this route will have a long-term impact on the Indian
economy.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency has also formulated energylabeling
regulations to promote energy efficiency in
the design stage itself for Refrigerator, Air conditioners,
Motors, Distribution Transformer, Agricultural pump sets

household refrigerator is planned to be launched in 2006
on a voluntary basis.
The “Energy Conservation Building Codes” (ECBC) are
