samhita 2024 presents a consolidated residential energy-conservation and sustainability code. Its scope goes beyond the envelope to subjects including building services, water management and indoor environmental quality. Chapter 2 sets out scope and applicability; Chapter 6 addresses water conservation and management.
Questions to bring to the design team
- Which version and local requirements apply to this project?
- How are envelope, daylight and ventilation decisions coordinated?
- Which water and building-service measures need space in the design?
- What calculations and documents will demonstrate the applicable requirements?
