    Energy Conservation in Buildings & Community Systems Programme (ECBCS)

    Research Programme

    The primary rationale for ECBCS is its research programme. This is mainly undertaken through aseries of Annexes. Typically each Annex has a life span of 3-4 years, although extensions are possible if a continuing need for the activity is identified. Clear goals are set for each activity so that well defined products are generated. A complete list of Ongoing and Completed research projects is presented below: Publicatons are available for several ongoing and most completed annexes.
