The Programme for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PEEB) was launched at COP22 by Germany and France with support from the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), and is implemented by Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Energie (ADEME). While PEEB’s scope expanded in 2023 with new subprogrammes PEEB Cool and PEEB Med, these do not focus on Southeast Asia. The PEEB-ASEAN programme has evolved beyond initial exploratory discussions, culminating in the development of specific projects aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in the building.
The tailored approach of PEEB-ASEAN directly aligns with the commitment of ASEAN member states to enhance energy efficiency as outlined in various regional policies and frameworks, such as the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2016-2025, which emphasises the importance of sustainable building practices and regional cooperation in energy efficiency initiatives. Through the PEEB-ASEAN initiative, substantial progress is anticipated in the attainment of both national and regional energy efficiency targets, thereby contributing to overall sustainable development across the ASEAN region.
Therefore, ACE is seeking a Programme Manager to support the project activities.
