In a groundbreaking move for sustainable development, Sindh has officially launched the Energy Conservation Building Code 2023 (ECBC-2023), setting a new benchmark for energy-efficient construction across the province. Spearheaded by the Sindh Energy Efficiency and Conservation Agency (SEECA) in collaboration with NEECA Pakistan and the Buildings Energy Research Center, this initiative has received vital support from German cooperation (Giz Pakistan), marking a major leap toward green urbanization.
The ECBC-2023 is more than just a policy—it’s the foundation of the Sindh Green Buildings Initiative, a joint effort with the Sindh Building Control Authority to promote sustainable construction, enhance policy frameworks, and build technical expertise. With buildings accounting for a significant share of energy consumption, this initiative aims to curb energy waste, lower carbon emissions, and pave the way for climate-resilient cities.
This move comes at a critical time when Pakistan faces mounting energy challenges. By adopting globally recognized energy-efficient building standards, Sindh is leading the charge toward a just energy transition. The initiative will not only reduce operational costs for homeowners and businesses but also create new green jobs, driving economic and environmental benefits alike.
With #EnergyEfficiency and #SustainableDevelopment at its core, the ECBC-2023 is a game-changer for Pakistan’s urban future.
