Associate Senior Energy Modeler - Building

31 July 2024

BACKGROUND

The Asia Low Carbon Buildings Transition project is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and implemented by a consortium comprise of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the Energy Efficiency Services Limited of India.

Rapid economic development in the region has led to a boom in building construction, with floor area projected to double by 2060. This growth drives energy demand and emissions, especially from cooling needs in hot climates. However, many Asian countries lack the frameworks, capacity, and financing to enable low-carbon buildings at scale. While regional plans like APAEC provide efficiency blueprints, targeted support is needed to assist governments, industries, and financial institutions in implementation. Therefore, the project will address regulatory, capacity and financing gaps that prevent large scale adoption of low carbon buildings (LCB).

Project interventions build technical and institutional capacity for city and state governments to contribute to national GHG emission reduction targets from building materials and operations, particularly from cooling, complementing regional and global initiatives in the five target countries – Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
